“They want me to be Shaq but this league is different. You can't elbow people”-Joel Embiid

[WOLF2007]

He's not lying. Too much flopping in this league.

funny thing is he flops too

 

[eXodus]

This is such bullshyt!!

the league goes in cycles, a big man has to adjust!

You couldn’t be physical in the post in the 60s either but that didn’t stop Wilt (and early years Kareem) from getting his in the post!!

shaq would get marginalized now too*

Exactly. The NBA doesn't really want PFs and Cs to dominate. Its obvious with the rule changes in the past 30 years.

it's all in open court & perimeter now

it's all about skill

biggs have to adjust or get sat on the bench

Officiating is also an issue. Post players can get hacked the whole game, while guards and forwards get the benefit of the call from any contact.

it's give & take with the post

biggs want to cry about getting hacked but want to be free to drop the shoulder & throw bows at defenders

when your offense is based off physicality above skill they are gonna miss calls in the tussle

they have to hold the whistle because both players is fouling the shyte out each other in those situations

Shaq, his soft goofy ass can't even be Corliss Williamson.

I don't ever remember seeing a Center in the post looking for the refs to bail him out every time he gets the ball.

Boston has no big man, none what so ever. You telling me you can't put up 30 a game on Theis, lol.

But he literally averaged 30 PPG for the series

fukk this troll ass crybaby loser

 

[CROM]

Shaq used to get up and down the floor and was a terror on defense

Exactly Lakers would die to have AD average 30.

THIS CLOWN HAS A LOT OF GALL.

HIS POST GAME IS TRASH
WHEN HE CANT BULLY SMALLER
GUYS.

I SEEN THIS DUDE
MISS SO MANY SIMPLE HOOK SHOTS.
HE TAKES SO MANY 8 FT FADE AWAYS.
DOESNT KNOW HOW
TO PASS OUT OF THE DOUBLE
AND REESTABLISH POSITION.

HE REALLY NEEDS TO WORK
WITH SHAQ OR HAKEEM.

JOKIC HAS A WAY BETTER POST
GAME THAN JOEL.

​

 

[Flight]

Team is poorly constructed and the de facto PG won’t shoot. But JoJo has to get in better shape. He’s winded every game by the 4th. He needs to link up with Hakeem

 

[CHICAGO]

I think Embiid is the best post player in the league. I don't think it's strength, it's stamina. He can't dominate in the post throughout a 48 minute game.

LMAO

HES NOT AT ALL.
HE JUST GETS THE MOST POST TOUCHES.

LMA, JOKIC ARE MUCH BETTER
POST PLAYERS.

EMBIID CANT DO shyt
WHEN HE CANT BULLY GUYS
FOR SUCH A SUPPOSEDLY SKILLED
PLAYER.

I wouldn’t say it’s hard to post up . Joel post game just isn’t as good as it should be . He also doesn’t have the strength needed to dominate the post. I’ve seen him get pushed around countless times

Also he can't dribble

Every time he puts the ball on the court it's a turnover waiting to happen

Jo is soft & lazy.. look at his arms compared to Giannis

He doesn't work
