I’m getting serious GOAT vibes from Embiid
59
People say it’s disrespectful to compare him to Hakeem but looking at career arcs, he’s right with him. Olajuwon wasn’t a champion or MVP until he was 30–if Embiid can play like for a few more years and carry it into the playoffs he’s in that conversation.
35
I think he will be in convo with Dr J as the greatest sixer ever when he hangs it up
23
His health is the only thing that can stop him from being a Hall of Famer

THAT'S MY MVP

But he got pushed by Lebron while in the air and hurt his back AND hyperextended his knee. Clearly he can't be good because he missed games as a result.
It's science.

Also LeBron pushed him on that play instead of getting vertical bc he knew Embiid would have posterized him for the highlight of the year.

He's truly been elite on both sides of the floor, we're witnessing greatness.

It’s so great to see someone fulfilling expectations and really exceeding them in a lot of ways. His shooting touch is unreal to me. He’s got so much natural ability that he’s honed into this amazing player entering his prime.

I have a feeling he’s going to have an historic postseason. I think he’s got a 50/20 game or three in him. Especially if we hold onto home court. Jo. At home. More fans. 10,000 at WF will sound like 20,000+ come playoff time.
