Only MVP in NBA history to never do so.

Poll above.
** Embiid is the only MVP in NBA history to never make a conference final
** Philly won multiple playoff games without MVP Embiid
** Luka made the WCF without Brunson
** LeBron missed the playoffs with Davis
** Steph missed the playoffs with Klay

Embiid ends 10th season as a Sixer with 0 ECF appearances 

Post#5 » by Cubbies2120 » Fri May 3, 2024 3:45 am

Another playoff run with underwhelming results.

New coach, Maxey showing he’s a star and clutch af, and yet the Sixers are heading to Cancun in the first round.

His best chance was with Ben but he ran Ben out of town after the quack Sixers training + medical staff mismanaged his back injury...

They're still trusting the process, right?

Ben is trash and an even bigger choker than Embiid. His only chance was with Jimmy.

No. He's a fraud. This was the most fraudulent season in NBA history.

Embiid played 62% of his games at home, 39% of his games against teams that finished with 27 wins or fewer, and stat padded his ass off playing late into garbage time chasing his 30/10 streak.

And then Playoff Embiid showed up, as he always does. He doesn't want the ball in clutch time, he can't stay healthy, he's not a leader, and he's not in shape.

Loser.

When he cried to Marc Gasol after the loss to TOR and came back the very next season STILL out of shape I knew he didn't have it in him.

Love his game but he needs someone to be the lead, not necessarily in pts etc but by their attitude.

Having someone (a player and a coach) to fight and challenge him would do him a world of good!

As the best player?

No

Only as a bus rider.

To me he is the third best player in the NBA - Luka and Embiid are comfortably ahead of him.

Embiid has played his last game as a Sixers.

He will demand out this off-season.

Honestly i respect the performance he had on 1 leg. I actually thought this might be the year of getting to the ecf if they forced a gane 7

I agree, but with Simmons running point. That was the best team he had and they blew it up.
