They've really gotta get some guards to play in this next year.

halftime vid showing Biid (along with others) joining Kareem build some Habitat for Humanity homes. very cool, in and of itself. but, selfishly, here's hoping that Biid is getting some quality one on one with such a Goaty great. maybe pick up some valuable training on efficient moves down low.

This is hilarious. Embiid has to play point guard because no one on his team can dribble.

Embiid kicked it out to TLC and he air-balled it earlier. I will not miss that.

There really aren't many. You have Mudiay. Then you have Fournier, Schroeder and Oladipo who have one parent born in Africa. If one of those guys don't play you don't have much.

Actually if you ask me which Center I want for my perfect championship caliber team, I will chose Asik hands down

Man Dino would have been so filthy if he had a cleaner health history.

That turnover was classic... Still had two chances afterwards though so can't put all the blame on him.

How great is it to see him playing full games in August?

This will be the first season that he has gone into with a healthy summer in 5 years.

He is going to kill it this year.

Nice to see how talented Biid is. But he’s still has ways to go

Im not Hanlen but here’s my word of advise. Keep it simple like how Harden does his patented stepback. Even Gallo was able to do that stepback move over jojo down the stretch.
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

What stood out to me is how much he was the star of the event. He is easily the biggest star for the Sixers since Dr. J. Barkley and Iverson were stars, but had their negative side which limited their ability to be the face of the league (plus Barkley had MJ), but Embiid really has no negative aspect that the league/society would pull away from him. His only drawback is the banter on social media, but he's equally self deprecating as he is taking jabs at other players. The brick comment was hysterical!

Enjoy this time as a fan...fingers crossed he stays healthy, but he gets it and may end up being the signature star of the league the second LBJ hangs it up.
