Well........WOWOWOWOW

[Murray_17]

Imagine how many free throws LeBron or Edwards would get if they got a call every time they got touched driving

Right now? probably worst than Embiid based on FG%

[Murray_17]

Bev should have took the floater there. He was open and the clock was running

[phillynative]

I have never seen a player of Embiid's size get calls like he is a 6' Point Guard. I am thoroughly impressed by his ability to consistently draw fouls. It is incredible.

What's impressive is how players continue to get baited

Word. Jojo baits but he is also the most fouled player in the league. People act like just because he's big the rules don't count.

Exactly ,

Hmm? How does FG% relate to getting touched when being within the 3 Point Line?

Joel Embiid is a tremendous player. He is one of the two best players in the NBA along with Nikola Jokic. His biggest strength is the amount of pressure he puts on the referee's. He is impossible to officiate because he is so skilled and talented AND he sells every little contact.

Drawing Fouls and more importantly selling fouls is the hardest skill to master. Hopeful Anthony Edwards gets to the Joel Embiid/Trae Young level of selling every contact, but too often players like Edwards try to finish and power through contact [See LeBron James] rather than finding the right time to sell contact vs trying to actually finish.

Harden was the best player I have ever seen at it but Embiid is simply better because he is bigger. It puts an incredible strain of both defenses and officials and it is truly incredible how he has mastered the craft.

That''s a totally different point than to what i answered to, not my fault you came to troll without a serious idea of what you say

edit: also using Lebron is hilarious, he literally was averaging 10 fts a game at his ppeak too

Yup. And many other players like LeBron James don't get the whistle even though they draw contact on just about every drive.

I just wish all players had the same whistle, that is all

[ivysixer2000]

That will be overturned, but it was a foul that the ref was trying to make up for

[Mik317]

Giannis and Biid are huge dudes so they get a ton of calls

Biid grifts and Giannis RB DIVES too much but for everyone call they get for one of those there are often two missed calls in the name of keeping it even

Complaining about stars getting calls is lame loser **** anyway

I think everything I said comes from a point of seriousness and discussion.

You don't need to engage, but nothing I have said is trolling. I love Joel Embiid. I just argued for him on the PC Board vs Karl Malone--a widely regarded Top 20 player EVER.

Oh I am not complaining about their calls. I would like to see all players officiated the same.

I also think Embiid is so good at selling contact--all high FTR players are excellent at selling contact. If they weren't, they wouldn't have a high FTR.

Awww how unfortunate

Yes it was

Not for me or Philly Fans. I love players like Embiid who are just so talented at their size. It's incredible.

[Sixersftw]

Kat is like tremendously soft but I still really like him as a player.

[ivysixer2000]

Tobi needs to attack KAT off the dribble.......this is just getting on my damn nerves.

He is useless if he doesn't

[Sixersftw]

Remember when I said Pat Bev was cooked and not even that good anyway? yeah me neither, I never said that ****.

[ivysixer2000]

Reed, what were you doing....nevermind you don't know either

[Colbinii]

Shake Milton is one of the most inept players I have seen. How was he so effective and efficient during his time in Philly?

[brannigan73]

Can we stop with these dumb fouls.
