Did LeBron ever give a "my bad" for that play?

He plays like a 35 year old in terms of his movement. If his back is still bothering from the fall against the Lakers just sit him for 2-3 weeks around the all star game. No point in going like that into the playoffs.

Yeah I agree. I guess they're thinking about HCA, and maybe the MVP bid as well. Unless it's a danger, they're probably going to continue this. I definitely don't think he should play the all-star game. Remember last year where Ben played and then got hurt with his back?

Embiid’s mid range shooting has higher % than Michael Jordan. Currently, his numbers in % and makes are comparable to Kevin Durant.

We're not worthy you guys. I hope he stays healthy this year, if he can, I feel he'll get the MVP. LeBron will fade now that AD is gone. Only concern in my opinion will be Lillard.

BTW my favorite part is 12:15. Tobi's reaction when he gets up. He's like okay bruh, save it for the bedroom, and let go of my hand already.

He has surpassed Giannis this season. We’re pretty much the bucks and the Bucks are playing like the Sixers last season :lol:

I know we like to goof on Drew Hanlen, but he's done some tremendous work with Embiid. He teaches functional moves and gets him to believe in them.

Yeah if you look at it Hanlen has been successful with a lot of players in the league who are really hitting their stride.

Jayson Tatum
Bradley Beal
Joel Embiid
Kelly Oubre (I know this season has not been great)
Jordan Clarkson
Zach Lavine

If anyone could have fixed Fultz it would have been him. Shows you how far gone Markelle was. I also think a lot of it had to to with Kelle's attitude.

Guys like Drew Hanlen would either be assistant coaches or head coaches in the league 5-10 years from now.

The other day i heard MJ loved Olajuwon game because it was very similar to him.

Biid is really looking like the next Olajuwon.

That shot he hit last night will be amongst his all time highlight reels.

Embiid currently has the highest PER of all time and is having, by almost any measure, the greatest scoring season by a center of all time - non-Wilt division.

Playing at superstar level

I couldn't believe it when I checked his BR page this morning. 32.3! Holy ****.

His style of play has to be my favorite of all time. The combination of strength and finesse is poetry to watch. Cannot believe he’s a sixer

The insane thing is this might not be the peak. He could be a better passer, the handle could be tighter, his fitness can improve. We might be at the beginning of something absolutely nuts. I can't believe this dude, that was like a tall tale or a myth we told ourselves during the process, is legitimately having one of the 10 best seasons in the history of the game.

I watched Olajuwon's entire career. Embiid is more skilled Offensively than Olajuwon.

Olajuwon is significantly better Defensively and a better athlete. But there is no big man in the last 35 years, more skilled than Embiid.

And the players around him could still be better, or further optimized towards his skillsets. Like most of everything he gets is off of pure skill alone. Year five and he's still never played with a dominant point guard to just exploit a two-man game with. Teams could barely handle him combining with JJ Redick...
