For the record, I believe Jokic is the best player in the league.

Look at how bad the Sixers are without him. They'll be lucky to stay out of the play-in. That's the definition of best player in the league. He raises them to a 60 win team. In the playoffs without injuries, he would do the same.

He’ll lead them to the second round and play like garbage. That’s been Embiid’s ceiling with the Sixers

Talk about delusions of grandeur...

Someone needs to set this guy straight in the playoffs. Yeah yeah, he does it to Embiid every year. He's got a good record in the playoffs, but by no mean is he the best player in the world.

I'd argue the following are all better than him.

Embiid
Jokic
Giannis
Luka
SGA
Steph Curry
Kevin Durant
Jimmy Butler
LeBron James

He is delusional. He would be hard pressed to make even top 10 players list in the league this season.

Tatum should see a shrink. How can he not see Joker, Giannis, Luka, Shai etc. better than him? :crazy:

This thread will get in Tatum's head and lock him up in the playoffs.

This whole thread is just an excuse for eyeatoma to post his own list with Embiid at the top.

I'd be a lot more worried if he was saying "No, I'm really not on that tier, Embiid is so so good, I'm not there yet."

This this this -

Dude needs to think that

If Tatum thinks those guys are better than him while he is coming into his prime with the best record in the league, he should see a sports shrink.

The best of the best should have humility and drive and see themselves sitting on the throne -

Why should he think anyone’s better than him when each of the guys you named think they are the best -

You think Luka think Jokic better - you think Giannis think Jokic better - you think sga thinking anyone better than him -

Kawhi probably think he is second to only mj

So, in the thread about Tatum thinking "he's the best in the league", in more than 10 pages with a lot of people defending him for believing it...........but NONE OF THEM saying he actually is the best in the league. I would be concerned.

Um I think it's fine to take an underdog mentality rather than an "I'm already the best in the league mentality". Like you need to prove it or whatever. I don't know if they kids like Tatum really have that mentallity, even though obviously Tatum is really good at basketball.

And I'm not saying he doesn't or anything, just I don't know that he does. Like the guy who answers interview questions being like I know I'm the best player in the league, its like you're watching it and going "oh ok, but are you?"

When Embiid is finally able to get past the 2nd round (after not losing to Tatum and the Celtics), then you can start laughing at his statements.

Clearly... You have me figured out.

I only posted about him after about 7 pages, but yeah, that was my grand master plan. Have people foaming at the mouth and then drop a list with Embiid at the top. LMFAO.

Nothing gets by you.

He’s literally in the original post where you have him on top of your list which is exactly what the poster said.

Yes you're right but that wasn't the point of the thread and you know it.

I thought he was talking about the CBS tweet I shared later. My bad...

So you have an issue with an ALL NBA first team player saying they’re the best player in the league?

Did you have an issue when Embiid said it in 2020??

Not when he said that. At that point, Embiid hadn’t made a first team all nba and finished 7th in MVP voting.

Kind of makes you a f***ing hypocrite as per usual

I think you have some anger management issues you might want to figure out. Why are you cursing?

Still better than Tatum.
