Embiid vs Giannis 

Post#1 » by wafflzgod » Tue Jan 23, 2024 7:20 pm

What would it take for peak Embiid to surpass peak Giannis (for my money 2022 was his best version)

Do something relevant in the playoffs. I hope this is the time, but I don't have the a lot of faith to be honest.

Wait till the play off starts and Embiid under performs again. At this point I don't care if Embiid doesn't make it to the third round of the play off's at least perform as the superstar that lamestream media claims you to be in the two consecutive play off series, thats how low standards are set for him . He never had the play off moment except of that one crying after he got eliminated against Toronto.

I mean, really, Embiid just needs to get into better shape, and have a bit more mental focus. If he doesn't tire out by playoff time, or wilt in the spotlight, he probably better than Giannis. It's all essentially mental.

He has to make the same jump shots he's making in the regular season or he will look like this yet again. That has nothing to do with the player's condition and its not just this game or the series , its Toronto,Miami,Atlanta etc.

The must watch video. He needs to correct this narrative, he can score 200 points in the regular game , it is meaningless. If mainstream media is crowning Embiid as the best player in the game, than he has to play at least some kind of the finals. He never had the poor supporting cast , so that task should be achievable .If Embiid is the most dominant player in the league (not my claim),that alone should drag the Sixers to the Conference Finals. His game iq in the play off's is very questionable and his skills declines too.
