Embiid v. Orlando Shaq

[penbeast0]

Has Joel Embiid proved superior to the Orlando version of Shaq?

[Colbinii]

Yeah--quite clearly in my eyes.

[70sFan]

Let's wait if Embiid manages to play a healthy postseason run first...

[LukaTheGOAT]

95 and 96 Shaq was up there for bigman peaks, especially when including PS play. That stretch is a top 10 bigman peak ever probably. I feel as if I would defer to Shaq until further notice.

[IdolW0rm]

Similar levels I feel like. But I'd side with 95 Shaq over Joel.

[SinceGatlingWasARookie]

I miss inside scoring skills from centers so I am grateful that Embiid exists but I think Orlado Shaq was better than Embiid.

Nope not yet when he hasn’t advanced past the 2nd round yet. If the Sixers reach the Finals this year perhaps it’s a comparison.

[ShaqAttac]

Kawhi beat them

[1993Playoffs]

I have 95 Shaq on peak Kobe/Wade level. Don’t think Embiid is there yet

[VDT]

Shaq had more impact in the postseason but it is harder for a center to dominate now.

[Tomtolbert]

Shaq, but Embiid can change that.
