What's Eyeatoma's excuse going to be this time?

I hate that this will be bumped when the Nuggets lose in the playoffs.
The Greatest of All Time debate in basketball is essentially who has the greatest basketball resume of the player who has the best highlights instead of who is the best player

doesn't matter, it's done, ain't no one is taking Embiid over Big Yoke and if you do then you just don't understand basic basketball principles

Well I've got bad news for you, next time Embiid has 3 blocks against the Hornets in November we're gonna here the usual suspects waxing lyrical about how "the game is played on both ends." And "something something rim protection.".

Jokic hasn't played this bad even in his playoff loses. Jokic would have to be eliminated in embarrassing fashion for this to look bad. Even then, These first 2 playoffs rounds is still more than Embiid has ever accomplished in the playoffs

Even Embiid fans are now well aware what the standing is now. Dont think you'll get any push from Embiid fans until he has a great playoff run

Embiid is playing thru an injury. His movement mobility is quicker springier during the season before his injury.

Embiid being injured in the POs is already priced in - we know

One won duel in mid season is not an indicator which player is better.

Everyone knows this flopping jackass (Embiid) NEVER plays when he has even the SLIGHTEST injury. Hell, he's missed almost as many games as he's played in his entire career.

Embiid got wrecked on the perimeter tonight too. Just a giant L for all the arguments. It's joever.

If Jokic were clearly better we wouldn't need an overreaction thread in the middle of a blow out.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

One of the biggest fraud MVPs in history.

Everyone outside of Sixers fans know why he “won” MVP.

While I do like Embiid, I never thought he was better, or felt like he deserved the MVP. I would to see Philly make it to the Finals but they're not ready for the challenge.
