But if you include the games he missed, he's averaging about 25.

Tonight Embiid had echoes of David Robinson's 71 points on 4/24/94 that was accomplished solely to win the scoring title over Shaq.

Kendrick Perkins talked last year about players stat padding.

This is what it looks like.


Lol! You really do try your absolute hardest to diminish any great thing Embiid does. He made Wemby look like a small child this game. Embiid is the most unstoppable force this season no matter what you say Embiid is having the greatest regular season of the modern era by a wide margin.



It's all in fun, although I thought what happened last year was a travesty.

Embiid is a great player. No doubt about that.
Thank you Nico!

Why is it stat padding when they can’t stop the dude? It’s not likes just chucking shots. They couldn’t stop the man.


Apparently this guy believes any bad team Embiid plays against he’s stat padding. As ridiculous as it sounds this is his point.

Sorry but That’s not how works buddy. And with all the games Embiid has missed he’s still the favorite to win MVP easily. All he needs to do is meet the bare minimum of games to sweep the MVP award.

Can’t disagree. He has to prove it in the POs. I think this is the year

The fact they get 70 from Embiid and still barely put away the Spurs doesn’t fill me with great confidence about their title hopes


To be fair to Philly, IMO they didn't play in a natural way tonight. If they play more balanced they probably wreck the Spurs.
Such a ridiculous comment. I doubt you even watched the game. Just spewing nonsense

Wilt played about 3800 minutes that season.
Embiid never play more than 2300 in a season.

Per 48 is the stupidest stat ever EXCEPT in the case of the man that literally played 48 a night.

Laugh all you want but the voters won’t overlook his PER which sits at an absolutely ridiculous 35.6

Philly didn't even outscore the Spurs when Wemby was in lol
They only outscored the Spurs when Wemby was on the bench. But, sure, small child, why not? :roll:

When have they ever done that in the history of the NBA?

Some of these anti-Embiid arguments are getting downright silly.
