I do feel bad for him on a human level. On a basketball level, I can't think of a player who's been more celebrated for accomplishing less. Or even equally celebrated for accomplishing equal.

Was he not one of the best 3 players in the league for a several year stretch? 3x all defense, 2 scoring titles. On a basketball level, Embiid stands in rarefied air. I think he'll have a Chris Paul legacy where his greatness is overshadowed by his injuries.

Can you think of a player who's been more celebrated for accomplishing less? Chris Paul absolutely does not qualify.
