Embiid alluding to Milwaukee being a "craphole" in an Instagram post by way of the location tag. This should ruffle some feathers.

you guys know he doesnt necessary means the actually location every time? he just types the first thing that pops up to his mind while posting.

^here its "bull$hit land" because the refs swallowed there whistles..

"bbq chicken" at a philly home game. means whiteside

"as$hole central" at philly. means drummond, had an altercation with him in preseason.

so on and so on. maybe its too subtle for some (it is not really xD)

Well, if he's calling Henson a shithole, that's still crossing the line, imo. But 99% of the people who see that location is automatically gonna think Milwaukee

A neat little video.

That video is the first place where I ever heard Hakeem talking about Joel.

Somehow the Sixers need to get Embiid to work with Hakeem. It has to happen!

He was watching the Packers at a bar with Saric last night. I seriously doubt he thinks Milwaukee is a shithole and even if he did I don't think he'd ever say that.

That doesn't even match his personality.

Hakeem offered to work out with him over the summer before his injury was known. I'm sure that offer still stands if Embiid wants to take him up on it.

Hmmm, I don't remember that. Where did you see that?

"Embiid revealed that Hall of Famer Hakeem Olajuwon actually reached out to him unprompted to offer his services as a one-on-one tutor if needed. “I don’t even remember much of what he said,” Embiid said of the call. “I was just so excited to be talking to my idol that I couldn’t focus on anything else. I was just like, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah!’"

Just finished watching the Bucks game.

I very impressed with Giannis this season, but in the bucks game Embiid just outclassed him. Right now, it's tough to project Biid's upside. He keeps getting better every game.

Arsenal · Post #698 » by **Arsenal** » Tue Jan 17, 2017 5:19 am

Embiid is the best prospect in the game now. It's pretty clear. If he stays healthy, he has MVP / Top 10 all-time potential. He is better than Giannis, Porzingis, Towns, and even Anthony Davis. We have no excuse to not build a dynasty around him.

eskimo · Post #699 » by **eskimo** » Tue Jan 17, 2017 6:00 am

Within the last week he "butted heads" with Porzingas and Giannis. I think no neutral party would say that Embiid had the better set of teammates for those games and yet he walked away with the win in both games and was the biggest story in both games. He ignited the late comeback against the Knicks and just shutdown the paint against the Bucks and basically fouled Giannis out. Of course, just about 3 weeks ago he had his re-match against Towns and we beat them on homecourt. Also he had a pretty dominant game against Brow and the Pelicans earlier this year. He also just recently took down Jokic and the Nuggets.

So Embiid has pretty much gone out and beaten all the top young up and coming players in the game and did it with an inferior set of teammates on every occasion. This despite the fact he is coming off a 2-year layoff and is the only rookie of the whole group.

I know Nate Duncan did a podcast when talking about young prospects (age < 23) and he put it
Tier 1: Brow
Tier 2: Towns, Giannis, Porzingas
Tier 3: Embiid

I wonder how it would look like if he did it again? I think a lot of shine has come off of Towns with his defensive deficiencies and the TWolves not stepping up this season. Porzingas has kind of had a mid-season swoon again this year. Maybe Giannis and Embiid occupy Tier 2 now with Towns and Porzingas dropping down to Tier 3.

That's what scares me.
