The Legend of Joel Embiid

he sure didn't seem to lack any fundamental elan as he grooved along the sidelines of yesterday's scrimmage. he looked pretty damn confidant. i think we're OK here, adding talent and savvy to reinforce him in all the right ways.

He should watch jokic play. Balance of threes and post plays. Really frees up slashers (simmons) because of being a threat at perimeter

Jokic should watch Embiid play.

Jokic watching Embiid play is like Jokic watching Da Vinci paint. An amateur can't replicate the work of a prodigy.

I'm curious as to who his companion is. Is it a teammate or a random friend?

Between this and the rockstar entrance from the scrimmage, he is a "Gonna fly now" away from becoming Rocky. This guy is the mayor of Philly.

Joel had to get on the sidewalk to avoid getting crushed by that clown from NJ. I swear if some yellow-plated jackass ran him down, I'd burn the whole Garden State down to the ground myself.

Whats wrong watching how Jokic plays? It never hurts taking some pages out of your competitors book who do better than you at something. Imo Joel should also watch Duncan play

If Embiid can stay healthy for 1 season the mainstream media will be on his nuts in a 180 degree turnaround.

The Honorable Zach Lowe lists us as a top-5 team in his watchability rankings, and his reasoning is basically that Embiid might be the best thing about the whole league:

Exactly. I just think Jokic style on offense is almost ideal for modern C. Nuggets offense looks good on paper with their bigs spacing the floor and has playmaking role, it makes their perimeter players specially Harris become better offensive players.

It's tough to defend high post shooter/playmaker similar like the triangle offense or what Bogut/Draymond's role on offense. Because they're like legal moving screens out there (thats how I see it).

But defensively, no doubt Biid's on another level. He might be the best defensive big in the league.

I hope they don't. Its just boring without people debating stuffs. I don't know but its quite boring being a Warriors fan nowadays. Nobody talks about Wizards or Spurs. Its tough to get attention nowadays

Jokic is becoming so over-rated. If Vlade Divac played today, he'd probably be an MVP candidate in some eyes.

I think that Jokic flared up as a tremendous talent and then people quickly took it too far and projected him as a superstar.

He is an extremely gifted player offensively, but a poor defender. He is someone that Denver can build around though, and one of the good young players in the league.

Ben Simmons made jumper and an Embiid 3? Enjoyable highlight. Also, Embiid blocks the **** out of JJ in another clip.
