Don't tell the Jokic stans.

Apparently hes the best player in the league and cannot be questioned.

We need an Embiid hot take thread when the 76ers basically dogged a game for an entire half against the worst team in the league.

unlike Jokic, who I love, Embiid actually plays solid defense. He's clearly the league's best center

When people constantly have to make threads on Embiid being the best big man in the league, it tells you everything.

I really hope I never read a post of yours bitching about how the General Board is unreadable, how there are too many threads talking about this or that, or how Jokic/Giannis/KD/LeBron/Curry stans ruin the RealGM experience.

You opened a thread to say something that's been said a million times by other posters, but without giving any insight, any data, any reasoning behind your "opinion". You said it last, and you said it worst. Congrats, I guess?

You should have started the thread with "Dear diary", and saved your wisdom pearl to your notepad file instead of hitting submit.

He is very impressive and a clear 2nd best. No shame in that. Jokic to me is better. I can understand the viewpoint of those who would favor Embiid - due to his ability to be a defensive anchor. But I don't think it offsets the edge the Jokic provides on offense. He is a Point Center basically and one of the best passers I've ever seen.

Big deal. Nice dunk. He's still Kyle Kuzma.

That's a fun statistic. Good for him, although it doesn't relate to my post which you quoted.

Joel made Bamba foul out earlier in the fourth

And at least 4 of the 3s Bamba hit were with Embiid on the bench, by design or because he was benched in the second with 3 fouls.
