Jokic would have moved out of the way.



or if he dunked on Jokic, the jokic brothers would of clothes-lined kuzma as he unknowingly trotted back down court smiling.

Because of a single game against the worst team in the league where he scored points at an incredibly fast rate?
Nope, he is per 36 one of the greatest scorers of all time.

THE greatest, I believe.

I believe Embiid, for his career, is at 0.81 points per 36, which is ahead of the #2 player - Michael Jordan - at 0.79 points per 36.

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Eh the bubble playoffs were the ultimate asterisk. Not to mention Murray going nuclear and playing way beyond how he normally plays in the regular season.

Solely based on his seasons with Chicago - Jordan has the higher scoring per 36min.
If you take his two seasons with washington into account - Embiid is the leader.

Same goes for other players (Wilt Chamberlain with Phillie).

For the sake of argument we’ll call Giannis a PF.

I think it’s really close between Embiid and Jokic.

If I were building a franchise today, I’d take Jokic. Younger and more versatile.

However right now for a 7 game series, would be hard to pass on Joel. Dudes a monster.
Go Raps!!

Remember how people keep saying the big man is dead. Jokic, Embiid, Giannis may be the three best players in the NBA.

Game is still going but right now Jokic has 49, 14, and 9 against the Clippers. No sweat for the Serbian Prince

The game winning shot was Jokic's assist. And that's what he does best. Triple double - 49 - 14-10

Its close, Embiid edges him on defense. Jokic edges him on offense. Long term wise I'd take Jokic just because he doesn't have the injury history Embiid does.
