You have it backwards. Embiid's teammates are more valuable than Jokic' this season.


You have it backwards, that's exactly what the poster was saying when he said Jokic does it with less.


You're right. My fault; I quoted the wrong post. I confused his post with one of the several Embiid Trolls/Stans/Spammers here. :lol:

I don't know I think a certain finals MVP has a strong claim to that title. Before someone brings up semantics by saying Giannis isn't a big. Let me just ask you one question. Really? Seriously, what makes him less of big. the meaningless position he is listed as being PF? He is in fact closer to traditional center than either Embiid or Jokic. His dominance on offense in the paint is closer to Shaq or Kareem. Jokic dominates through otherworldly basketball iq. Embiid relies more on his jumper. Neither of these things are traditional Big skills. So taking Giannis out of the discussion due to not being a big is silly.

It's all quite funny. People wanna say big rather than center and then not only want to only include centers but also not centers who have good handles. It's almost like they are desperately trying to exclude a superior player.
