Joel Embiid is NOT HIM. Period. Full stop.
We can stop laboring under the delusion that this man will ever be the #1 option on an NBA Champion.
You simply cannot shrink in the biggest moments like he does, year after year...no matter the teammates, no matter the coach...this man always finds a way to avoid playoff success...
Almost a quadruple double with turnovers, on 33% shooting tonight...

It sucks that Embiid ruined Jokic's 4 straight MVPs.

Can't blame Embiid for that, he gave his all that regular season - we can blame the certain media members that turned it into a race debate.

Re: Joel Embiid is NOT HIM. Period. Full stop.
One of the biggest gripes against the process back in the day was that you'd never be able to wipe the loser stink off of any great players you managed to draft. They managed to draft two all NBA level talents during that period.
Joel Embiid
Ben Simmons
Is it all a coincidence? Maxey didn't experience the process and he looks like a winner. The most ironic thing about it all is that the process was designed to keep the team out of NBA purgatory.

There's no winning with him. He's too injury prone, he fades in big games too much.
If I was the 76ers, I'd get a haul for him. Maybe flip him out West?

For starters, we need to collectively agree to kill this "he is him" lingo that has popped up because it is incredibly stupid.
Secondly, Embiid is awesome. While he hasn't had his best game from an offensive efficiency standpoint, he is still has a monster stat line and is currently a +12.
Thirdly, Morey is my guy, but not giving Harden his money was incredibly stupid.

Cubbies never fails to disappoint
Maxey said it himself yesterday and it's such an obvious thing when you watch the game... When Embiid gets the ball he gets trapped by 2-3 players without fail. So it's up to the supporting cast to capitalize like Maxey did tonight in incredible fashion. A combination of that and his elite defensive impact results in what is/will always be clear in his stats: the Sixers win when he's on the court. Everything else is just noise.

He's clearly hurt so I'm not docking him for the scoring struggles.
But his decision making and body language is horrible. You can't have him as your leader no matter what.
