Joel Embiid 70 pts 18 rebs 5 asts vs Spurs 23/24 season 

RETURN OF THE BIG MEN ERA

Free throw merchant

@@robinsonshawqx YES FINALLY

dude the man makes 25+ free throws every game what are you talking about?

@@nikolamilovic2955 70-21 it's still a 49 points that are still a huge number

Bs, wilt didnt get foul calls like embiid. 1st quarter took 36 minutes.

Wilt literally took like a mil free throws a game. Also Free throw rates are down relative to nba history. Particularly Wilts time. Plus. Not even sure Wilt actually played for this franchise.

@@MO-rl9gl ive seen the game yesterday, u cant breath on embiid or its a foul. Ppl were slapping and scratching the shit out of wilt back in those openly racist days.

@@duangc3280I watched the game too. He was legitimately getting fouled all game. No need to disparage him because he doesn’t play in the 60’s

@@MO-rl9gl bs, i watched the 1st half then i went to sleep because i couldnt watch the free throw merchant getting constant foul calls for nothing and was boring to see someone hunt freethrows. Most unimpressive 20 point 1st quarter ever.

His flopping was on fire too. 21 free throws points

@@dramatishgo look up how many free throws every player has taken in their 70 point games for me

@@SlyKPD I did, none of them had 21 free throws pts.

@@dramatishthey shot the same amount if not more free throws than embiid. Embiid is just a better freethrow shooter, hence why he has more free throw points. Even if you take those 21 points away, he still has 49. Not sure what you’re trying to prove

@@dramatishMJ had 21 fts in his 69 pt game. His highest scoring game of his career. Go on…

still historic nonetheless

Cousins was different though wym

@SeddyPooh Hes a different talented stat padder. He isn't on Jokic or Joels level. He played with Rajon Rondo leading the league in assists one year and couldn't even lead a team to a 500. record.

@@SeddyPoohhe was a loser

Well he played in Sacramento, can't really blame him

Cousin would of been one of the best ever too if he never got injured 💯

You are missing out to not appreciate what's going on in the moment. You may never get stuff like this again for decades.

in the playoffs this clown doesn't get free fts

@@ozymandias2630man just scored 70 he’s a pure bucket and yall still find a way to sh1t on a parade. Yall might be miserable irl😂😂

Damn u living in the past Fr bro 😂 let him prove himself this time at least.. bet you he goes further n has a bigger impact.. if his team just learns defense and pass him the ball .. scoring 30 on wembyana and 45 on jokic.. his skill is very much unmatched right now and that's just the reality.. he might rest it take off time but it's obvious he be somewhere working on different areas of his game to make him unguardable unless you triple team him .. n now he got enough shooters to dish it out.. they can completely run the offense through him now

nah fam he's had more 35-40 pt games in the playoffs than sub-20 games, and that's including the fact that he's been playing through injuries every time he got in the playoffs. last season's game 7 against the Celtics and some of those games against the 2019 Raptors were really bad indeed, but plenty of all time great players, including some of your favorite players, have had similar kinds of awful playoff moments. Hakeem barely had any playoff success until he was like 32 yet we all praise him for having the best footwork and best two way impact of centers all time, Wilt fell short against the 60's Celtics Dynasty countless times and won chips when he changed his game to benefit his team. Embiid could also be on a similar trajectory

Olajuwon would play a style similar to Embiid's if he were to play right now. Teams are super quick to pack the paint and double/triple talented big men, so getting faceup plays in the midrange is really important if you want to score as a center. Jokic is also hitting a lot of faceup jumpers and floaters and he doesn't get doubled nearly as much in the post thanks to his vision

​@@0608jeff Yes but Hakeem wasn't as good as Embiid nor Jokic or even Duncan/Garnett when come to face up middys that was more David Robinson

You're kidding, right?

@@paquinraino8180 He has a decent mid-range game and he's waaay superior to those guys you mentioned in terms of post scoring...

Wat dis fool yapping bout😂

40 turnovers? He shot 24/41...with 1 turnover... I'm not following. Did you mean 40 shots in 18 minutes?

@@Anatolij86 40 shots in 18 minutes

@@duskomaramicomp yeah, that's a big quantity but he knocked them down at over 50%...so...pretty good, no?

Go look at the free throws of other 70+ scorers in NBA history

That’s why he improved his mid range so he wouldn’t have to drive and rely on calls when the paint is clogged up in the playoffs I think that mid range is going to be key for his play off run

His mid range has been like this for 2-3 seasons. His playoff struggles are a combination of health and his team's roster construction and coaching being overexposed at that stage of the season. Nick Nurse is the first coach he's had who I don't expect to be overmatched in the postseason, and the floor spacing and tempo is finally balanced due to the on court personnel complimenting his game better. Sometimes "fit" is more valuable than "star power." Harden was up and down as a playoff performer and very ball dominant and slow. The Sixers last season were good but very slow-paced and iso-heavy offensively. In previous seasons, Simmons as a shooter was basically equivalent to Deandre Jordan as a shooter, so he was always a huge square peg next to the post-scorer Embiid. With the emergence of Maxey as a star caliber player, Joel finally has his perfect number 2 scorer. Jimmy Butler could've been that guy but the presence of Simmons was still creating spacing problems offensively so that didn't end up working out in the end. Now Ben and other paint cloggers like Matisse and PJ are out of the picture in Philly. If there's someone on the floor with Joel who teams don't have to defend from 3, they double and triple team him in the playoffs, and no one is able to make them pay for it. This is the same way the Celtics swept the Nets while shutting down Durant ( a similar mid-range style scorer) a couple of seasons ago in the first round. Too much isolation and not enough off ball movement and/or spacing is exposed in the playoffs against defensively creative teams. This should be less of an issue this postseason for Joel due to the aforementioned differences this season , so between that and maintaining his health, he may finally get to exercise some of his longstanding playoff demons.

None. All Superstars who could score a lot of points but can't win in playoffs

@@justmytwocentsdontgetmadthey’ve all made conference finals (outside of embiid)

@@mr2390 That's funny... Even Trae Young has made a Conference Finals. I hope Embiid has a close enough run like Olajuwon in 1986 Finals.

No.2

9

how ironic

Jokic fans share the joy its the Embid fans that get insecure when mentioning Jokic Your the evidence😂

How many rings does Jokic have? How many Embiid?

U cant breath on embiid or its a foul, 1st quarter took 36 minutes. Jokic arms always looks like hes been playing with bears. If jokic gets the fouls that embiid gets then Jokic would win 4 mvp straight.

​@@deeznutz8320bro, im a Denver fan myself but jokic fans toxic asf yesterday, they literally mentioned emflop in a non embiid vid lol.

Embiid is a scorer jokic is not

@@snupedummy Embid is a selfish crybaby, Jokic is not.
