He might be the best scoring big of all time lmao

They’ve been working on this all year with the resting, slowly ramping him up. Reminds me of what the raptors did with kawhi in 2019

I picked Joel up in my fantasy league after someone else dropped him lmao

Yeah but do you really believe he continues this through the playoffs?

I mean movement wise he clearly isn’t. But the fact that he’s even this good is wild

Against the Kings? Bitch please. Might as well be playing JV teams with the way that organization is run.

Lowe today on his pod was right that it is one of the bigger stories in the NBA

I think my 5-year-old said the same thing to me after his bath.

For the 10-15 healthy games he plays a year, Embiid is a legitimate MVP caliber player

If Embiid stays healthy enough he may be the catalyst for another 2nd round flame out

His Google reviews are flooded with people giving him 5 stars, thanking him for saving the process, and whoever runs the page responds to every one. Our two goats, Jo and Jon.

Is he the LeBron James of orthopedic surgery?

Mf got Embiid and Kawhi playing at near their peak again in 2026

i’m not even a sixers fan and it still made me mad when people tried to spin the narrative into ‘pity MVP’ like this guy wasn’t putting up great two-way performances and the year after wasn’t on pace to have one of the most ridiculous seasons of all time before he got injured

it’s fine to say that you thought someone else (mainly jokic but some people make other arguments) should have gotten it, but acting like it was a charity handout is just absolutely disgusting levels of willful delusion

Another hot take from r/NBA

He should retire or we should trade him for a bag of chips I was told earlier this season

Unwashed, fortunately

not washed obviously but we all know it will end with some injury sooner than later

If Embiid keeps this up, he may even be able to lead the Sixers to another second round loss.

Probably gonna take 16 post season wins for him to ever get his due respect. 

It will never be enough for some, unfortunately

I can’t call him washed with him gradually getting better. I still wonder if he can be a top ten guy again but at this point the washed conversation should be dead. Only real question is the same as always- can we trust him to stay healthy?

around half the games of a regular season (41) and half the games of a sixers postseason (4 to 7)

Don’t think it’s his skills that are washed, it’s his body

Don’t worry, he’ll choke again in the playoffs.

Man we were told he couldn’t even walk. Good for Embiid.

/r/NBA was getting Cheeto dust all over their keyboards just to type “medical retirement” in every Embiid thread.

Embiid looking to pull off a most overrated Hali turnaround.

Should the Sixers dump Embiid’s contract?

They ranked AD over Joel Embiid

His knees were pretty fucked for quite a while.  Im glad to see his health is doing better but that doesnt mean the ringer wasnt right at the time

Edit: ive been informed that “at the time” was today, not the beginning of the season like i assumed.  The ringer does not know ball.

His playmaking left a lot to be desired for years but has really improved.

He can do everything but have good knees and avoid freak face-breaking incidents

Im a huge Embiid guy, sixers lifer and all but for his size he should be a better rebounder, and his decision making is not great for a star, especially compared to MJ, LeBron, etc. All the greats all have a higher motor as well. Purely talking about skill, I agree that he has it all when he’s on top form.

I would argue turnovers are Embiid’s kryptonite (save for his health)

Only thing he lacks is clutch factor but other than that you’re right about eveything else

I think we match up with Knicks surprisingly well. It’s the Cavs (along with the Pistons) I would be worried about.

Depends on if we package vj for giannis or not, idk if morey is just going to let embiid play 80% close to his prime and not go all in again

Remember the name, DR. JONATHAN L. GLASHOW.

If you knew anything about Embiid, it’s that it takes him FOREVER to get back into form. Even this season, the first month was rough. Almost always is at start of the year even when healthy. If we just don’t play him, he’ll be cold in the playoffs. We need him to maintain some consistency without putting himself too much in harm’s way.

We need wins. Its easy to slip into the play-in

They wont even be a playoff team without him. The one game he hasnt played this month they got blown out by the hornets by 40

Obviously, quite a crowd.

Do you even remember where we were last January? I think we have plenty of reason to be excited. Maxey is a superstar, Embiid looks healthy, and VJ has made an immediate impact for us as a rookie.
