If you have every player take 50mg of ketamine before the game I think he would be one of the best performing guys out there not even joking

Players who would look better relative to the other ketted out guys: Embiid, Kyle Anderson (so slow they can’t process it), klay (shot so pure no amount of drugs in the world could dilute it), Vit Krejci (I was offered ket for free 3 times in the 4 days in Prague when I was a teen going clubbing, I’m certain he’s built up a tolerance), LeBron James (maybe he will forget he is 40 and has sciatica?) , Chet and KD I feel like they have played 30% of their career whilst high and they could probably adjust pretty easily, tre mann (I just get the impression he would do well)

Guys who will get worse under the influence of ketamine relative to others: Lu Dort (football tackling other players doesn’t have the same effect when you travel at 0.5mph), Steph curry (I struggle to see him zipping around screens and I just don’t get the sense he would cope well), Yuki kawamura (I’m sorry but he is just so small 50mg will incapacitate him), Gobert (I think he would just lose any defensive capabilities, I can’t see him being able to function), Ayton (imagine the laziest guy in the league getting MORE lazy. The ultimate cone would be Deandre Ayton with Ket)

I want to agree but I feel like AD would be the type of guy on ket to get his vision blocked by his own dreads for 0.2 seconds and think he has to call his optician. I don’t think any amount of ketamine can save him

maxey can no longer dribble and can only pass or shoot from stationary positions. Hes having a good time though.

Valid. GOAT 3 level scoring center and first team caliber defense. Not a bad passer either. Basically a flawless player outside of durability.

BigTippy | 76ers

Yeah pretty much, any perceived knocks are largely issues related to injuries and conditioning and the constant cycle of getting back into gear. A truly excellent two way modern day center. Guys had a hell of a career for someone who didn’t even play a game for the first two years in the league. It’s a shame he’s had to play in some many postseasons at sub par health.

He was actually getting better and better.

Respect. For a player that missed his first two full years due to a foot fracture, it’s remarkable that has had this career. Sure, injuries have still plagued him - but it’s still a high level of success considering the fact some people questioned if he would ever play meaningful NBA basketball.

This production coming from a heavily nerfed Embiid is crazy. Obviously not the same player but this version of him is still one of the top players in the league

Him and Jokic being elite together is amazing for business. Never felt the same since he went down glad he’s back

Ancient_Response_787

Been watching him very close for 7 straight games now. Hes an mvp caliber player still, he’s smart on defense even with his limitation.

I know Embiid has his flopping history which ppl hate, but I hope it’s not a controversial opinion to say I’m really happy for him. I’ve always rated him quite highly and really don’t like when ppl tag his MVP as ‘fraudulent’. In his prime he could literally do anything on the court, easily one of the top players in the league. Hope he gets a good playoff series this year.

I don’t think GMs would be lining up to trade for Embiid. His knees are ticking time bombs & he’s owed $60M/year. He’s worth more to Philly than he is to any other team - they’re just gotta ride him until his knees give out completely.

If maxey is the best player on this team we don’t even get past the play in, so I hope not

His issue was always staying healthy, there is no doubt about the value he can bring to the team.

I’m glad he’s back and productive, but honestly the refs are inflating these numbers by giving him the most insane whistle I’ve seen. He legit can’t be touched now and it’s gotten worse.

He’s 6th in the NBA in FTA per game (if he qualified). Somehow this guy can now barely move or jump, is the least mobile he’s ever been, but is still averaging more FTA than KAT and Jokic?

I’m not saying he’s not great but he’s pretty impossible for me to watch at this point.
