I miss prime Embiid

Me too man, but it’s crazy how good he is even right now at like 40 percent of himself.

Even at his peak it felt like he was only playing at like 85% of himself. Which is insane.

30+ points basically guaranteed, swooshing all those free throws, Automatic midrange, still being a presence on the defensive end. It was so good.

Prime Embiid only existed for a brief moment, but was basically the most efficient scorer in the history of modern basketball and also a DPOY-caliber anchor all rolled into one. I’m sad it couldn’t last but I’m glad I witnessed it

Time flies. It’s been 24 years since Iverson said “practice” 22 times in that interview.

Joel Embiid is Greg Oden but with better healthcare and injury management. Great potential but held back by a broken body.

And more skilled. Oden was a pure bruiser. More like Zubac than Embiid.

We are kind of used to how he’s treated, but for someone like VJ who hasn’t been here and probably didn’t even pay attention that closely to it before he got here the way he’s talked about has to be jarring.

Even as a hater, I’ve never thought he didn’t want to play, and I really haven’t seen that out in the media all that much. He’s just both fragile and unlucky with freak injuries that aren’t related to his knees. The closest thing to that criticism I’ve seen is that the flailing and flopping can be risky for both him and those around him, but even that doesn’t relate to not wanting to play or not wanting to try.

VJ Edgecombe: “Media make it seem like he don’t want to play basketball. Like come on, he’s out there in pain, he made a big shot at the end of the game, he barely could raise his right hand up. It’s Joel Embiid, bro. That’s what we talking about right now”
