Sounds like something he'd say. The guy's a good player but yeah he's not the best player in the world.

I am sorry.

It doesn’t take a genius to determine they are using Simmons incorrectly.

They need to run more pick and roll and get Simmons downhill where he can use his gifts.

Which puts Embiid where, unless involved in the PnR? On the perimeter, where he's not at his best. It's an awkward fit with those two, especially when you don't have 3 other shooters on the court to spread the defense.

To me to be the best player in the world...you have to be the best player for more than one season. Sorry, Joel...you haven't done this for one quarter of a season or even half of a season, let alone one or two full seasons.

He isn't even the best big man but a lot of players think this but don't actually say it. He's never lacked confidence so not surprising. At least be in the top 5 to make this statement though imo.

Two injured players are better than Joel right now: KD and Steph.

Then you have:

Giannis
Kawhi
Lebron
Dame
Harden
AD - best "big man" in the NBA

SO that would put him at 9 at best and I really don't know how he could have even an argument to be better than those 9 considering he is injury prone and they are more proven.
