The major distraction that didn’t show up and yet Embiid carried his team throughout to still land a top 4 seed? Are we talking about that Ben Simmons?

Yes, the Simmons they were able to use to trade for that Harden guy who was able to give them another 20+ games. Once again, Murray played 0 and MPJ only 9.

I wasn't talking about Simmons at all.

Didn't I already say I mixed up where Embiid & Simmons were drafted? Wait a minute, yes I did. So trying to bring Simmons into this discussion about Jokic & Embiid is just an attempt to change the topic.

I listed the season numbers of Jokic & Embiid but you don't want to talk about that. Nothing else needs to be said.

No matter where he was picked, Maxey was easily the best teammate either had last season.....and the guy played 75 games as opposed to missing most of the season. Kind of matters.

So one guy is a whole roster?!?!? There’s little difference between the two supporting casts.

Got it. Jokic > Embiid because the Nuggets drafted a dude with chronic back issues and the chronic back issues became a problem.

Oh shit! You provided stats? Let me go back and look. I didn’t expect you to vomit stats.

That’s awesome. Dude was clearly checked out on Houston by that time.

You're allergic to a head to head comparison because Jokic is having the better all around season.

And the numbers back that up.

Don’t use the term “all around season” when you’re arguing on behalf of a one way player. Bad look.

Can you find just one other person that has called him a one way player?




His defense has greatly improved. That's just another thing you choose to ignore.

Pointe per game and blocks. All other head to head stats Jokic is better. He's a better shooter, rebounder & miles ahead of him dishing out assists.

The numbers don't lie.

You think it's a "bad look" to go by what the head to head numbers say. Thanks for the laugh and always homer on!

It’s also a bad look to ask for some article to declare what a real basketball fan could see with their own eyes. He’s a subpar defensive player.

Jokic is clearly the better all around player....embiid is the better scorer

Blue print for the play in

So defense doesn’t count. Got it. Better all around player. Half the game doesn’t matter bwahahaha! Screaming A Baller 89

 

[bksballer89]

He's a better passer, better on the glass, and can score as good as Embiid when he feels like so what exactly is funny about that? Yes Embiid is better on defense but I would never take Embiid over Jokic

So you don’t value two way players like you’ve said. And you’re taking out your ass saying Jokic is close to Embiid as a scorer.

For the purposes of this discussion, nope, you don't "got it". But you are a walking contradiction.

Sure I do. Jokic is MVP because he led mongoloids to a 6 seed and home after round 1

Embiid is the better all around player, imo.

Jokic is the better all around OFFENSIVE player.

Embiid- Better scorer, better defender.

Jokic- Better shooter, better passer.
