I would bet maybe 20-30 bucks on that Thunder/Lakers parlay.

I really want that dinner the wife promised but she's asleep.....normally I would just wake her up.....

But, she has COVID so she needs her rest.

I like Miami tonight.

 

[trojanfan12]

I mean cmon.

Looking at accolades only without any context?

Sure.

But only because Embiid failed to get first team All NBA twice in a row while being the second most valuable player in the league.

Embiid plays at this level for 2 more years after this one and his resume will be significantly stronger.

Ben Wallace is a 4x Defensive Player of the Year winner and 5x 1st team All Defensive player. How many of either does Embiid have?

None.

How many times did Ben Wallace finish 2nd in MVP voting?

Being that close to MVP trumps anything on Wallace’s resume.

No it doesn't.

lol

No it doesn't.

Are you saying DPOY is a bigger award than MVP? If that is the case then would say Gobert got a better HOF argument currently than Embiid?

Poole trying to win this game by himself.

No, I'm saying it's bigger than not winning MVP.

Why do you post like a 15 year old girl?

Your reasoning is ridiculous but yeah keep going to that lame ass line anytime i ask a valid question

It really isn’t though.

Almost winning MVP makes Embiid a superstar.

Wallace wasn’t close to that level.

HOF is about more than a list of accolades.

Wallace had a great career and is deserving. But not more so than any legit superstar.

Embiid damn sure isnt going to have to go into the hof on one side of the ball, that’s what makes it a not great comparison.

 

[bksballer89]

Since you think winning DPOY is better than 2nd place in MVP voting than explain to me how Rudy doesn't have a better argument for HOF currently than Embiid?

He is a 3X DPOY, 3X AS, 4X All NBA team (1x 2nd team & 3x 3rd team), and 6X All defensive First team

Also he had a lot of international success than Embiid.

If you think winning DPOY is better than 2nd place MVP than Gobert clearly is closer to the HOF than Embiid currently

You didn't ask a valid question. You asked if I was saying if DPOY is bigger than MVP when Embiid has never won MVP and I never said winning DPOY was bigger.

That's what you do when someone posts something you don't like. You get dramatic and try to claim something was said that wasn't.

Just like a 15 year old girl.

Almost winning isn't what the standard should be.

Memphis has the 2nd best record since Christmas.

Be a huge win if the Lakers can win.

Sometimes Clyde just says something that so f n funny and no one laughs at it…

Randle hurls up a 3, comes nowhere near the basket , hartenstein happens to be in right place and puts ball in hoop, Clyde says ‘hartenstein in right place to catch the UFO.

Thunder playing to get even with the world tonight
