Star basketball player thinks he's the best player in the NBA!

In other news, it has been determined that water is in fact, wet.

Someone with artistic photoshop ability needs to give this photo a Philly feel.

Embiid is almost as frustrating at LeBron James. So much potential that if he had an ounce of aggressive and killer instinct he would be near impossible to stop. Too big for really anyone to guard him, too athletic for a true C to guard him. Too strong and big for a PF to guard him. Certainly too big for a SF to guard him.

He's a matchup nightmare, but he walks around out there like he's lazy. Dude should be putting up 35/20 on a nightly basis.

He must have been wearing Beats by Dre during the first half when the arena full of Sixer fans were booing him.

I think part of Joel Embiid not fulfilling his full potential yet is due to the coaching. He's not being utilized correctly by Brett Brown. I think if Philly doesn't make the ECF, or even if they do and have a poor showing Brown is gone. They need an x's and o's coach now. If I were the 76ers I'd throw a lot at Ty Lue to get him to come over. His championship experience, him being a former player, I think he'd be able to help potentially push them over the top.

In fairness I think they were booing the entire team and not so much him. When you miss 20 straight shots, fans get agitated.

He’d have a better claim if he could a)stay healthy and b)show up motivated for every game

Brown is gone for sure if they don't make the ECF and there is a very good chance if they don't make the finals.

Not sure if Lue is the right guy to replace him, though.
