Joel Embiid declares himself 'best player in the world'

[trojanfan12]

Well everyone has an opinion.

Feel free to be offended by Embiid's comment.

lol

Yeah, I'm offended.

Someone seems to be a bit triggered by folks not agreeing with his comment.

Not in the least. When you say a guy who was All-NBA 2nd team for the past 2 seasons may not be a Top 15 player, I figure you're just trolling for a response.

Do I think Joel Embiid is the best player in the league? Of course not. Is Joel Embiid one of the best players in the league? Yes and very few people would disagree. Apparently you are one of those few. Like I said, everyone has their own opinion.

I couldn't care less if people think that Joel Embiid is a huge asshole much less whether they are getting their knickers in a bunch because Embiid had the temerity to call himself his best player in the league. One of the things I like about the NBA is that the players talk way more trash than in other leagues where they are muzzled.

I declare myself to be the best player in the world.

If Joel wants to prove himself, he has to beat me.

I got a hoop over my garage. Embiid can show up anytime.

If he doesn't show... it just proves I'm the best by default.

Hey if you move to Philly, you might get your chance..

Nah, Joel gotta come to me.

If he doesn't, he's chicken.

And I'm the best.

You should challenge him on Twitter or Instagram.

Dang, that is a good idea... I gotta get me a twitter or instagram one of these days...

... thus far I've stubbornly held out... I'm already old, I see all that as "newfangled" nonsense.

I immediately thought of 11 without even trying. Pretty sure I could come up with another 4 pretty easily.

Oh, and you didn't just respond to me. You had already come rushing to his rescue before I posted anything.

Depends on your agenda. You can make a good case that he's top 15 or even top 10 (homer). You can also make a case he's not top 15 (hater)

Let's see your list. I would say top 15 not top 10 though

 

[thunderc]

Not as long as buck-Alice is around you're not.

oh damn I stand corrected

 

[broncosmitty]

Least favorite player ever.


Which is saying something since the 6ers don't even matter.

 

[bksballer89]

A. Probably not many outside of the top 5-8.

B. I'm not sure Embiid is a top 15 player.

He is for sure a top 15 player

 

[bksballer89]

Not an Embiid fan but this isn't a story IMO

 

[msgkings322]

Yeah I'd be curious to see trojanfan's list of 15 better players

 

[bksballer89]

I'm having a hard time not putting him in my top 10

 

[bksballer89]

Giannis
Kawhi
Lebron
Steph
Harden
Durant
AD
Dame

Those are the only players I'll rank ahead of Embiid

 

[Taddy Mason]

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

and it worked, as it has damn near every time this year.

Least favorite player ever.

not going to watch the finals this year then?

I'll be watching Milwaukee like the rest of the world.


You think Philly wins a first round series atleast?

 

[jontaejones]

Half the NBA thinks they're the best player in the world...

 

[broncosmitty]

I'm having a hard time not putting him in my top 10

Maybe he'll play 65 games this year.


For the first time.
