Embiid throws pass off the backboard for a rim-rattling slam - ESPN Video
Joel Embiid tosses a daring pass off the backboard to himself for a thunderous slam dunk.
He's on the way man
He's improving every year which you want to see from young players.Last year they were a 42/40 team, now second best record in the league 30-12.
They're growing up and it's good to see new teams up the top of the league chasing success.
Embid drops 70 on Wemby and crushed the Spurs - made it look easy too. On the same night Towns has 62 taking hero shots all night and loses the game. Know who I’d rather.
Meanwhile the next big thing in Oz basketball- Johnny Furphy top scores with 23 for Kansas in a Big 12 contest with my old favourite the Cincinnati Bearcats. Led the team in rebounds too. Only his 4th or 5th time in the starting five - won’t be sitting on the bench for the rest of the season is my guess. Great name too, eh? Remember it.
NBA players with 70 points and 15+ rebounds in the last 60 years- 1- Joel Embiid (70pts/ 18rebounds)
NBA players with 70 points, 15+ rebounds & 5+ assists ever- 1- Joel Embiid
NBA players with 70 points, 7+ rebounds in under 43 minutes- 1- Joel Embiid (37mins)
Opponents are just openly acknowledging they cant stop him.
Except the Celtics-He needs to drop a big line against them next game i reckon.
I'm sure there is a sponsorship opportunity there somewhere.
He needs to step up in finals games generally. It’s the one glaring weakness in his resume. I still think Philly are one solid third option scorer away from genuinely contending. The Celtic top 7 are awesome.
Yes despite the impressively large haul that really is the only thing stopping Embiid being called a great player now. If he performs at the business end he'll get the kudos he deserves.
Agree. He was a deserved winner of the MVP last year, and should be leading again this year, but while he is no James Harden in the play offs, he wont be the best player in the game until dominates the play offs like Jokic did last year.
Great to see Exum back on court. Must be amazing for him and Green to watch Doncic hoist 73 points. Or maybe not.
Doncic has skills no doubt BUT still a massive whiny sook! blah!
Ben Simmons showed plenty in his long awaited return for the Nets almost netting a triple double from the bench. Obviously plenty to prove but it's a better start than I thought he was capable of after the back injury layoff.
