This is one of those arbitrary stats that if we went looking, we could find a similarly obscure stat to say otherwise. There are people who believe the world is flat, despite undeniable proof to the contrary because there is always an echo chamber to confirm your delusions. That includes propping up Embiid with this nonsense stat you think is some "gotcha"
What I mean to say is that this one stat vs. countless others that show he is a loser is not the strong statement or vote of confidence you are thinking, especially when you consider that Butler by himself carried the Heat to two final appearances and Embiid hasn't been able to make one conference final.
Alternatively, we could also say this happens because Embiid has a **** attitude and he and his team fold in the clutch due to his toxicity. Under any pressure, Embiid crumbles and begins to either get aggressive or act like a baby, crying, pouting, and complaining. His victim mindset is shameful. Personally, he needs to take accountability, take it upon himself to get better, and persevere under any circumstance.
The crazy thing is that he can still come back from this. He now has the best set of #2 and #3 arguably any player has ever had in history. Hopefully, he matures and doesn't mess this up for himself. A ring or 2 could possibly mean Top 12-15 all time. Floundering yet again would not be surprising, and not taking accountability for it would also not be a shock.
