Not trolling, staying the obvious.
Embiid is absolutely more talented. He has a face up game, better foot work, more moves and he can score outside of just power dunking at the rim. He's also a solid defender against smaller players on the perimeter, an area where Shaq stood no chance (Shaq was the absolute worst pick and roll defender ever).
The issue is Embiid isn't putting that talent to full use. He has several more gears he can reach which sucks to watch. It starts with his physical conditioning and mental mind set, he's not the dog that Shaq was who made a living out of murdering dudes in the paint without having second thoughts.
The game is a lot different now though.
Then explain why that fool was gassed within the first 5 minutes of 1Q. Dude was throwing bricks the entire series. Overrated. I'll take a center like Shaq or in today's game Jokic over him every day of the week and thrice on Sunday.
