Joel Embiid is currently averaging the most points per minute in a season in NBA history.

1.05 - Joel Embiid (2023-24)
1.04 - Wilt Chamberlain (1961-62)


Already #1 all-time in points per minute for his career (3rd all time in PPG overall).

If he don’t win a ring this season. It’s over.

if Philly goes out to Milwaukee... man Embiid is going to be exposed under a microscope

Doc Rivers gets a lot of flack for a lack of results in Philly. Simmons is assigned the primary blame for now, that could pivot into Embiid being a fraud MVP

I would be utterly devastated

I mean Giannis would be a great litmus test for Embiid because he only knows 1 gear, going 100% all the time and constantly attacking the rim

if Embiid wants to shed the image that his conditioning is trash, the best way to prove that would be to go toe to toe with Giannis and come out on top

also a great defensive series for Embiid against Giannis could set him up for a DPOY award, playoff success does tend to have spillage onto the next seasons awards

You love to act like Embiids conditioning is just the absolute worst or something lol.

It's not 2020 anymore.

People aren’t currently talking about Embiid missing out on b2b MVP for games missed now or what?

Yeah not enough games played for mvp or scoring title.

MVP gotta be deserving!! 65 games a season minimum

It’s an interesting matchup for sure

Now you're talking injuries
