Lillard?
Nah, he's a beast all but he doesn't impact the game the way Embiid does. He's an offensive stud, yes, but defensively what type of game changing effect is he having? Embiid changes the game...on BOTH ends of the floor at the absolute highest level. He's not only playing half the game at a high level. You want to talk about this season? Look at how shit the Trailblazers are, regardless of Lillard's individual production he just doesn't dominate a game from all aspects and his team is still ass. Embiid as a fucking rookie turned the NBA's worst defense into the #1 defense when he was on the floor, he single handedly anchored the defense (literally).
Let's not forget that only three players in the NBA last season scored more than Embiid (#4 in PPG) and only one player rebounded more than him (#2 in RPG). Let's also not forget that he has been a legit top 3 DPOY candidate in voting each of the past two seasons (#2 in 2018).
There are really only two or three players that are clear cut picks over Embiid to build around in the NBA: LeBron, Giannias, Kawhi. Then there's KD (assuming he's healthy). AD is Embiid's bitch and gets daddy dicked in matchups (AD can't even defend Embiid), nn to talk to me about him when Embiid does everything he does except Embiid is a hell of a lot bigger and stronger while in the same range of athleticism. Also not putting Harden up there, because Embiid gets to the free throw line almost just as much without flopping rofl.
Small guards that can't play a high level of defense, no thanks. Offensive specialists, but not complete dominant players. Also, Steph Curry would just get exposed for his relatively mediocre NBA level athleticism on a bad team without a bunch of other players to take the pressure off him. Kinda like we saw in the Finals and this season before he got hurt.
The pot has been stirred. Welcome to the party boys!
Bro, Damian Lillard this year is INSANE, him and Embiid are interchangable but I also provided 7-8 other players that are also better than Embiid. I still have Embiid in my top 10, so I dont need you diatribe about him, but hes legitly not better than the afformentioned players..
As you stated Lebron Giannis and Kiwi are all better than him. I am going to ignore your idiotic reasons as to why you think AD & Harden are not better than Embiid even though statistically you know for a FACT they are.. Luka is also better, thats 6, KD is better when healthy as you stated, thats 7, then Curry at 8, Embiid squeeks in at 9 and barely. Because to me I would clearly put Damian Lillard at 9 and Embiid at 10..
Im going to ignore your blatant disrespect on Curry which doesnt even make sense about "taking the pressure off of him," with Players around him because CURRY is the one with the gravity that allows others to play better; as exemplified by his on/off court numbers and +/-... His back to back MVP, one unanimous is not up for discussion, he is.. legendary...
Your lucky im giving you any props for Embiid tbh..
Regardless, you are just sitting here trying to defend your boy, which I get, & I'm glad you dropped the Siakam argument, because he is NOT top 15 let alone top 20...
