If three through ten are interchangeable then by sheer definition he's a top 10 player not top 3. Lol



In MY list he is top 3, but I recognize arguments for anyone 3-10. But you knew that’s what I meant.


Side note, Curry is top 10.

I guess Shaqs horrible is fucking Embiids best. In their first 4 seasons Shaq has a higher DWS (18 vs 11 for Embiid) & better Defensive Rating than Embiid through his first 4. All while destroying him in just about every other category offensively.


Lmao plz don't compare Embiid and Shaq defensively, that is one battle you won't win.

Embiid can defend anywhere on the floor at a high level for a big man. He has also been top 3 in DPOY voting like 3 times already. His impact defensively is well documented, he's a literal game changer (even if he didn't have as good a season defensively this year as he normally does).

Shaq was an awful p&r defender, and in general he was a weak defender in the post outside of defending back to the basket post ups. He wasn't a great weak side help defender by any means. He even admitted he took a lot of plays off on defense when he wouldn't get the ball on offense....

In no way shape or form would Shaq be a remotely good defender in today's game. He would get destroyed on the regular in todays space and pace game.

It can still be done, dominating inside. Giannis and Simmons are great examples


Simmons and Giannis handle the ball, create their own plays and can also play defense at an elite level against anyone at any position........

Bad comparison lol

Literally the entirety of this post had no stats to back it, just your opinion. The stats say Embiids first 4 years defensively are just not as good as Shaq in Orlando. & that’s not even when he was all defensive teams either.. But we don’t even want to go to the offensive numbers either that’s a massacre. Embiid is nowhere close to shaqs level & never will be lol. Fuck outa here.

Shaq works for television. He has to start shit. It’s part of the program. If there is no drama, then simply create it.
