He would do all them things at an elite level if he were born in todays game

Embiid would not survive in the 90s as he is now with their physicality. So it goes both ways.

Talking about what Shaq was. Any player could be this or could be that. Ben Simmons could be a hall of famer if he cared more. Fact is Shaq's game was very flawed and Embiid is a better more complete offense and defensive player. He will never be as successful as Shaq in the playoffs winning that many championships, but as skill/talent goes he's simply more complete on both ends and there's really no argument there.

Lol @ physicality in the 90's though. Such a delusional boomer point of view. Embiid is bigger, stronger, and a hell of a lot faster than most of those centers. He has better footwork than any of them by lightyears too. Dude would love to just be able to sit in the paint and dominate defending the rim without having to step out and switch. Bigs in the 90's were so limited it's ridiculous. All you had to do was be big and able to rebound and you could have a role. Cement feet centers would get absolutely cooked by the guy who has led the league in scoring for 3 straight seasons now. 💯

But it’s not really IF IF IF when I’m saying Embiid would not survive in the 90s. He’s soft, flops and made of glass. He wouldn’t get nearly the calls he survives on in todays game. It’s the exact comparison you’re making about Shaq if he were in todays game. So don’t IF me again.

He's now apparently soft as you say, but yet he bullies everyone in the league and gets called dirty for being too physical and pushing people around

Make your mind up.😂

Embiid would cook those stone feet big men, ezpz. And he'd thrive being able to throw guys around and play a style that people now call "dirty" aka physical lmao.

Anyways, 90's NBA era was ass. Easily the most overrated ever. It wasnt good defense, it was they couldnt score for shit. You see some of the weak ass white guys that played looking like substitute teachers running? For fucks sake then you have the nerve to say Embiid would struggle in that era? LOL

Late 80's and early 90's were an expansion era for the league. Watered down, limited talent, and nowhere near the global talent found that we see in todays game. The league was weak in comparison and anyone saying otherwise is just a Jordan homer / LeBron hater like Corey lol.
