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.
More IF IF IF
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. 💯
