More complete than Joker.

Embiid plays defense at an elite level in addition to being the leagues leading scorer every year.

Jokic is a monster offensively as we know, but defense....not so much.

If I recall, didn't Jokic get swept in the second round his MVP season without Murray? Oh that's right....first round 4-1 one year, and 4-0 sweep in the second round the other.

I don't know why you are projecting? I asked for conference finals.

1. Wilt
2. Jabbar
(Duncan here if we count him as a C)
3. Shaq
4. Olajuwon
5. Russell
6. Jokic
7. Robinson
8. Moses Malone
9. Embiid

21.6 career playoff PER (34th all-time) all while never making it out of the 2nd round yet and entering his 30s this season.

I'd have a hard time arguing Embiid had a better career than David Robinson or Patrick Ewing if he fails to prove he can be effective in the playoffs.

We could only dream of Embiid getting a cupcake walk to a championship like Jokic had last year playing a 7th seed in the conference finals 😫

And then an 8th seed in the Finals. Good lord rofl

Embiid dropped 31/13/4 a game in that series plus played great defense (2 blocks and 1 steal per game to boot). All while being double and triple teamed because Ben Simmons was supposed to be his "co-star" rofl.

Harsh to put much blame on Embiid that series after watching Ben Simmons flat out quit on the team.
