Nobody ever had him inside the top 10 lol. I wish. He should have reached that point. Top 20, yes. But top 10 is a reach.

Elite defender, nobody ever questioned that. But dude had no offensive game come playoff time....none. zero floor spacing from your Point Guard next to Embiid? Yeah, it was a mess. That series against Atlanta was just some of the worst shit you'll ever see from a "star" player. Guy quit.

bro there is footage to prove it. ESPN had him top 10 in the 2019-2020 season

No he wasnt...

He was ranked 15th in 2019-20....Google it lol

He was never top 10. Maybe top 15, definitely top 20. But never top 10...

what's the bet that I can produce a video of ESPN placing Ben Simmons in the top 10?

ESPN does top 100 rankings every year.

Ben Simmons was 15th in 2019-20. That was probably the best you'd ever see on the ESPN lists.

Showing a video clip of Skip Bayless, who says outlandish shit for views, saying he's top 10 is not the same thing.

It was Stephen A but point taken

Anyways, Embiid has had and does have many guys who are in All-NBA territory yet never goes anywhere. No other MVP guy is like this except Embiid. Giannis and Joker won with pretty weak #2 options

Whaaaaaat????? Giannis won when Middleton went NUTS in the playoffs with clutch shots. One of the most clutch postseasons ever.

And Jamal Murray is weak? Guy put up absurd numbers and was dominant in the playoffs. Jokic would have never sniffed a title if it wasn't for Murray having an MVP type of playoff run lol.

Embiid could only DREAM of having that type of guard production in previous years. At least until Maxey showed up last season he never saw anything remotely close from his 2nd or 3rd best players. Ben Simmons, Tobias Harris, James Harden.....ummm yeah.

how many All-NBA teams have Middleton and Murray made? I'll wait

Those are regular season awards.

Middleton and Murray turned into superstars in the playoffs. They're literally the anti-Simmons and Harden lmao.

Embiid could only DREAM of having a guard play like that in previous years.
