If anyone was curious, they released their top 10 players today.

Embiid getting screwed a bit coming off a season where he was arguably THE most dominant player in the league. But whatever, it's all subjective and makes for good convo.

Curry way too low. Also way too many white dudes in the top 10.

ESPN has also released their top 100 players list

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/32244615/nbarank-2021-ranking-best-players-2021-22-50-26

Embiid comes in at #7
Simmons comes in at #28, which is quite a drop from last years ranking of #16.

Source says the 76ers are set to hire @katetscott as the new play-by-play announcer, becoming the 2nd full-time female play-by-play voice for a major pro U.S. team. Bucks hired Lisa Byington earlier this month.

Possibly.

They'd have advanced past the Hawks, that's for sure.

People underestimate the defensive impact Simmons had though. He's the guy that held Trae Young to 13-for-30 shooting in game 6, and 5-for-23 shooting in game 7. I think we can all agree Simmons lack of aggressiveness and him checking out in that series not caring anymore was a primary reason for the loss, but there were a lot of other issues on the floor too that get overlooked.



lmao

The core leaders on the 76ers — such as Joel Embiid, Tobias Harris and Matisse Thybulle — and most of the team were set to take a jet to see Simmons before being turned away, sources said. Multiple sources said Simmons didn’t want his teammates, some of whom he considers friends, to make the Philadelphia-to-Los Angeles commute out of courtesy because he won’t change his mind on wanting a trade.

He's being such a brat lmao

This is going to blow up in his face so bad. He's already hated in Philly now, and now opposing fans from around the Country see him acting like a childish entitled punk and he's going to be hated soo much by other fans too.
