Embiid is a HOF lock homie. You're delusional if you dont think so lmao. But im glad you're now comparing him to the GOAT. 😂

How many MVPs dont make the Hall of Fame? Let alone multiple scoring champs to go along with it?

Embiid's prime production is as good as any center ever. Period.


HOF lock lmao


Guy never got out of the 2nd & never played more then 68 gamea in a szn. Guy will not be remembered.

1) is 68 the magic cutoff? That the irrelevant vtrix HOF requirement you just made up? 😂

2) getting out of the 2nd round doesn't stop you from getting into the HOF. If you don't win a championship how far you make it otherwise is irrelevant. Nobody is celebrating making the conference finals.

3) Embiid had a 6 year stretch where he played 75% of all available games. Including 2 seasons where he played OVER 80% of the games (including his MVP season).

Olympic Gold Medal
MVP
3x scoring champ
7x All-astar
5x All-NBA
3x All-Defense
28 PPG career average (4th best in league history)

If he was done playing basketball today he would get in lol. No question.

If Tracy McGrady made it there's zero question Embiid, who's peak surpassed that of McGrady, is definitely making it. You can't even argue this. Also, McGrady never made it past the second round either (aside from riding the bench on the spurs early in his career).

You sound silly...

He's an American citizen and he has a Gold Medal. This is factual, not just you being pure angry hater. No amount of angry hate from ya can take that away 😭

Also the other things you've mentioned are also irrelevant. Absolutely horrendous argument to counter his HOF career. Just delete and we'll agree this never happened.

Him never winning anything but regular season awards( for which he barely qualified) is irrelevant LOL?

You don't need to win a championship to make the HOF LOL

Championships are team awards. HOF is an individual honor.
