Embiid has played like 82 games in 4 seasons .... literally about 25% of his potential games ....

Let’s wait to see if he plays a full season or even 70 games before crowning him anywhere near Shaq ...


I mean let's get something straight, I never said Embiid is at Shaq's level in terms of overall career achievement and status. Shaq played for a very long time, at a very high level. Longevity goes a long way in evaluating a players career.

Shaq is one of the best big men to ever play in the NBA. Embiid has that kind of potential, and he's impacting todays game in some ways that Shaq never did, but nobody cements themselves that high after just two seasons. We need to see how high Embiid's career goes before that happens.

82 games is too small of a sample size at 30 years old

Dude looks as old as Ibaka

Shut up and stop back peddling like a little bitch. I told you Shaq had a more dominant first 4 seasons in an NBA filled with elite big men compared to today’s NBA and would shit on Embiid and you keep spewing out this BS. Your initial response was that Embiid IS wayyyyyyyyyy more valuable in today’s nba than Shaq would ever be, which is an absolute joke. Now you keep trying to backpeddle and dictate the exact reason, hell we would all have more respect for you if you’d actually stand by your words and believe what you said. FFS in one sentence your talking about Hakeem then the next you talk about how Shaq played against less skilled big men then Embiid. Make up your fucking mind Sean.

Either people are really high on them (Voyaging comes to mind, mostly because of Jokic I imagine) or they think they're a low seed/miss the playoffs.
