jokic is really promising and minus millsap theyre a really young team. im not expecting much from them for this next season but i think they have a lot of potential. millsaps an all star. jokic is on his way to become one and the rest of the young heads have plenty of time to grow.

Those two are one of the best 4/5 combos in the game. IT off the bench looking to prove he's worth a big contract. Getting all those bullshit games where they have a team on a back to back in Denver. If Malone can get them to buy in I can see them finishing pretty high.

Shit nvm
Wrong thread

Trash most likely

Lmao Shaq played in an era where big men stuck to the paint and generally couldn't shoot. While that worked then, that would never work now. You really want another ass whooping in this argument yet again?

Also, I've already explained why Embiid is a better fit for today's NBA. You have yet to even argue it with any valid points. While Shaq would still eat in the low post on offense (and brick every free throw in the process), Shaq would be a MASSIVE defensive liability in today's space and pace game, and he would never be able to defend today's guards much like he failed to do in the pick & roll game during his era even when guys played a slower pace game back then. He was not a great defender back then, he would be even worse now.

Today's NBA requires big men to do more than ever. Being big and physical as a low post score and a rim protector isn't enough to be great in today's game. This NBA demands a big man that can face up, space the floor, defend multiple positions, defend the pick and roll, and overall have a more versatile skillset than Shaq had. Today's NBA is faster, more athletic and has 7 footers playing like guards. That simply didn't exist back then.

So yes, it's not crazy to say Embiid is a better fit for today's NBA. Considering Embiid is the ideal center for the modern NBA...

Listen, and understand
DM is out there
He can't be bargained with. He can't be reasoned with. He doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And he absolutely will not stop, ever.

Nothing that i"m saying is that unreasonable, and it would be widely agreed with for anyone that actually watched Shaq and watches Embiid today.

Todays NBA game is very much different, we all know that. This is why it's difficult to compare players from different eras.

This is brilliant.

It occured to me partway through that I completely forgot to add the "half-assed attempt to support claims with facts that I may or may not have fabricated" stage. Too lazy to put it in there 😕
