    Peak Embiid (now) or Peak Olajuwon -- who you got?

    Dream all day everyday. Its so much easier to score in modern NBA. Dream would easily avg 30 plus with insane all around stats. Also, imagine the freedom he’d have to operate from the perimeter and shooting more threes.

    Translation: one day, Wemby may break into 100 pieces, if they ask him to guard me again.

    Eligibility for awards. He already has the super max contract.

    I think that rule certain amount of games played available for awards is stupid I can see both side to it tho, but imo it puts more pressure on players to come back quicker from injury. I think this targets like kahawi Leonard and his “load management”

    The players were messing with NBA's money sitting out nationally televised games.

    Embiid is just obsessed with winning another MVP to match Jokic's back to back that he was willing to gamble his knee for the award. Should have kept his eye on the real prize to put him on par with Jokic.
