Embiid: “I’m the #1 defensive player right now”

[CelticsElite]

Lol I can’t find the link but he said it.




What do the #1 defensive ranked celtics think about that

[tarheelsxxiii]

Defending his teammates from getting splinters in their bottoms.

I like embiid but I wish he would just let his play do the talking

[PaulAllen]

... and he is only 69% healthy!!

You know, I would love to see the Sixers matched up with Cavaliers in a 1st round playoff series.

They look like a team (w/healthy Embiid, obviously) who could make it REAL tough on the Cavs the way it's constructed.

And they play each other tonight as well. Should be a fun game.

Thinking the same .  Cavs vs Philly playoff round would be sooooooo fun.   Lebron ....if truth be told , would rather play any team than Philly .  Cavs just match up so awful with them.

Disagree.  Embiid's talking is great whether it is on court or off.

It's a preference thing.  If you value humbleness, Embiid is certainly not going to be your guy.  He's is wildly entertaining, though.

Some of it is funny for sure, but saying he is the best defensive player in the league is stupid and disrespectful. I wouldn't like it if Irving said he was the best scorer in the league (even though he could make a better
Argument)

He has some LaVar Ball in him...

Embiid has a strong argument.  With Embiid on court, the Sixers defense rating is 96.6.  With him off court, it is 107.6.  I think Embiid is the best defensive big which arguably makes him the best defensive player.

on/off stats are pretty sketchy sometimes.

I mean the Jazz technically get better defensively when Gobert leaves the floor.

Yeah, as long as he's talking about basketball, I'm all for it. I would love to see more players showing enough pride and and honesty to talk trash and praise their own game.

[Csfan1984]

Embid is one talented clown

Don’t play each other tonight.
