Since the ABA/NBA merger anyway.

Just overtook Moses Malone and Russ who both did it in their MVP seasons.

Too bad he won't win his own MVP this year. Phenomenal season tho.

Good for him. I don't understand the hate he gets. He's definitely one of the best.

Lol really? Considering your hate of Lebron, I thought you'd hate Embiid even more.

Also currently tied for biggest cryer after early exit playoffs. Will most likely break the record after this season’s playoffs

embiid is the best when he plays trash teams

however he tends to shit his pants when the pressure is on. he's lost nearly every big mvp showdown game this year and got spanked 3 times by Toronto


not my mvp

I really hate non record records. The “If we don’t count the real record” records made for a headline. The thing that makes breaking a record so impressive is how unobtainable they are. When you manufacture them with largely meaningless cutoffs like when the Spurs, Nuggets, Nets, and Pacers joined? Not the 3 point line(years after the merger) or several other major expansions or rule changes. Just some shit used specifically because it removes the people with many of the real records.

There are plenty of records those guys couldn’t set due to era. Blocks. Assists with the tighter rules. 3 point records. Almost anything with totals(less games played regular season and playoffs). We don’t just give it to them anyway. All that said….I ****s with Embiid. He’s nice. Nicer than he should be with his frame:

Fair points. I have been thinking about it and without looking it up I assume the only player in complete NBA history, post and pre merger, that has more 40-10 games in a season must be Wilt. I could be wrong but I can't imagine anyone else is up there.

Looks like Embiid will get the scoring title. He is 36 points up on Giannis with 1 game to play for both.

LeBron isn't even listed among the scoring leaders. :lol

How so? What criticisms that I've made of Lebron apply to Embiid?

Garbage automated reply from a person who doesn’t watch basketball but just looks at box scores and social media memes.

I suppose if Embiid was more of a vocal leader, his assists could improve
