"From the time that [coach Doc Rivers] got there, the first thing that he told me was I need to figure out where I want the ball. Obviously, before it was in the post, but like I mentioned in the past, posting up and posting all game long is easy to double," Embiid said why his favorite spot to receive the ball is in the elbow/nail area.

"It's funny when you've got these old guys always talking about posting up, you need to spend time in the pain and all that stuff. You can't win this way anymore. It's not the fricking 90s or 80s like it used to be. So they must not have any basketball IQ," the player concluded.

Said the guy who loses and underachieves in the playoffs every season.

Embiid has no self awareness. It's why he'll never win anything. No MVPs, no rings, no conference titles... nadda.

Back to basket center post ups don't have high PPP compared to other modern plays being run.


It's phased out nearly completely as a result.


Until the day a new Shaq enters the league.

Second-round fodder too.
