Why was Joel Embiid picked with the 1st overall pick?

[Mask the Embiid]

Why would someone with an undefeated winning streak risk it by picking Joel embiid 1st? What does that mean? Y’all told me jokic is better? Why do the players always pick joel over him? Every single year? Explain it to me like I’m 5

[Real Men Wear Green]

They picked reserves first. And now you know. Thank me.

Why was Tatum picked first of all starters, since this is such an important thing?

[Mask the Embiid]

Why was Tatum picked first of all starters, since this is such an important thing?

They made the reserves go 1st so jaren wouldn’t feel so bad… we all know he really was the last pick and Joel really was the 1st pick no matter how you try to spin it to cope.


You seen Giannis try to pick ja and they rejected it and said no you can’t pick him….

[Real Men Wear Green]

Jaren? What would I care about Jaren? If you assume that this draft is important to me then Tatum going first among starters and JB going high among reserved would make me happy wouldn't it? Make it make some sense please.

[fourkicks44]

I wish he wasn't playing tbh. I know he doesn't want to be there and I'm pretty sure he has tried to get out of it.

He needs to rest his foot. Philadelphia has the toughest schedule for the remainder of the regular season.

Right right you don’t care yet you posted in this thread instantly after it was made :oldlol: un huh wink wink

Joel got picked ova ya boy….deal with it! This ain’t a bunch of nerds with tape over their glasses talking about bu bu but vorp picking the teams.the players showed you who they think is truly the better player


For once it’s not politics is actually about the game and we seen where everyone was truly ranked by their actual peers who play the game every day…

[Real Men Wear Green]

So I know that you aren't that intelligent but surely you can understand that they were drafting the reserves first? Or if you can't please tell your caretaker that you're staying up too late.

And I don’t know what you don’t seem to get that the starters were not allowed to be picked… you really think anyone sane would take Jalen brown over ja

[Wardell Curry]

And I donÂ’t know what you donÂ’t seem to get that the starters were not allowed to be pickedÂ… you really think anyone sane would take Jalen brown over ja

Jaylen Brown is a better player than Ja Morant.

So now it's about "Jalen brown?" What happened to Jaren? Big Jaren fan here apparently.

[Mask the Embiid]

Jaylen Brown is a better player than Ja Morant.
Imagine actually believing this

[Airupthere]

Because KD and curry werent there

1st pick in a meaningless draft or 3 straight MVP's?

[Mask the Embiid]

1st pick in a meaningless draft or 3 straight MVP's?

Well good thing for toody he’ll never have to worry about picking between the two. And I mean NEVER

[tontoz]

Didn't embiid say he has been playing hurt for weeks? Why is he playing?

[fourkicks44]

Didn't embiid say he has been playing hurt for weeks? Why is he playing?

I think there was external pressure that he had an obligation to play.

He made it pretty clear he himself didn't want to.

You know embiid fans are getting desperate when they resort to all star picks.

[SouBeachTalents]

OP's entire gimmick is just to be insufferably obnoxious, what a fakkit :lol

He played 28 minutes. Strange situation

[Mask the Embiid]

Ok fine! I’ll just go back to the head 2 head match up dominations by embiid. Is that ok? His peers picking him over him every year is just too desperate. I’ll just stick to head to head match ups like when embiid kicked his ass earlier this season.

2023 NBA All-Star Game dubbed 'worst basketball game ever played' by Nuggets coach Michael Malone


"It's an honor to be here. It's an honor to be a part of a great weekend, great players. But that is the worst basketball game ever played," Malone said after the All-Star game.

"I don't know if you can fix it. I give Joel Embiid, Kyrie Irving -- those guys were like, competing. Joel was imploring some of the guys to play harder, to try to get some defense in.

[Mask the Embiid]

Bu bu but y’all just said it’s an exhibition game…. Now we got people in here bragging about embiid losing as the 1st pick and Tatum getting an mvp :oldlol:. You can’t make this up. The same thing happened when embiid kicked jokic’s ass head to head. All of a sudden h2h match ups “don’t mean anything” :roll::oldlol:

[Mask the Embiid]

How did picking Embiid work out for him? Asking for a friend. :lol

Yes yes we know it’s the guys fault who scored 32 points and actually put forth effort on defense’s fault. we know… we know:….same way it’s Reggie bullocks fault when he’s the 5th options on the mavs. It’s his fault when the mavs lose!

Yup that is fine. And yes using the all star game is desperate.

[NugzFan]

I can’t tell if it’s a coincidence or fans just take the personality of their favorite players, but it’s funny how much embiid and his fans care about mvp while the nuggets fans are just like jokic. We don’t care at all.

When did I ever say he shouldn’t be mvp. He deserved it this year and last. He shouldn’t of been mvp his 1st that’s all but who gives a shit about mvp. I’m saying he’s better than jokic period…..the Same way I said Lebron is better than Derrick rose period in his mvp year. Idgaf about “vorp” or “raptor” or any other advance analytic.I see them play and I can just see it….it’s obvious. You don’t see me saying embiid is better than steph because he’s not. He is better than jokic….it’s obvious.

[Axe]

Let him get past the semifinals first if he wants more recognition. :lol

[Mask the Embiid]

He is already recognized as one of the best players in the game but uhhh ok

[Axe]

Tatum made it first over giannis what?

I saw that before your immediate edit. :biggums:

Also, i was talking about your hero when i said that. Not joker himself.

[Spuddywebby]

I think subconsciously they realize that he will never lead a team to a conference finals (forget a chip) and have relegated to blaming his teammates/coaches the last few seasons and highlighting things like this all star game thing and him scoring 50 points against that defensive stalwart Kelly Olynyk.

Steph doesn't play enough games.

[Mask the Embiid]

That’s your opinion.

Well hopefully they meet in a playoff series this year. So the world can finally see the truth. Cause I know what’s gonna happen when they meet. I don’t think, I know……. the same way I’m sure hakeem fans knew what was gonna happen when Hakeem finally got David robinson locked in a series. Where he couldn’t run or hide or get away. His fans/ Hakeem haters couldnt deny it anymore and finally had to face reality.Cant wait…..cant…… wait……… kind of like what kawhi did to Luka the 2nd time they played in a series(outside of the bubble)….when they ran out of excuses for luka cause he was actually up in the series. Then kawhi showed everyone who is actually better when he turned it to another gear on both ends.

[Axe]

Hard to see the sixers going to the finals at this rate.

[tontoz]

Steph has 8 seasons missing fewer than 10 games. Embiid has none.

Hard to see the nuggets getting there too but ya neva know

I can genuinely see Jimmy Butler showing them up in the 1st round this year

I was trying to make a sarcastic joke, that playing more games was more important than actual oncourt performance.

Which as your comment highlights, you and everyone is well aware how that twists into narratives about Joel Embiid's career.

I wasn't trying to take a shot at your boy, the opposite in fact.

As far as winning MVP goes, missed games are a big factor. Awhile back I looked at past winners and if I remember right no winner missed more than a dozen games for the past 20 years. I think only 2 guys missed 10.

I think Mask's point is that the MVP isn't an indicator of who the best player is.

Steph had his injury problems last year but come back in to win the chip, Finals MVP and take Jokers' lunch money in the process.

Mask still thinks Embiid was picked first because he's more valuable than any starter. Mask is an idiot.
