    I wouldn't say definately but he is ranked ahead of Shaq in more categories than you would care to acknowledge.

    Shaq is 31st in PPG, Joel is 4th
    Shaq is 72nd in Shooting percentage, Joel is 19th

    Though that has more to a generation of fanboys who are to caught up in their own childhood to see Shaq for what he really was.

    But it's okay I forgive you for being so emotional about this.

    Shaq won 3 straight rings in 4 finals appearances. That’s a category Embiid can’t talk about. I will say Embiid has played through injuries where many don’t realize or acknowledge it. That said stop crying and show up when it matters most? Like getting the Sixers past rd 2 for once

    Anyone worth any sense that saw both of their careers Willem even compare Embiid to Shaq. There is a big difference between statuary dominance and real dominance. Shaq would not be getting stopped in the playoffs by Al Horford. Shaq is an all-time great. Embiid is not.

    Fair assement.

    But give Shaq Ben Simmons and give Embiid Kobe and the conversation would be much different.
