Embiid has thoughts on your criticism of his playoff career.

[John8204]

Yep, he's definitely better than Shaq.

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 would not even compare Embiid to Shaq. There is a big difference between stat 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.

I think we would be talking about it being Kobe team and not Embiid. Whereas it was vice versa.

The 2019 Sixers were loaded way past that. Yall had prime peak Jimmy Butler. Who led the Sixers in scoring by a lot vs Toronto. Embiid had the worst shooting % of the entire starting lineup and they lost by an inch.

Thats on your boy. Simmons wasnt 2nd option. Jimmy Butler was. And hes proven to be a batman level player in the playoffs big time.

Simmons-Reddick-Butler-Harris-Embiid (2019) was, statistically speaking, the best starting lineup in the NBA. Terrible spacing/three-point shooting was compensated for with elite defense, rebounding, and foul-drawing.

Regular season:
- 161 minutes
- 121.9 ORtg; 102.5 DRtg; +19.4 NRtg

Playoffs:
- 173 minutes (5th)
- 115.0 ORtg; 90.3 DRtg; +24.7 NRtg

That team played together for less than a season and lost on a buzzer beater in game 7 on a the road to a higher seed.
