People forget how good Dwight was for half a decade.....

Saying that Embiid hasn't been in shape is just not paying attention. Embiid has been in shape the last 3 seasons. Even this past season he was playing strong in the 4th qtr during the regular season. Embiid has changed his diet as well. But he's a big dude and his knee caused him issues. It's funny because when all is going well, they say Embiid looks in great shape. They take an L and all of a sudden he's in bad shape. Shaq wasn't in some crazy excellent shape winning championships, but he didn't make the same moves as Embiid.

I am someone from Philly my whole 51 years of life and I agree...the nation portrayal of Embiid is not correct. Jo was in the best shape of his life last year until the injury happened. It's a tired narrative, just like the Philly fans suck...they threw snowballs at Santa Clause.

Rachel really does have a good understanding of every team. She remembers the small details as if she’s a Philly beat writer

They really don’t. He hired a dietician and they don’t even seem to know that. He just is one of those guys with a body that will not hold up. Plain and simple there just have been guys like that and he is one of them. It is what it is. The problem for him was not that he is not in shape because he is. When you average 33 and 13 against the Knicks in a very tough physical playoff series with only one good knee and half your face is having a stroke but you still are a +46 when you are on the floor. The problem is not you being in shape or not. The problem was having a teammate in Ben Simmons for years and him not wanting to EVER get better and become a great player. And then when you finally get a guy who wants to win(Jimmy Butler). Who you got along great with and came down to a lucky bounce by Kawhi Leonard that hit the rim like four times before it went in. And then after only like 50 something games together your team decides to pay Tobias Harris instead of Jimmy Butler. And then for three next 5 years Tobias Harris proceeds to steal money like the world’s greatest bank robber and never show up in the playoffs to help Embiid. Yea…..THAT and decisions like THAT by his team’s former management have been Joel Embiid’s problem. Thank God for Daryl Morey trying to clean up that absolute mess. Smfh

It's still a big 3. Whether they will be a successful one is yet to be seen

Embiid should have won 3 straight mvps if he didnt get robbed one and if he never got hurt last season

They got to prove it win it matters most

Just like every other big man his size, he struggles with fatigue and injuries. Until kobe, Shaq struggled with being in shape in his late 20s and early 30s. Those Lakers teams with Shaq really whipped him in the shape, and Kobe allowed him to rest. Don't even get me started on the rest of the big men in history and the what if stories. For every big man who reached his potential, there are three more who had injuries ruined their career before it ever gets started You simply aren't supposed to be 7 ft 2 and 300 lb and run around for 40 minutes a night

Dame Dollar making a come back with PG back in the same conference

Embiid's problem is not staying in shape anymore, as he has hired a dietician and seemed to be in great shape the last two seasons to start. It's how he plays the game of basketball. He tries to play like he's 6'6 and also like he's not the superstar all at the sametime. 1. Embiid STOP diving on the floor for loose balls in the regular season. 2. Stop falling all the dam time. 3. Stop bringing the ball up, you're not Jokic. Be you. 50% of the time someone strips him becuz he dribbles high & then he dives on the floor tryin to save face. Luv Embiid but he's so frustrating & he needs to grow up.

You won’t win Embiid as the guy. PG is a good player but similar to Embiid comes up small when it matters most. Unless Maxey turns from a star into a boarderline superstar, it won’t matter in the long run.

They act like maxey doesn’t exist lol dude is better than George now

Or iz Maxey a shut down defender like George: l do give the edge to Maxey,iz Quicker & faster & Better three point shooter but that's about it!

You can get in the best shape eat clean and healthy etc that doesn’t mean you won’t get hurt

PG and Joel's knees will explode by Xmas.

At this point fox should just pay up keys contract and let him go, time to find someone who is actually interested in making good points about multiple sports

He did the right thing staying at uconn 😊LeBron got to much control 😅😂❤

The key move for the Sixers was stealing Caleb Martin. That really adds to the mix and is exactly what they needed with the addition of Paul George. Daryl Morey's best move by far. They should make some real noise in the playoffs.

Embiid maybe in better shape than before. But still he’s not in shape

I’m not convinced 76ers can go far with Paul George. I think they will be good regular season. I think everyone knows what Paul George can do in the regular season but playoffs I’m not convinced the team will go far especially with embid and injuries George and his struggles. Their best chance was 2019 and kawhi destroyed their chances.
