not even the best player on his own team anymore ...I predict he gets jealous of Maxey and jumps ship

the "big man" has 4 rebounds through 29 mins

There is nothing Embid can do that Jokic can't do.
Embid can't stay physically healthy.

Jokic has played in 69 games or more every year of his career. the next time Embid plays in 69 games in a season will be his first time.
Jokic is the better shooter, they both average 11 rebounds per game, and Embid doesn't distribute, Jokic is an assist machine for a center, and the most important thing, Embid has never won a thing except a highly dubious MVP Award.

I don't hate on Embid, don't get me wrong, I hate on the folks who think Embid is the best center in the league, clearly, he is not.

I think the main difference between the two is that Jokic gets where ever he wants via the dribble. Embiid is too tall/ lanky to be able to pull off the spins moves and the dribbling with his head up. Part of the reason Jokic gets so many more assists.
