Joel Embiid

shadymcgrady · 01-18-17, 09:27 PM

He's gonna be a stud

lakerboy · 01-18-17, 09:28 PM

Guy is a fukking stud. He might be an injury free Andrew Bynum.

shadymcgrady · 01-18-17, 09:32 PM

He's gonna take off next yr, he'll be mentioned alongside the brow and KAT by this time next yr

shadymcgrady · 01-18-17, 09:33 PM

And boogie

Dirty Sanchez · 01-18-17, 09:36 PM

He and Andrew Wiggins were together at Kansas....makes you wonder how that team didn't win the title. Embiid at Kansas had the rep of being soft and being a baby with his back. Many around these parts are shocked he's developing into the player it seems he's becoming.

Sam Losco · 01-18-17, 09:38 PM

was watching and thinking of betting live, but i couldnt even pull trigger on raps as a pick em live with lots of time left, embiid was putting in work

DroopyDog · 01-18-17, 09:39 PM

he has a contract coming up in 2 years, he will be a beast, get 100 mil, and then be injured for 3 years

Auto Hall of Famer if stays healthy

Embiid got hurt in March and didn't play in the tourney.

Yes. I was there as well.

BigDofBA · 01-18-17, 11:18 PM

I wasn't there but he is a beast. Will easily be a top 5 player in the future.

MoneyLineDawg · 01-18-17, 11:27 PM

Kids a monster

Talent to be better than Brow KAT and Cousins

Embiid missed his first 2 seasons in the NBA because of injuries.

Aren't you conjoined twins together at the wallet. He is a better handicapper than you. Just thought I would troll you. Lakerboy rules twizzler drools!

Out

JIBBBY · 01-20-17, 09:14 PM

Philly has been winning close games lately.. They pull away even in close games.. That team is the most improved in the NBA as far as I'm concerned..

I bet them tonight and they are struggling abit against Portland.. Down a few with 4 minutes to go.. If they pull the win off it will just confirm what I'm saying..

slayer14 · 01-20-17, 09:28 PM

Wow

JIBBBY · 01-20-17, 09:33 PM

Yep they pulled it off again down the stretch..

$100.00

$120.00

Win

1/20/17 7:05pm NBA Basketball 852 Philadelphia 76ers +120* vs Portland Trail Blazers

pologq · 01-20-17, 10:09 PM

they are a totally diff team with him

MoneyLineDawg · 01-20-17, 11:19 PM

Philly still gets Ben Simmons back soon who could be really damn good as well. Trade Okafor for a solid wing or guard and they're in business

I always liked the way they went about the "process" thing.....why not go boom or bust?

now they have a great future while mediocre teams are still mediocre

JIBBBY · 01-21-17, 12:57 AM

Philly is a sleeper team right now in the NBA.. Cellar team found some life.. I don't have much confidence in cellar teams but this Philly team caught my eye.. They are now finding ways to win close games against better teams on paper..

Allen Iverson, Eric Snow, Aaron Mckie are all rolling over in their graves right now..

Practice, practice>>>..

.. I remember the one man show..

shocka1212 · 01-21-17, 01:11 AM

Covington can ball too. So much talent on that team. Hope they can put it all together rather than waste it like the T'wolves

I will always believe that if Iverson had good or a great player on his team in his first couple of seasons he would have been a top 10 best basketball player ever. But it was always just him, and it forced him into becoming a ball hog.

Better handicapper based on what?

Lakerboy is the man though. Legendary poster and a good friend.

Not only that but if A.I. would have taken better care of his body overall and really but in the work he would have been up there with Kobe and Jordan for sure.. He didn't even practice as much as he should have.. Dude was still unstoppable in his prime..

shadymcgrady · 01-21-17, 12:41 PM

One of jr smiths uncles told me back when jr was on denver with melo that Iverson would knock back shots of Hennessy at halftime and play drunk alot in the 2nd half of games in Denver. He was putting up ridiculing stats as well. Shows u the pure talent that Iverson was and makes u wonder how good could he have been if he approached the nba with a professional mentality

Yep he was a disaster and it was clear he ravaged his body off the court.. That's why he had a relatively short window of NBA greatness... He fell off quickly..

News flash

Iverson is in the hall of fame

Missed on Tim Duncan by 1 pick- still hurts

JIBBBY · 01-24-17, 12:49 PM

Does this Philly team get it done again at the buzzer against this Clipper team whom is playing on a back to back..

Philly +5... Hmmm?
