I ask myself, "Where is the value, where is the value"?
Easiest 300 I ever made in my life.
It's all in the value.
Well, I guess a certain somebody "isn't going to spit in my face" (direct quote) when, not if, but when Embid wins the MVP award?
Riddle me this?
How can "a top five all-time great center" (another direct quote) be a five-time great center when a current center has just won his second consecutive MVP, that being Jokic.
How can a so called " top five all-time great center" (direct quote) be an elite defender when he doesn't garner a single defensive player of the year vote, meanwhile another MVP award winner, and former DPOY award winner as well that being Giannis, picked up a slew of DPOY voters this season? And another current center, that being Gobert has won so many DPOY awards he doesn't even have enough room for anymore trophies on his fireplace anymore for trophies?
Fact of the matter is Embid can't distribute like Jokic can, the assist data proves that out, fact of the matter is Jokic out rebounded Embid this season, that can not be refuted, it's irrefutable, the data proves that out as well.
Embid did win the scoring crown this season, James wins that if he played in just two of his final four games to qualify for that title. But rules are rules, kudos to Embid for that accomplishment.
I wonder if you can apply the term "absurd variance" here?
Since Giannis played the majority of his minutes on the floor at the position center, and not power forward, he's technically a C/PF, not a PF/C, that would make Embid the third best center in the league.
So, riddle be this one more time, how can the currently third best center in the league be a "top five all time center"?
If so, that would make Jokic and Giannis a top four and top three center.
And they are not.
If a certain someone, and you know who you are thinks about direct quoting this post, word of advice, I'd give that thought a hard second thought, because know this and know this well pal, if you do, I will make your forum rest of your life here a living hell. A nightmare.
There's a message in those last two sentences.
