    You'd think you're looking at a big lumbering stiff, but his feet are so quick and agile, it's not even fair. Giannis is like that, too, out of position defensively and then just teleports into the play. Watch some plays slowed down, it's uncanny. And Embiid isn't just size and strength. He's got technique when he's fighting for position. He'll chuck a big right out of the play and make it look like he did nothing. He's a giant among giants.

  • @jimifender22
    @jimifender22 Місяць тому +2

    Embiid being as good as he is offensively i feel overshadows his defense. If he stayed healthy he was having a season where he should've been a dpoy candidate, year in year out it's pretty much the same story, sixers are a top 10 defense with him on the court and a dumpster fire with him off it, and when he really turns it on he's flat out dominant on that end. Kind of the unspoken component of his game that makes him so valuable, people know he's a plus defender but having the top scorer in the league also be a player that singlehandedly transforms a trash defense into a top 10 one is absurd

    76ers defense in Game 1 of Celtics vs Sixers without Joel was a complete layup line.

He was amazing defensively despite being injured, and the Tatum 50 was tough but any center not named Bam getting cooked too in that situation.
