    Who doesn't enjoy good defense though?  ...other than David Silver?

    lol
    I thought the Michigan-Alabama and Michigan-WU games were awesome.  It wasn't soccer match scoring, but it wasn't 50-48 either.  It is nice every once in a while to see a defense shutdown a prolific offense.

    Quite possibly the greatest, or one of the greatest, scorers any of us have ever seen. Too easy for him right now.

    You said scorer. 

    Jordan, Durant, Kobe, Bird, Dominique, Wilt, Petite, English, Dantley, Anthony, Lebron, West, Baylor, Shaq, Gervin, kareem, Robertson, Malone.

    I'd put them all up before him.

    Perhaps Iverson, Magic, Barry Mcadoo?

    Jo has the 4th highest ppg in NBA history. 

    Also, I said "any of us have ever seen." I don't know how old you are but I'd be willing to bet you didn't see almost half that list. lol

    True Remove Petite, West, Wilt Gervin and Robertson though theres enough tape of games you can watch to see how good they were.

    The lack of defense in the league now doesn't do him any favors either.  

    PPG, yayyyy. Last year we had a few crack 30 didn't we?  And we discussed how that hasn't happened in forever too.

    Embiid is good, not the best I've ever seen.  In a few years from now when he declines will you remember that he only played 8 years at this point and the others I mentioned played more?

    "Good." LOL. Sorry man. Jo is scoring at an historic pace for his career. That's a tad better than "good." And if you don't consider him best you've seen, he is certainly one of them...which was my original point.
     

    How many of those guys put up 70 before?
    How many of those guys you mentioned averaged more points per game? -- the answer is only Wilt and MJ. 
    How many of those guys scored more points per minute per 36, which is probably the best indicator of how great a scorer you are? The answer is none. Nobody in the history of the NBA has averaged more points per minute than Embiid. You should watch more Sixers games.

    The craziest thing about last night? For those who watch him night in, night out? He looks like he can score 50+ every time he touches the court. I have never seen anything like it. The game is so easy for him right now. Nobody can guard him. Truly amazing stuff.

    Yep. Big rival, but I can acknowledge Embiid is great. He's like the Peyton Manning of the NBA, pretty much unstoppable in the regular season when healthy, then craps out in the playoffs consistently year in year out.

    PPG, yayyyy. Last year we had a few crack 30 didn't we?  And we discussed how that hasn't happened in forever too.

    Embiid is good, not the best I've ever seen.  In a few years from now when he declines will you remember that he only played 8 years at this point and the others I mentioned played more?



    "Good." LOL. Sorry man. Jo is scoring at an historic pace for his career. That's a tad better than "good." And if you don't consider him best you've seen, he is certainly one of them...which was my original point.
     

    How many of those guys put up 70 before?
    How many of those guys you mentioned averaged more points per game? -- the answer is only Wilt and MJ. 
    How many of those guys scored more points per minute per 36, which is probably the best indicator of how great a scorer you are? The answer is none. Nobody in the history of the NBA has averaged more points per minute than Embiid. You should watch more Sixers games.

    The craziest thing about last night? For those who watch him night in, night out? He looks like he can score 50+ every time he touches the court. I have never seen anything like it. The game is so easy for him right now. Nobody can guard him. Truly amazing stuff. 

    400 games played only... If you think he will be like this in 5 years godbless.

    Again, he's good, really good just not one of the best I've ever seen.
