You’re right about embiid being lazy in his passes out of the post but a lot of these clips are from last year. He’s really improved in that aspect this year largely by of the spacing. As the chemistry gets better with this squad it’ll only get better.
It’s always a little disingenuous when people say Simmons and Embiid can’t work together on the floor. The +/- is really good, they both play insane defense, the shooting is there around them - there’s concerns but I hate the idea that it’s impossible to do
Jim Geckon I mean everyone thought they’d get it done in 2017-18 when they finished the season on a 16 game win streak but they just got deomolished by the Celtics because they weren’t good enough. 2018-19 they had one of the most stacked teams of all time and lost in the 2nd round to a raptors team that had everyone underperforming except for kawhi in that series. I don’t have trust in embed as a leader or playoff performer
It seems like a lot of people, especially writers on The Ringer, really don't want to see them stay together. Every bit of Sixers material always references that they're not a pixel perfect fit together. Asinine
@@timmcbride8432 What's even more bizarre about that hot take is that 17-18 was Ben's rookie season. Did Lebron or Shaq "get it done" in their rookie seasons? Also, consensus was that that Sixers team was going to be a bubble 8th seed. Pretty much no one thought they'd win a series, let alone expected them to beat a perennial playoff team like Boston.
Between Kyle's insightful commentary and the brilliant edits these guys put together, the Ringer has genuinely some of the best sports content out there, period.
J. Kyle Mann is the only reason why I subbed to this channel. I wish he made more content or he was apart of more draft and basically discussions that are always posted on this channel.
@@balckmac i know he comes on the ringer NBA University pod with KOC and Tjarks. I wanna say he's been on the mismatch pod with koc and Chris Vernon as a guest but I know for sure, 100%, he's a host on the ringer nba uni pod that usually airs every Wednesday. I like a lot of the ringer pods. The Raja Bell and Logan Murdoch NBA pod is usually pretty good too as well as the mismatch.
People fall wayyyyy too in love with players like Simmons because of the transition highlights. Embiid is several tiers higher than Simmons as a player.
The beats, the logic, the cadence, the allusions... nothing more satisfying or well produced on TH-cam. Ringer, Bill: A. Well done (signing my man) and B. WE WANT MORE!
I both watch J. Kyle and Thinking basketbal. For some reason i kept smiling like a kid when the metrics came in. Thankyou for making basketball more than a sport, you guys almost make it a science, an art.
Embiid and Simmons have the 3rd highest net rating out of all duos in the nba. Only Lebron & AD and Kawhi & PG are higher. Can we stop with the whole “they don’t fit together” narrative already?
@@lolololol-e7z it’s not because of doc it’s because of the shooting around them. That’s why they had the hype early on. They had shooting. Then we got rid of all our shooting and ppl think they can’t play together anymore
Lebron and AD won a chip together. Kawhi and PG were lookin like a buzz saw until the playoffs caught up to them. Neither their playoff opponents had legit answers to handle how teams used those guys respectively to get results (Lebron/AD PnR and AD essentially defending opposing teams explosive scorers on the perimeter. Kawhi/PG being the best two-way wings). So tell me how 'good' of a fit Embiid and Simmons are exactly. Like those two examples I mentioned or anything less? Because if its anything less then you REALLY don't know what the word 'fit' means in the context, you fucking bozo. btw JOkic/Murray when they click are an even better fit than Embiid/Simmons. May be lacking on defense but the offensive looks they get and can generate rivals that of even the two I made an example of who has gotten big time results at the high level.
@@trvspvrk How can you win the mvp when you don't have the best record in your conference, have a top 5 player as your sidekick, 2 DPOY level defenders and not to mention 2 6-man of the year candidates on your team. Face it Lebron has a stacked team and his stats are decent but his defense is nowhere close to being as valuable as Jokic and definitely not Embiid.
3:14 🤯, so first he humiliated the defender, and then the destroyed his career. The closest thing it reminds me of is when Shaq two hand slammed on that guy and just shoved him to the ground coming down, in terms of just bullying a dude on the court.
That would be Chris Dudley. At least he had a Yale degree to fall back on after Shaq destroyed him! Apparently they didn't teach FT shooting in the Ivy Leauge though. Dudley was one of the few players in the league that were worse than Shaq from the charity stripe.
It is sad to me how the media, especially The Ringer cannot talk about the Sixers without suggesting they should trade a player. They cannot talk about how the Sixers are undefeated with their starting lineup, instead they suggest to pull apart the starting lineup.
That is always going to be part of the the narrative with the Philly duo and how they came up along with the process. But hey you will have more time to talk about the starting lineup when they get crapped on against a competent team come playoff time. And we'll have people like you to cite all these regular season accolades that uh, don't amount for shit in a 7 game series.
Embiid just has to prove he can stay healthy and keep fit. Otherwise he's been pretty dominate. Though it is hard to say how often he disappears is mental vs physical.
Getting rid of Simmons for Beal isn’t as easy as people think. Simmons is just as good of a defender as Beal is a scorer. And Beal is just as bad of a defender as Simmons is on the Offensive side. People don’t understand just how DOMINANT Simmons really is on the defensive side
Also the facilitating. Ben hilariously is the key to our 3pt shooting. He penetrates and collapses the paint and is a terrific at finding shooters on the perimenter. The on/off shooting numbers without Simmons are night and day. If we trade Beal for Ben we need to find a PG and an elite defender to replace Ben. Or we wont win anything
Fantastic analysis as always! Still gotta think that the Process climaxed with Simmons, Redick, Harris, Butler and Embiid. As strong of a start as this season has been, it’s been a gradual decline since then.
Someone please list the per 36 min or per 100 possessions stats of Embiid Jokic and Lebron this season in the comments below. People always wanna point out per game like we’re still living in 2010. Adjusting stats to per 100 possessions or 36 min levels the playing field more because someone averaging 30 PPG on 30 min a night is more impressive than 31 PPG on 38 min a night. It gives a clearer picture
I thought I was gonna get a nice breakdown of what makes Embiid so good and how he's playing at an MVP level. Not the same tired talking points that you always hear about the Sixers that have been proven wrong many times. Smh
Lol these are almost entirely from past years. Was a little surprised it was such a point of emphasis in this video because he’s already taken that step this year lol. Clear emphasis under doc has been quickly making the easy pass as soon as he sees the double coming. He’s also facing up way more so he can see the whole floor. Catch some games you’ll see he’s just not doing that shit this year
Tim McBride - I am sure. He is too good a player to be throwing haywire bombs cross court, but this could clearly be made into a Shaqtin montage. Some of them were so hilariously off target i loled
J. Kyleeee, always the best videos on the Ringer
ditto. no doubt.
Arguably on TH-cam for me. There isn’t another series on TH-cam I will try to drop anything and try to watch
Straight facts
By a mile
Totally agree

came here literally to comment the same thing

Imagine Beal + Embiid thooooooooooooo
6:05 isnt even Korkmaz. its dakota matthias. lol
That mistake describes the whole video.
Ok
Best content creator on the Ringer at it again!
when you played that hakeem clip of him talking about playing other sports him and embiid have identical accents and voices
Remember when people were saying Simmons over Embiid in potential trades? 😂😂😅
" Embiid is injury prone !! "
I just didn’t get it 🤷🏽♂️.
Glad they don’t have to trade either of them
People fall wayyyyy too in love with players like Simmons because of the transition highlights. Embiid is several tiers higher than Simmons as a player.
You can't dismiss his injury record
I love these! I already know I love it before even watching it.
Ahhhh J. Kylee Mann videos are too good 🔥
Seriously how can one man's voice be this smooth????

In the playoffs its not very good
EMBIIIIID. Seriously how can you be that big and athletic and have such a soft delicate touch? Incred.
It’s almost like a rap record. The way Kyle pulls and samples from different forms of entertainment for his videos. Gotta tip your hat
Quality hoop breakdown. Good video for sure.
It will be crazy if Embiid does what Iverson did 20 years later. Win MVP in his fifth season and bring the Sixers to the Finals.
Nets bucks
@@nalimlattarai2873 pfttt Bucks will prosper once Budweiser leaves
Nice vid. Was enjoyable to watch.
When Embiid wins the MVP this year, come back and watch this video again. You'll thank me later
Lebron will win a pity MVP this year
@@trvspvrk sucks to know that even if Embiid averages 30 and 12 it may not be enough to get him MVP, Bron is winning it without a doubt

He's been unstoppable this year. There is nothing you can do with him 1-on-1 ANYWHERE on the court. It's beautiful to watch
this was great, love this kinda stuff
This is my morning ASMR before work. Thank you kindly, JKM.
“ Like pedestrians looking for a court settlement” I felt that
Didn’t spend enough time talking about how great Joel is at getting fouled
Curry and Green are so huge for that team.
Great and entertaining video🔥🔥🔥🔥👍🏼
Embiid simply trusted the process...
Imma head out.

Well this turned out to be on point lol
"This series, I like it. "
random guy who agrees: "I know, its great right."
*Smashes Cup. ANOTHER!
It's funny that you shouted out Ben Taylor, because I've always found that you sound a ton like him
The Horford edit killed me 😂😂
the fact that Embiid also played multiple of other sports before focusing on basketball is also very similar to Hakeem
The Process, great nickname
If the Sixers managed to get an elite perimeter shot creator with Simmons and Embiid as frontcourt mates, the Sixers would be unstoppable
Funny thing his passing has greatly improved this year, Especially out of the double.
j Kyle mann, MY MAN!
I do agree.
I seriously can’t wait for the Jazz and 76ers to play!!
we just did a video on if Joel Embiid being an MVP candidate is forreal or not!
AYYY SHOUT OUT TO THINKING BASKETBALL!

@JKyleMann in the ringer University pod you guys called Ja knife and then mentioned ninja quickly. Why not call him NIN-JA??
He's so graceful and clumsy at the same time. Like a ballerina who's legs fell asleep from sitting too long.
He has always been an M.V.P, he just need the right team to show it.
