Apologize if my voice sounds scratchy or less energetic than usual, still recovering from sickness. Hope everyone enjoyed the video regardless!
Content so great it made you sick
All good
23ppg for a playoff career and 19ppg on 49%TS in elimination games...he ain't even top 15 player when the real basketball is being played(and I 'am being nice)...
Regular Season fraud and stat padder against the bad teams!
And also scared of the moment, PJ Tucker had to screem into his face to shoot in game 6 vs Boston😂
@@jimmyhoffa7076mannnn 🫡
Not a problem. Sounded great. Thanks for the effort.
I’m starting to appreciate embiid much more just want to see him have some playoff success
Nice seeing Embiid finally getting the credit he deserves🐐
What a beast. Great to watch. Hope he wins back to back MVPs this year.
And fail to make an ECF again

@@realone296 he just had 50 on twolves and put 50 on boston last year your just a dumbass that gets your narratives online
@@realone296he's been injured for every single playoff series except for 1 and he just scored 50 against the timberwolves how is he a stat padder😂
@@jacob_kbyrne CAP!!! Thats 1 game..
How is he never injured against bad teams in the regular season?
And always injured when they face a good team in the 2nd round...Stop it!
It's obvious...he ain't good when the opps has a time to game plan...he SOFT FLOPER AND CHOKER!
Unstoppable and not even mentioning that he’s a top 10, arguably top 5 defender right now too
Exactly, one of the best 2-way players ever.
My friends absolutely hate it when I say he's the best player in the nba right now
Even the fact that he grew up poor in Africa makes him a bit better
HE NEVER GROW POOR IN CAMEROON
Hopefully this leads to him winning a title would be great way to top off his historic numbers.
Harden says his clippers are gonna beat joel😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
For sure!! He now has more spacing in middle of the court than last season with Harden
Leads them to a whining title
The Nick Nurse effect adding a great coach can unlock a players peak play. Embid already was unguardable what Nurse did is make him realize that only “Embid can stop Embid” bailing defenders out by playing outside-in jacking jumpers makes it easy to guard, playing inside-out makes him UNSTOPPABLE! His foot work in the paint is unmatched once he gets hot that middy game gets going now the defender is playing honest once they can’t take away anything it’s a long night for the opposing team!
Nurse is the first coach sixers have had that run an up to date offense that really takes advantage of an elite center. Brett Browns offense was up to date and did take advantage of him a little with the dribble hand offs which may have been enough to win one if Kawhi didn’t hit a crazy shot and then they imploded. Doc ran a damn 90s offense.
Embiid is an incredible offensive player and very good defender. It's frustrating to see him get disrespected because of free throws and flopping
Mostly play offs
@@Lesqueeze825no in 2020 he had no Simmons,2021 Simmons disappeared,2022 he had a damaged head and still played but Harden didn’t show up,and 2023 yeah it was his fault but 1 bad playoff series doesn’t mean he’s a bad playoff performer.
@@carlosacosta1290Also no one acknowledged embiid playing through back and ankle injuries in the playoffs but Giannis was given a pass for his ankle injury in 2023.
@@TH-cam_Sucks_EggsGiannis won a title on an Injured knee
Well that is really a solid reason to not like somebody's play even if they're great, especially when it helps them get points.
Especially when its about great players its off putting, since they obviously shouldnt need it.
His offense this szn has really moved me. Would u consider him one of the 5 best offensive players in 2024 or no?
Just for the regular season I'd absolutely have him in the top 5. Come playoff time it's tough to pick a 5 that I trust most, all I know is Jokic/Luka look like the clear top 2 right now.
How is he not the best offensive player in the league? Literally averaged 40 for a whole month. Averages 35 for the year. 6 assists a game too. And defensively he’s way better than people even realize.
@@sirfish9824he’s great he’s just not as impactful offensively as Jokic or Luka who are clear superior playmakers and more proven scorers in the playoffs
Because there are players in the league who are also super high volume/efficiency scorers but historically great passers and playmakers, Jokic and Luka again being the 2 big examples.

For those of you who have never guarded a guy that size, it is almost literally impossible to stop him. I'm 6'3, strongest guy on my basketball team, and I had to guard Dominic Woodson 6'10 about 280 at the time. Its just the sheer size...I felt so helpless...Imagine being 1 on 1 in a small room with Francis Nganno or John Jones. It sucks when they are running down court and they use their momentum and they throw their whole body at you to get deep post position. What makes it worse is that Embiid is very athletic, highly skilled, and can shoot free throw; it doesn't surprise me that him and Jokic score so many points.

You suck on defense. I can clamp people way bigger than me. Jrue holiday is 6’3 and can guard taller guys. You’re either too weak, unathletic, or suck on defense.
@@realone296exactly what I was thinking 🎯🎯🎯
@@realone296he literally stole that MVP last yr.😂
Do you usually feel this helpless in the bedroom too? I’m 8’3 700 pound I can take care
THE HOOP VENUE WITH ANOTHER BANGER!
(P.S: I miss u on Twitter gang 😢)
Miss you too brother, keep the great content coming 🙏🏻
this is just Nick Nurse doing proper coaching, unlike Rivers
Shows how dookie doc was for this team the past few years
Doc deff got exposed 😂 L coach
Hell yeah. He's been so good, I honestly think he's been the best player in the league *so far this regular season*
I think I agree, would like to see him sustain this level against some tougher defenses over a longer stretch before making that conclusion though.
@HoopVenue Yeah, I was hoping to get that vs the Heat and Magic before he got hurt. The Sixers have a tough stretch of 6 games against playoff teams in mid February, so if he's healthy that'll be a great test to see how he's maintaining his production against the best teams
I’ll be looking forward to it for sure!
Dude is like a 7 foot Kobe. He doesn’t get enough credit and it’s crazy because he is clearly the best player in the world right now. And not to mention his playmaking and defense has been incredible this season.
I don’t get how people watched Jokic dominate the NBA and win a ring and still have the audacity to say Embiid is better than
@@bulldogvi4026 I don't get how people have the audacity to act like embiid can't do what jokic just did since he's been just as good if not better than Jokic the last few years and now has a real coach and his best teammate ever
Embiid isn't impressive nor dominant at all. He's a foul-baiting flopper and a choker in the Playoffs. He's a foul beggar and an MVP beggar. Don't be fooled by the refs propping him up like this.
Kobe isn't a choking, flopping loser who had to beg for his MVP.
@@VVVY777 damn can you hate anymore? Stop sucking on Jokic's D and maybe you could see better. You should know that Joker has already gotten tossed out twice this season so far for complaining to the referees about fouls that he has been begging to get that you claim Embiid always does. Embiid hasn't been ejected ever for this and the last time he was ejected was the fight with KAT which is different. Oh and Jokic has already been tossed out 9 times in his career and guess what? all of em are from the fouls he was begging he didn't get. So you were saying?
people who reduce this man to free throws dont really watch basketball
he is an offensive artits
Amazing breakdown ‼️
Some fun Joel Embiid playoff facts:
The best team he's beaten in the playoffs is the 2022 5th seed Raptors led by Siakam and FVV
He averages 22 PPG on 49.2% TS in elimination games(a 9 game sample size)
In NO playoff run has he ever averaged more assists than turnovers
He is the ONLY MVP in league history to never make the conference finals
This year, he had the biggest PPG drop from the RS to the playoffs of any MVP winning season
He turned the ball over 8 times in back to back elimination games against the Hawks in 2021
He's shot under 20% from three over his last two playoff runs
He had a worse eFG% than Russell Westbrook during the 2023 playoffs
With a chance to go up 3-1, Joel Embiid went 0-12 in the second half against the 5 seeded Hawks in game 4, including missing a wide open layup to take the lead
He got stripped by Danilo Gallnari to seal the loss in game 7
Down 3 in game 5 of the same series with 15 seconds left, he missed BOTH free throws to seal the game
All of his offensive numbers(PPG, RPG, APG, TOs, FG%, 3P%, FT%) are worse in the playoffs than in the regular season aside from FT%
He has only won ONE playoff series in his career where he played in all four wins(2022 vs. Toronto)
He is 0-3 in game 7s and has posted a 49% TS and 5.3 TOs a game in those 3 games
He once got swept in a series despite averaging FIFTEEN free throws per game(2020 vs. Boston)
Over the last two seasons, he has a 9.2 BPM in the regular season(box plus minus) and a 1.0 BPM in the playoffs
WORST OF ALL: HE IS 9/38 IN CLUTCH(within 5 points, last 5 minutes by NBA definition) SITUATIONS DURING HIS PLAYOFF CAREER, WITH AN UNFATHOMABLE TS% of 35.7%
This is why he's one of the best to ever do it hahaha the DEDICATION to his hate is legitimately unmatched
It’s hard being a hater but I will persevere
😂
Touche I'm not even mad at this comment.
I respect the honesty 😂👍
Lmao
Hating will make you bald early . JS
Great video Thnks for this
Thanks for watching!
Doc played iso basketball where Nurse has everyone moving creating easy opportunities for not just him but Maxey as well
Good to see embiid getting love with all the hate around him. People act like he is the only one that excessively draws fouls
All anyone cares about is agendas nowadays, why can’t we all just appreciate good basketball from everyone?
@@HoopVenuewhat is the agenda? I’m confused why you think he gets unfair hate when he is a 300 pounder who flops as a main if not the main part of his offense
@@HoopVenuehe actually won mvp because of agendas and he cries an insane amount 😂
@@almostawesome5934ur pushing the agenda😂 just straight lying I never once saw him “cry” for mvp and he has always given jokic credit idk why u can’t appreciate 2 of the best bigs ever going at it in the same era
@@dq7688 so him constantly whining on and off the floor isn’t crying? He literally told the media “I don’t know what else I can do” and started a pity party for himself
Embiid will have a 1994 or 1995 Hakeemesk playoff run this season.
If so, can’t wait to see it!
Love this content, easy sub
Embiid is a tank that drives like a sports car.
thought tanks were built tough not soft like this dork
@MALIK-fk1rz no way an anime pfp just called someone a dork😂😂😂😂

Jojo is the Beard of Centers right now
Elite offensive scoring skillset for his size
Fire breakdown🔥
Glad you enjoyed!
they used to say A.I was the best pound for pound athlete ever right? well for a big man in PHILLY
This man is 7'1 - 285 lbs. WHAT THE ACTUAL FCK
I feel like this the year he will finally overcome the 2nd round hump. If he at least makes the ECF I’ll be fine with it
this video is amazing, haters don't like Embiid terrorizing their teams. He's a monster
Embiid isn't impressive nor dominant at all. He's a foul-baiting flopper and a choker in the Playoffs. He's a foul beggar and an MVP beggar. Don't be fooled by the refs propping him up like this.
Glad you enjoyed!
@@VVVY777I just know you didn’t watch this video if ur saying that😭 actually wild clicking on a video just to go to the comments
Embiid Sixers were 4 - 12 playoff games , 0 - 3 playoff series against the Celtics ain't terrorizing to me.Celtics always beat their WeakassSons Sixers.
@@johnanimex.1334yeah and the Celtics are enjoying the championship they won last season 😂
The reason Embiid should win MVP again is he's an all NBA defender+the key to Philly's D. Plus scores 35ppg.
unfortunately he probably wont hit the game threshold they put in place to win mvp. now its a complete crapshoot without the clear best player in the nba out of the picture
he is the modern day shaq, this is the best chance for philly to win the cup
I fear the injuries will prevent him from completing the 65 game requirement for awards, but I hope that isn’t the case, his trajectory this season is behind only 95 Hakeem and 13 lebron. 91 Mj has a case but rim protection is always more valuable than perimeter defense.
I hope he gets back soon, shaping up to be a historic season for sure.
What rim protection? Phily is literally BETTER on defense without him on the floor for this regular season...also got cooked vs Boston in game 7...defense is more than just blocks...
23ppg for a playoff career and 19ppg on 49%TS in elimination games...he ain't even top 15 player when the real basketball is being played(and I 'am being nice)...
Regular Season fraud and stat padder against the bad teams!
@@realone296Sixers defense is night and day with or without embiid. They just gave up 127 to the Rockets without him
Philly's defense is almost 3 points worse with Embiid OFF the floor this season. At this point your agenda has reached the "making up numbers" stage so it might be time to take a break.
MVP🏀
Without watching the video and answering the question in the title. Tall af, Strong af, great defender, can shoot the ball, can dominate on the paint and the team chemistry allows him to more. Just an allround domination on the floor.
finally someone giving credit where its due, sick of embiid getting hated on for cookin
Just wait until playoffs. Al Horford lockin that shit up
al horford has never locked embiid
Al horford can't stop Tyler herro@@idontlikeuidiot2060
nick nurse knows how to use big men. Let's not forget how he revived the careers of valanciunas and ibaka, and how gasol stonewalled embiid and made him cry
Foul merchant
Take away his free throws and he still top 15 ppg. Take away everybody ft & Embiid still leads in ppg. Scores most pts in paint in nba. Shoots 11 ft per game. Shoots 89%. I refuse to believe dude has refs in his pocket.
Jordan shot more free throws per game. Giannis shoots more free throws per game only difference is Gianni’s can’t hit free throws like embiid.
Do SGA next
I did a huge video on him a couple months ago! About time for another though for sure.
What does Joel average vs bam?
Offensively to score on him you draw him around stay out of the paint so you get a free guy open if not you can rim run and there is no stopping him it’s still hard to score on him
This dude was avg 35 12 and 6 with 2 blocks a game putting up unanimous mvp numbers
Until the playoffs
Minnesota is probably the only team in the league that can throw 3 quality bigs at embiid and he still torched them
Who is your MVP this far?
I’d say Joel, but with the missed games it’s tough. Any one of him, Jokic, SGA, Giannis or Luka would be a valid answer imo.
Embiid can easily improve his assist numbers if he passed more. I know he can score but you have shooters always open due to the double teams and other team focusing him.
I came for the Embiid hat so I can laugh at y’all 😂
Not to mention he's anchoring a top 3 defense
Yep, ridiculous 2-way talent.
Embiid is actually 7’2. In his first two years when he sat out they said he grew 2 inches.
i had ptsd after he cooked my wolves
Except in the playoffs when refs don't reward barreling into other players and falling down.
It's Houston Harden all over again.
He flops so much and gets freethrows so often that people let him score mire often than they try defend him .
It's very difficult to stop a big if you can't even touch him
Is it hard for you to appreciate a player … y’all some weirdos forreal smh
waiting for the breakdown on Shai being slept on
Definitely got a Shai video coming soon!
He dnt do it when it matters the most 😂
A Beautiful player🎉 pause
if defenders actually guarded him tight, he'd just flail around and foul bait. that's why he's "unguardable"
Hakeem mixed with SGA 😂
I’d say more Melo, either way it’s ridiculous.
The cash cow Joel Embiid ✅
Baby I’m sorry I can’t get past round 2 like Joel embiid but I need a break anyways. HoopVenue just dropped!
Chill on my mans 💀
Joel impossibly to guard!!!
Glass foot : *Enter the chat
The best basketball player on the planet right now. Full Stop!
His points drastically drop in the playoffs. All these historical numbers are during the regular season. He has to do it when it counts too, deep in the postseason
He’s been hurt every postseason of his career
@@HellaRacksExactly!!!! I mean I’m not even a Sixers fan, but whenever I read comments about his playoff performances it SCREAMS to me that the person OBVIOUSLY doesn’t watch the actual playoffs, but are regurgitating talking points they HEARD! The guy has terrible luck as far as injuries in the playoffs, not to mention EVERY SINGLE COACH he’s had minus Nurse is terrible. Rivers is a historically bad coach in the playoffs.
Exactly !
With all those NBA titles he won. I'm sure he's still unstoppable?
It's clear to see in this video because its on slow mo, how Embiid having guard's reflexes against slow big man, he's just too quick on ball
bro is fluent in yapanese
Embiid seems pretty easy to guard in the playoffs 🤣
Can you do a video explaining why all this changes in the playoffs?
The game slows down but also we haven’t seen this team in the playoffs with Nick Nurse.
We know why.
He has never been healthy in a single playoffs other than the bubble
@@SchulzEricTwhy?
1. Health issue. And it's not a coincidence. When it comes to playoff times, teams put extra gear in their effort, especially in defense. It's not that hard to imagine he's getting banged up even more comes playoff time with how dominant he is, while also playing the most physical position in basketball.
2. Bad coaching. We finally see what a true coaching geniuses can do to a basketball team.
3. His lack of trust in his teammates. Over the past 3 years, I think Embiid just doesn't trust his teammates comes clutch moments in playoffs, making him think that he has to do it all, which leads to an easier scheme for the defender, and an increase in turnovers. The last teammates he truly believes in? Jimmy Butler, and I don't think it's a coincidence that it was also the most successful playoff run the Sixers had (taking the eventual champion, Toronto to a game 7 and a quadruple bounce). I believe Embiid have full faith on Maxey this season, so I expect a more successful playoffs
Would u say he’s the best scorer in the nba? Or somewhere in the t5
Best.
@@sirfish9824 Averaged 23ppg in the playoffs... best scorer?

@@realone296hasn’t he been hurt in the playoffs most years? Ontop of beingone of the most double teamed players in the league?
@@Chillehhhh So when he scored 33 in game 5 vs Boston he was fine, but in game 6 and game 7 he was suddenly hurt...lol..tell me how is he NEVER hurt against the bad teams in the regular season? Excuses, excuses, excuses...
Couldn't beat Atlanta Hawks, 0/12 in the second half and 8 turnovers in game 7...
He is like Harden amongst centers...
From may on, he's pretty much guardable
lol, yeah right. LOAD MANAGING I FIGHT LIONS.
And then the playoffs come and he's pretty easy to guard.
I knew who n wat can stop him Title town n da 2nd rd😂😂
... just wait. He may be impossible to guard *now*, but just wait.
We can come back to this
It’s impossible for him to stay healthy. The sixers are 4.5 games back from Boston.
Best scorer all time per 36 minutes
That was blatantly an offensive foul at 14:45
Could be, I really don’t know how refs make that distinction though
Al Hortford
can't wait to see him choke in the playoff
He’s like a prime 7 foot Carmelo Anthony with rim protection
Great comparison
You didn’t even bring up the defense.
He needs to show that he can do this in the post season as well and make it to the conf finals at least. Or else he will be always known as a playfoff choker or a regualer season player. Hopefully he can perform well under the new system.
Well they typically run two man iso in the playoffs and them playing like this seem like it’s going to be harder to stop! Hope he doesn’t just get hurt! 🙏🏽
MVP isn’t about the postseason bozo
Embiid or Shai on offense?
This is a question I've been struggling with myself. Still think Embiid's the more devastating scorer, especially because he does more away from the ball, but Shai is the better passer and decision maker, more of a "traditional lead creator", and I think he'll be able to maintain his level of scoring effectiveness in the playoffs. It's tough to say right now, waiting for postseason basketball.
Joel Himbiid
Celtics or Thunder in a 7 game series and why?
Celtics, just straight up better imo, not to mention experience
@@HoopVenue how do the two teams match up in your opinion?
One significantly better than the other, a 5 game series.
@@HoopVenue what’s OKC’s Achilles heel iyo?
Relying on Josh Giddey and Lu Dort over a 7 game series. Offense could get really mucky, and I don't think they're good enough defensively to fall back on it against other elite teams.@@johnrouguine3090
Embidd has the best mid range ive ever seen. Real shit 💯
Wow
Joel Embiid need another all-star caliber player to surpass Boston 😅😂😅😂😅😂😅😂
35-12-6. Embiid should win consecutive MVPs if the 76ers win 55ish games.
What makes me mad about him is that, every game he could get a triple double if he would just pass to the cutters when he gets double teamed on the help defense.
call al horford
old man Al shuts his cheeks good doe ;^)
Damn second round is a really good defensive player but this year first round beat his ass
He averaged 33 on 59 TS% with one functioning knee. Not really sure what else you could ask for besides more reliable health.
@@HoopVenue he's a choke artist who's always hurt 10 turnovers and 7-19 shooting in a elimination game 5 is unacceptable for any "Superstar" if his health is that much of an excuse where he has no playoff success he should retire
