Original title: O’Neal: Embiid is very good but I will not describe him as dominance
Beijing time on October 8th, Joel Embiid stepped on the basketball court to prove that he is a unique genius player, however, his outstanding performance did not really translate into a success in the playoffs. Recently, NBA legend and current basketball commentator Shaquille O’Neal talked about Embiid in an interview.
On the media day of the new season, Joel Embiid said he would shoot more three-pointers in the new season. However, in O’Neal’s view, he is not sure whether this will give the 76ers a playoff advantage.
“This is good for him (Embid) and I hope it works for him. Good luck, especially when you play against a team like the Nets or Bucks. If you feel hot, it will work. It works, but if you feel bad, what is your plan?” O’Neill said in an interview with “Sports Illustrated” reporter Chris Mannix.
More importantly, Olney said that although Embiid is good, he will not say that Embiid is a dominant player. “At least in this era, I will not use the word dominance. Embiid is very good, he is really good. But I will not use the word dominance to describe him.” O’Neill said.
O’Neal is considered one of the most dominant players in NBA history, so he knows what he is talking about, but Embiid does not agree with him. “Undoubtedly, the main thing I have been focusing on is winning… my focus is winning championships. Speaking of those awards, you also mentioned that I have been in a dominant position throughout the season, and I feel that every time I When taking the ball, the opponent always sends three people to defend me, and I can still do what I do best…I can do both offensive and defensively.” Embiid said.
In the 2020-21 season, Embiid can contribute 28.5 points and 10.6 rebounds per game, and was once one of the most powerful competitors for the regular season MVP. (Morning)Return to Sohu to see more
