Cameroonian player Joel Embiid, of the Philadelphia 76ers, panics the counters

Embiid needed only 27 minutes (well 27) to join legends Wilt Chamberlain and Allen Iverson, the only other players to have already scored so many points in the jersey of the Sixers, the Philadelphia 76ers.

Fifty points in 27 minutes is the most impressive

“Fifty points in 27 minutes is the most impressive,” praised his coach Doc Rivers. The Cameroonian found the target on 17 of his 23 attempts in the game (including a three-point shot) and scored 15 of his 17 free throws.

“I felt great,” told the NBATV channel the giant from Yaoundé (2.13m, 27 years old), who also managed three blocks.

“I just played my game, dominated like I have been all season”, added Embiid, candidate for the title of MVP (best player of the season) with an average of 27.3 points per game even before this meeting.
