While the spotlight was on him after recording all-around numbers of 15 points, three rebounds, seven assists, two steals, and a block, Simmons couldn’t help but also deflect credit to his fellow All-Star teammate Joel Embiid.</p><p>The Sixers are currently the top dogs in the Eastern Conference with an incredible 22-11 start, due in large part to Embiid playing at an MVP level this season. Barkley and O’Neal noted the great strides Embiid has had this campaign, something that Simmons has seen first-hand.</p><blockquote>“I think he’s (Embiid) realizing. It takes time. He’s figuring out how dominant he can be. He came into the season in great shape.

Shaq and Sir Charles have been known to put some of this generation’s best players on blast, but it’s clear they are impressed with <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/philadelphia-76ers/stats">what Embiid has done this season</a>.</p><p>Ben Simmons, on the other hand, understands that the Sixers will go as far as Joel Embiid takes them.

We need to give credit where it is due.</p><p>However, to utter their names in the same sentence as Lakers’ Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal — two of the greatest players of all time and arguably the best duo in NBA history — just sounds like slander at this point.

He probably knew that it would be folks like myself that were going to crucify Barkley for his disrespectful comments. We’re actually surprised Shaw didn’t spit out his drink in utter shock.</p><p>In his defense, Barkley did try to justify his comments. Try. And failed. The Hall of Famer has been right many times in the past, but this is a particular subject that I personally cannot agree with.</p><p>Ben and Joel are going to go down in history as great players. They might even be in store for a championship or two. Until then, however, let’s hold off the Kobe-Shaq comparisons because we know just<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sports/nba/los-angeles-lakers/roster"> how special they were with the Lakers</a>.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Harris sat down for an interview with Sam Amick of The Athletic, in which he revealed his frustration at the idea he is not capable of being a third star for the Sixers alongside Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid:</p><blockquote>“Yeah, you know, that shit pisses me off,” Harris said, via <a href="https://theathletic.com/2402674/?source=twitterhq">Amick</a>. “I ain’t even gonna lie. But I also kind of get it because that’s kind of been me my whole life. You know, I was a top-10 player coming out (of Tennessee in 2011), and I wasn’t on many draft boards like that in the beginning. Even now, it’s like if you look at those stats (this season), you would say, ‘Oh wow’ (but he remains under the radar). … But at the same time, the respect that I always care about is the respect between myself and teammates.”</blockquote><p>The 28-year-old has certainly played like a star thus far with the Sixers.</p><p>Harris is averaging 20.6 points, 7.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists on close to 50-40-90 splits. His emergence as a more efficient wing scorer has been a major piece to Philly’s 20-11 start.</p><p>Still, Harris is not widely regarded as a guy with star talent. He told Amick he thinks that’s partially because he does not have the “hype” or name recognition commonly associated with guys often deemed to be stars.</p><p>Then again, the Sixers could care less about the perceptions of the general public. Harris is helping them win with his inside-out scoring and ability to crash the boards.</p><p>Whether Harris is considered a “star” or not won’t really matter should he help Philly lift the Larry O’Brien Trophy at the end of the season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

His 50-point showing yesterday against the Chicago Bulls is the highlight so far of his season. In 24 games, the Cameroonian <a href="https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/e/embiijo01.html">is averaging</a> 30.5 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.3 blocks per outing.</p><p>The last time the Sixers had a player this dominant was Allen Iverson in the early 2000s. Iverson would win the MVP in 2001 and lead the team all the way to the NBA Finals, where they fell short against the Los Angeles Lakers.</p><p>Embiid’s dominant season is most reminiscent of Philadelphia great Moses Malone’s 1982-83 campaign, however. In that year, the Hall of Fame center had averages of 24.5 points, a league-leading 15.3 boards, 1.3 assists, 1.1 steals, and 2.0 blocks a contest. Malone went on a tear in the regular season and continued his stellar play to the postseason. He helped lead the Sixers to win 12 games and lose just one in three series against the New York Knicks, Milwaukee Bucks, and Lakers en route to winning the championship. Malone bested Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in the Finals.</p><p>The game back then was very different then and the center position is the one that has arguably gone through the most changes and Embiid is a testament to this. While he is a force scoring inside the paint, he has developed his outside shot and has been shooting at a 40 percent clip. He does not take that many 3-point attempts, but they are enough to keep defenders honest.</p><figure><img src="https://clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/image_2021-02-20_222943.png"></figure><p>Like traditional big men, Embiid is an elite rim-protector and regularly alters shots. He is a nightmare for opposing bigs, as his frame and strength make it impossible to bully him inside. At the same time, he has the agility to not regularly get blown by smaller players.</p><p>Joel Embiid has been able to locate open shooters for a pass when he gets double-teamed. This is one of the benefits of the Sixers’ improved spacing with the additions of Seth Curry and Danny Green.</p><p>One of the criticisms, he faced throughout his career was that we had a low motor and would take games off. This season, those narratives are getting thrown out of the window, as he is playing at a high level and energy.</p><p>Philadelphia is at the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sixers-news-doc-rivers-hilarious-4-word-reaction-possibly-getting-all-star-coaching-job/">top of the Eastern Conference standings</a> with a 20-10 record and in no small part to the improved play of Embiid. Who knows maybe this is the year the Sixers can hoist the Larry O’Brien Trophy again on the back of a dominant big man? Let’s all just sit back and trust the process.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
