The Philadelphia 76ers beat the Charlotte Hornets, as they were expected to. But it didn’t look like the beatdown that the title hopeful was supposed to put on one of the worst teams in the NBA. The Sixers won by a score of 97-89 due in large part to a 33-point game from Joel Embiid. […]

Joel Embiid is on another level when it comes to scoring the ball. The Philadelphia 76ers’ big man is simply unguardable, averaging more points (35.0) than minutes (34.2) this season as he makes a case to win the MVP again.

Throwing a pass off the backboard for a self alley-oop is becoming en vogue in recent weeks. But make no mistake about it, that is a ridiculously difficult play to pull off.

Joel Embiid is dominating at such a high level right now that he’s actively costing himself playing time. He’s more than happy for that to be the case, though.
