Joel Embiid has once again been playing like one of the better players in all of basketball for the Philadelphia 76ers this season. He doesn't really have a weak spot in his game as he's averaging 26.8 points per game, 10.7 rebounds, and also has his career-high in assist percentage and his career-low in turnover percentage.

In a recent interview, Embiid talks about how he hears the critics and what he needs to work on in his game. According to Rich Hoffman, a Sixers writer for The Athletic Philadelphia, the Sixers Star had this to say,

“I always see everything and I always see what I get criticized on. I think that’s the only aspect of my game the last two years that has been criticized.”

As everybody knows, the Sixers star is always one who listens to the critics and tries to improve his game to help Philadelphia attempt to win an NBA title. He's one of the best players in the NBA and certainly good enough to be the number one option on a championship team.

If he can continue being a playmaker like this, Philadelphia is going to be a very tough team to beat in the playoffs once they make a move with Ben Simmons. They need to make this move sooner rather than later because the Sixers are going to need to get adjusted to the new player that they are going to be bringing in so they can finally win an NBA title that many fans and players are hoping for.
