Just because the Philadelphia 76ers superstar is of the opinion he deserves the league’s highest individual honor, though, hardly means he’s decrying other top-tier candidates for the award while making his case. Embiid, in fact, has long made a habit of showering his luminaries […]

It appeared the Nets star didn’t like the phrasing at […]

The Brooklyn Nets might be able to win the championship with their currently available roster. But what if they could introduce a third All-Star to their lineup?
