So, Giannis blocked Embiid 4 times….Iād say Giannis is the most important player in the East.

Letās whoās the best Kyrie, Embiid, Simmons, Giannis or Leonard. Siakam, Butler etc also their.
Now itās time to show up. Kyrie and Leonard are the only ones who have proven it!

People forget really fast. Giannis lost against a Celtic team without Kyrie Irving, so did the 76ers.
Leonard & Irving are proven stars, those others not yet. But all the 4 teams have a chance!

Jared Thomas
April 5, 2019 at 8:52 pm
The most IMPORTANT player is GIANNIS and it’s NOT EVEN CLOSE… He’s BY FAR the BEST in the EAST, the MVP, and the BEST in the WORLD… If he plays like he has been ALL YEAR, they are winning it ALL… WARRIOR STANS, don’t @ me

In other words, the title of this segment should be
*Which team declines more without their star player?*
My point is players like Kawhi wonāt be mentioned here because their team has a good record without them
Umesh Natesan
April 6, 2019 at 9:15 am
Smush Parker is the most important obviously

April 7, 2019 at 2:34 pm
Embiid and Giannas are the most important players in east infact both teams suck without these players mostly 76ers

April 7, 2019 at 11:16 pm
Gordon Hayward or Jayson Tatum?
