    Only way you take Embiid over jokic is if you are racist. Flat out.

    That’s like taking Lamar Jackson over mahomes. Flat out stupid and racist.

    Jokic is WAY BETTER and deep down Stephen A knows it

    Embid has a rotation door of Allstars ben butler Harris harden so on and so on while joker biggest name they traded for is Gordon amd they have a ring

    Stephan A is the type of dude to take Killian Hayes over luka. This crusade to have black players just be the truth is crazy. Don’t get me wrong, the best in history have been black players and there is no question but come on Joker is the most dominate player today and he proves it with a legit championship this past year. Embid can’t even get past the first round of the playoffs and he takes him over joker. This crazy take is crazy.

    Honestly Stephen annoyed everyone and behave like immature children.😂

  13. @matthewhiggs9005

    February 1, 2024 at 5:40 pm

    Of course he does….. just like he picks Ayton over Luka LOL
    Does anyone listen to this prat????

    Stephen A talks nonsense and hates giving praise to a white NBA player

    Embib doesn’t make anyone better … FACT!!!

    Jokic is millions better

  14. @matthewhiggs9005

    February 1, 2024 at 5:43 pm

    LOL so we are judging someone’s calibre now on their potential LOL

    Stephen A hasn’t a clue and acts like he’s an NBA guru

    Whos that girl ?

  17. @TheGoogergieger

    February 1, 2024 at 6:13 pm

    Jokic is literally the only player to lead the entire playoffs and finals in points, assists, and rebounds and this literally happened last year. What the hell is the counter argument?

  18. @Obfluss.S

    February 1, 2024 at 6:22 pm

    Here’s the man who GOES BALLISTIC on players skipping games because of injuries or related concerns.
    SAS blasted players for not being durable. Yet he tries to dwarf one of the most durable NBA superstars with the hypothetical “fully healthy” Embiid.
    Stop that “o he’s not fully healthy” excuse for Embiid’s abysmal post-season track record. It’s not like he had proved himself when he was “healthy”.
    Clown just flat-out contradicted himself in the same segment.

    Don’t let Stephen A fool you with this Embiid not scoring is a non issue, we all remember his rant when Joel Embiid had ZERO POINTS against the raptors

      Exactly

    Taking Embiid over Jokic is stupid. Embiid is great in the regular season but a choker in the playoffs. Jokic is never a choker. Jokic is obviously better. Jokic should’ve been the MVP in 2023

  21. @lukacalov1988

    February 1, 2024 at 11:05 pm

    Same story every year
    All these “analysts” sayin Embiid over Jokic is asenine

  22. @ryanrowe1975

    February 2, 2024 at 1:49 am

    Jokic>Embiid

    like a knight who can slay 80 men per battle and dies in 10th battle VS a knight who can slay 65 men per battle, will survive until the 20th battle and be ready for 21st.

    embiid is better? but he is never healthy?
    what we are talking about now is the embiid of the real world. surely embiid can be better in your dreamworld SAS but he aint better than jokic in the real world.

    the 100% healthy embiid of your dreams that can last 90+ games a year, i would love to see that. unfortunately we dont have tech yet that can make your videos out of your imagination.

    I can’t stand some of these Embiid apologists. He quit on his team many times. And we don’t how injured he actually was when sitting out at times. There are other players that play through actual injury.

    Right now in they career jokic better than embiid ,but in this season embid better than jokic
