He's basically Hakeem reincarnated with bad knees.

The Tiger crowd often points to the fact that Nicklaus played a lighter load of tournaments and focused more exclusively on the majors. Tiger has 82 PGA Tournament victories to Jack's 73.
But, yeah, there's not a more dramatically clear example of an athlete's career getting abbreviated by injuries that are his fault (not the sports') than Tiger's.

such a shame saw him in person a few times just before his fall from grace. He was so dominant for the best part of a decade It still beggars belief that there isn't a bigger shadow of using PEDs over him when his body changed so dramatically over such a short period of time

maybe a little less agile but yeah not far off it
Yeah, bad knees will do that to your agility.

Embiid is absolutely a PF posing as center. Just look at how many paint touches he has. On a per game basis, only 4.8 out of his 71 touches in total were in the paint. That's good for 6% of his total offense. And that's coming from his prime MVP season. If you watch his game just a bit closer he plays nothing like a center. More like a Dirk nowitzki type who initiates offense from the elbow or even out on the perimeter.

And likewise it's extremely difficult to have an intelligent conversation when you are just nitpicking some of the most random things I said (that was true btw) then ignore everything else I said including my main argument.

Does embiid stay away from the paint on defense though? Since we are talking about jokic offense then the discussion would be concerning dudes who guard him.Embiid is absolutely a PF posing as center. Just look at how many paint touches he has.

Yeah he's a 5 on defense but we are talking about offensive skillset though. And I do believe sixers had the right idea when they signed Horford but they pivoted way too fast and didn't really give enough time for the twin tower to mesh. It was like us getting rid of Mike after his first season. And its not like Horford was bad for them either. Not having an “Aaron Gordon” burnt Embiid and now his leges are totally cooked.
