Quick answer: no
BunnsofsteelПре дан
Everyone keeps talking about Giannis like he's the answer to Embiid or something. He doesn't even guard him and Embiid averages 27 points against Milwaukee.

The bucks literally have the dpoy who is also kind of a Big. So yeah the bucks can

No.

Jokers like Stephen a smith, Mike wilburn , Chris broussard are hunting for a reason not to give Simba Embiid that MVP trophy 🏆.I hope these caucasian brothers can offset that venom coming from those so call brothers towards Mr. Embiid!

Once upon a time, a man named Giannis Antetokounmpo was in the East. And could lock up anyone

There is absolutely no one that can guard Embiid one on one he’s to large/strong and skilled. i watch every single 6er game he sees more doubles as soon as he catches the ball than any player in the league if you don’t double him with slick weak side help calls etc he’s easily scoring 40+ every night

Can’t believe Giannis isn’t mentioned once here. He’s the reigning DPOY and back to back MVP. The amount of media attention Giannis gets when they aren’t trying to push him out of Milwaukee is embarrassing. What a joke saying Bam can guard him better than Giannis

Maybe not one on one in most scenarios but teams can shut them down if you have a smart coach and good defensive players. There are some teams with that.

Just like prime Shaq, you don't defend Embiid. You go man to man for Embiid but defend everyone else on the team and challenge Embiid to score 40-50 points every night.
wade is so oldПре 3 дана
Heat would use this strategy. Brad Stevens would too
wade is so oldПре 3 дана
Either that or double. Honestly the former strategy is better because when you double your giving the lesser players easier shots like open layups dunks or 3s. Make embiid shoot jumpers and throw up 30-35 shots even if he hits 50 he’s not getting anyone involved and their offense becomes predictable and stagnant. Lots of one and done possessions too which lead to easier transition buckets

When dudes like harden and kyrie draw those fouls it really isn’t that big of a deal but when embiid does it. It hurts the other team so much because he so easily puts other teams big men In foul trouble and it really handicaps their entire defense

But the game already evolved.. don’t need really to defend the dominant bigman too much, I believe you just have to neutralize their team by burning them with your teams spacing and efficient 3pt bombs.. as the nets is showing now a days
FabreezПре 5 дана
The scary thing about Embiid is he’s a good free throw shooter. He’s not Shaq or Giannis where you send him to the line to slow him down. The dude is literally doing what Harden does and that’s purposely getting to the line. It may not be pretty or sportsman like to some people but he’s getting points and that’s all that matters to him.

Marc gasol locked him up in 2019

He had 9/19 from the field and 20 (!) free throw attemts... He's averaging 12 free throws per game.. more than any player by far... of course he averages 29points per game with so many freethrows...
