“He’s done a lot for not just me, but the whole city of Philadelphia,” Joel Embiid told reporters. “When you think about everything that happened, and the losing seasons and, you know, to still come out on top and have the success that he had, that’s pretty cool… But I’m kind of glad I did it in front of him, so he can see the product of what he created.”

Last night was Embiid’s 21st consecutive game with at least 30 points, as he continues on an historic pace this season. He may not be eligible for the season MVP because of the amount of games he’s missed, but that doesn’t mean he can’t win the Finals MVP when it’s all said and done.
