And literally none of this matters. Hes been doing this putting up unprecedented numbers for the last 3 seasons. Every game it seems like hes scoring 40 and 10 in three quarters. Yet we all know when it gets to the playoffs, that 35 hes scoring in the reg against scrub teams drops to 20-25 and in the crucial games he crumbles under the pressure.
Bro if he doesn’t get mvp for a 10 game streak with over 30 points idk how else to get it..
I guarantee they lose in the second round…Philly will fool everyone in the first round and get bounced in the second. I’ll bet my life savings 😁
The disrespect needs to stop! this season he's in wilt chamberlain stats! Hope he gets a chip!
42 and 14 in just 3 quarters
Nice to see Moses Malone get remembered. One of the greatest to ever play the game, that team with Dr. J was incredible. Good company you're keeping there, Joel–Moses and Shaq.
Any chance the hornets wanna make him shoot from somewhere different than the free throw line just an idea
What did hornets think was gonna happen when Gordon gaywood isn’t playing
Joel has more points than minutes played this season. Avg 34 pts and has sat out 9 4th quarters cause they blowing these terrible teams out.
Manipulation show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show show
the only big man with a very soft touch, shooting mid-range very smoothly!
bro that's it ??? is that easy ? every single point was the same play incredible
Very power & energy efficient basketball, ecomode embiid
Blah so many trash teams in the east , padding them stats

If the refs allowed Joel to be as physical as Giannis (AKA they don’t call charges and OFF fouls) he’d be clear of the field other than Jokic as the best player on the planet. Shoutout Nick Nurse too
Sure, they played the hornets but this is 100% the most casual 42 pt double double ive seen in a while
Embiid great job, MVP🏆🏆
You know hard it is to play in the NBA, he looks as if he was playing with kindergarten children…no disrespect to any NBA players, the dude was hot.
Eye test wise this is the best basketball player I ever seen in my lifetime but unfortunately he’s so bad in the playoffs, injury prone and never possess these type skills when he was younger.
If Embiid was better in the playoffs when he was younger, he could’ve been higher on the all time list but he’s been horrific in the playoffs. From an eye test standpoint, he’s doing things I never seen before like a big with Shaq type physicality and the footwork, ball handling & midrange like MJ & Kobe, just insane to see.
Only thing Joel doesn’t have is that explosive athleticism. Joel is great but he’s disappointing, he should’ve be doing these things when he was younger & perform better in the playoffs
“fraud mvp”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He winning mvp again
Joel looks way bigger than other players listed at his size.
Joel is truly a beast. Scoring. Rebounding. Defense. Winning. He just needs to make it to an nba finals a few times and will go down as a top 3 Sixer all time and a top 75 player all time in another 4 years from today. Barring no injuries.
Glad to see Moses Malone getting some love from the official NBA channel probably THE most underrated player of all time.
His rebounding has been noticeably way better
What did he tie them in
Black Hole is a way to another universe/A2 universe
Blade/Taids spread through air
I've never seen a centre/Big with as smooth a jumper as Joel's
Bro just got MVP chants in an away stadium bro 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bro is about to win MVP again
10th consecutive game with 30+ points
Watched this game at the arena and whole time Embiid looked like he wasn’t even trying or some plays he would be walking by the corner looking off into the crowd then would just slow jog in the paint get the ball and score at ease. He could’ve gotten 60 plus if they didn’t sit him. He was getting MVP chants from the Charlotte fans after one of his last buckets.
Embid loves getting to the free throw line he’s automatic from there
Jokic won two MVPs while doing nothing in the playoffs in those two seasons. So did Giannis, two MVPs without even a CF. They did of course go on to win the following years. MVP trophy has nothing to do with Finals. Embiid should be MVP again.
I swear thats like his 5th 40 point game in 3 quarters this season already- absolutely unreal
My guy was draining mid range jumpers like he's Chris Paul. But also, horrible defense by Charlotte lol
Keep breaking them records Jojo!
Man the game’s too ez for the big man it’s so boring to watch if it aint vs boston/bucks cause those are really the teams that can match these guy
Moses Malone is the most underrated player of all time, no questions asked
We are in the presence of a scoring machine… it is surprising how easy it is for Embiid to make 40-point games as if nothing had happened and that he averages 30 or more points for the third consecutive season… and the most incredible thing is that Embiid achieves all those statistics without playing more than 35 minutes per game, because normally he almost never plays the last quarter of the games,
Overrated , sorry ass schedule for real lemme see that boi against real bigs homie
So obvious against the weakass hornets
Like I said if he win another MVP and a ring, he will be the greatest sixers ever to me.
Embiid on a different level
Hope the Knicks get Embiid that would take them over the top for a ring
This is embiids year. See you in June
Embiid was doing this against elite teams in the beginning nobody said nothing but now it’s a problem
You want to know what separates Joel from everybody in the league except maybe Jokic. He is so dominate that it only takes him 3Qts. This means he affects the game at such a high level analytically compared to other players in the league. It takes long periods for Luka , gianiss and many others in the mvp race to do what embidd is doing in 30min or less. Jokic is the only one with similar stats. Embiid is a +9 when he’s on the court
