‘WILT NEVER DID THIS!?’ 🤣 Joel Embiid on HISTORIC 70 PTS, 18 REB night | NBA on ESPN

You put up 59 in three quarters take us back to your mindset when you’re checking back into the game in the fourth what do you thinking yourself at that point uh close the game out honestly the game was still pretty close so uh obviously when you got the high

Hand and you want to close the game out you know that was my mindset and you know obviously closing the game out means being aggressive and you know playing what is defensively and offensively you know trying to get as many stops and you know trying to score

The ball so all you know make great classes so that was really my mindset I know you reading articles and listening to what is being said about the big fell wenyama there’s a part of you that had to say this is my building this is my

League I know you’re good but this is my time right now let me show you by my play was any of that in your head today big boy I mean I the big he’s amazing he’s great uh you know uh my opinion you know he’s up there as far as already the

Best players in the league so um obious obviously bright future um but you know I I I wouldn’t sit here and lie to you but you know but then again that’s also my mindset every single game uh it doesn’t really matter who’s in the building you know my mindset is attack

Dominate you know offensively and defensively so tonight was no different um I don’t think no opponent was you know anything so uh but you know that’s you know that just goes back to my mindset every single game compared to you know previous Seasons you know every

Single game there’s no letup uh no you know taking off uh any possessions and you just want to dominate yeah we’re seeing that this season you’ve absolutely dominated and what did it mean to do it here Joel We heard the crowd go crazy as soon as we started to

Think you were maybe checking back in what did it mean to do it in front of your fans here in Philly uh it feels great obvious said filler you know we’ve been through a lot and but you know this is nothing this is a this is just a another accomplishment obviously you

Want to get you know the whole thing and you know that’s what we walk into WS we got a long way to go um I don’t know how good we are you know we still trying to figure it out but you know the key for

Us is us to stay healthy and keep trying to play our best basketball and and then go from there what we’re seeing is unique it’s historical and we try to put it in perspective are you aware of some of the things that you’re doing out there in other words you get compare to

Wil Chamberlain what kind of perspective does that give you when you hear his name alongside yours uh I mean it’s great uh obviously you can compare errors and stuff but you know what he was able to do uh was amazing obviously he’s got all the workers so anytime

Someone bat his worker is like I me you must be doing something good so but you know you trying to you know the the like I said the goal is to be dominant every single every single game wherever that takes me sometimes it’s going sometimes it’s making plays for for other other U

My teammates too but you know you also got to give him you know credit to my teammates and coaches um you know that’s all out of high hand you know I got a lot of uh extremely unselfish guys and uh we just playing together so I mean

All the credit goes to them last note for you Joe we know you’re on a lot of boards with wilt and AI but now it’s you and MJ you and Michael Jordan the only NBA players to put up 65 points 15 rebounds and five assists in a game

What does that mean to you you and MJ baby what never did this no sir just just you and MJ how crazy is that I don’t believe that although you know some of those you know will wers uh you know we you know we still got to see but

I’m sure will he’s done it uh at some point uh he would probably just wasn’t recorded but it’s nice obviously you got you know some of the best basketball players to you know ever play basketball so you know you know to be in that class

You know it’s great um but like I said you know it it doesn’t really mean anything until you know you win the whole thing I think you know the whole conversation change changes about you know what people see about you U so that’s what I’m walking TOs and you know

Whether that happens or not you know I’m going to try until I can anymore well this is another great step in that direction Joel thanks for being awesome congrats on the 70 want try [Applause] I NBA is
