Wait this isn’t a joke. My god. Say what you want about his playoff struggles(this year he was fine) he’s a top 5 player in the league every year. He is an mvp candidate every year. Sorry I love maxey but he’s not better then Embiid.

People are just incredibly prone to confirmation bias. “Embiid hasn’t had as much playoff success as the other guys in the top 8, therefore he must be incapable” is the bias.
Obviously there’s more than enough proof that he belongs in the top 5. Not one player in the NBA has Joel’s workload as a player, and the only guy close in Giannis is oft injured in the post season as well.
Edit: thought for sure they ranked Embiid 9th, not 19th. Lmao they think that Minnesota with Embiid instead of Gobert would be a worse team? Troll 💩

This makes me feel old because it shows that Reddit nephews who were weened on Embiid hate are now out in the real world with shitty listicle writing jobs.

Just looked and Embiid is ranked fifth?

Shocked he made single digits. Closer to 14-15 when you factor in the injury stuff, end of game struggles and overall being outta shape when you need him the most

Ranked based exclusively on their 23-24 performance, right? So, they knocked him way down because he missed half the season. Was there anyone else who missed a lot of games ranked higher?

“This ranking is based on actual player performance and how much/how often these players helped their teams. It was not based on how talented the players are or how impactful they were when healthy.
Think of it more like just flat out: What have you done for me lately?
If a player is elite when healthy but played in just 50 games this year, for example, they would be docked places in this list.”

LOL there is nothing to say.

It’s bullshit but at least they use some metric.
