    Embiid. Barkley didn’t raise the floor like Embiid has.

    I feel old for this sub and even I barely remember watching him play here. I do remember my family talking about him.

    Embiid is a better player. Only argument against him is health. Valid but also… doesn’t affect my opinion.

    Barkley – there was a time when there was an argument who was better between him and Jordan. Joel has the better skill set but Barkley was healthier and was mentally stronger

    Interesting that Barkley only made it past the second round once in his 8 seasons in Philly – and it was his rookie year, when he only started 2 playoff games. His teams were largely dogshit here though. His last season here, his center was Charles shackleford and his second best player was maybe Gumby Gilliam or Hersey Hawkins? Yikes.

    Ugh. Those Barkley-Bradley uniforms were so bad.

    Embiid. Barkley was an amazing player, but he was not nearly as talented as Embiid. Your floor with Embiid is a playoff team. Your floor with Barkley is the purgatory of late lottery.

    With injuries turned off Joel and it ain’t close

    Embiid better, but Barkley more consequential.

    I love embiid but this sub is nuts if you guys are thinking this is a no brainer.

    Barkley took a significantly less talented roster to NBA finals, and only stayed champion-less because he couldn’t get past the jordan dynasty.

    Embiid hasn’t even proven he can take us to an ecf appearance lol. Trae young hawks…injury depleted knicks..meltdowns vs the Celtics…yall crazy

    I’d take Barkley without a second look and sleep like a baby.
