I DONT GET IT.

HE ALREADY LOOKED DOMINANT
AS A KID WHO WAS JUST LEARNING
BASKETBALL.


:devil:
:evil:



He dribbled past the rim :dead:
Yeah, but he was bigger than everyone. There are a lot of kids who look dominant in high school and show more elite skill than this who didn’t pan out. It just shows how much he worked on his game because he was far from polished here.

MAYBE YOU DONT REALIZE HE DIDNT
START PLAYING BALL UNTIL HE WAS 15...

THIS IS JV SO HE COULDNT HAVE BEEN
PLAYING FOR MORE THAN A YR IN THIS CLIP
AND ALREADY LOOKED GOOD.

PRETTY MUCH LETS YOU KNOW
HE WAS GONNA BE A BEAST.

I know. I’m just saying how he was still very raw here, but to make it to where he got, he had the work ethic to keep improving and wasn’t just a kid who relied on being bigger than everyone. I bet someone like KAT probably looked better at the same age when he was in high school (with even more experience), but he never got to Embiid’s level.

Going by this, you’d never expect him to be an MVP and a leading scorer in the NBA


:dahell:

You act like he was looking like a scrub in this :russ:

But i get what you mean by reading your follow up post :ehh:

It ISSSS wild though from that clip to what he became in like less than 5 years. Wild progression
