Breh had 17 and 12 last year. How many people outplayed him in his matchups last year. Go through his game log and numbers. Players like embiid and cousins and Davis who are the elite were only padding numbers when he was on the bench. He lost his first matchup with embiid but won the second. He's far from washed.

Yall be sounding silly referencing "today's NBA" for players who didn't even play in an "era" that had a drastically different climate in terms of rules, nutrition, etc.

I remember reading someone on here say something along the lines of "If Monta Ellis played in today's league...." :mjlol:

As if the game was just drastically different when he played all of 2 years ago. The game has been relatively the same circa '06..

You say that like prime Dwight wasn't a beast. He didn't even have a real post game and still was dropping 30 while being one of the great rim protecting centers. Very few centers in NBA history have been able to do that.

I cant wait to see him with the wizards if he's healthy. He got proper spacing, legit players next to him and a legit Pg. And what centers like capela, Steven Adams etc are doing...he's the prototype

Ironically he’s been running from that his whole career. He always wanted to show off his “post game” and “footwork”

Today is in reference to the players currently playing rather than any era. That was basically me saying that prime Dwight is better than all the centers in the league not named AD

Embiid is better

Dwight was a monster but he played against a worse crop of bigs

Of course Joel is better he’s younger & more athletic

Jordan played against the worst crop of NBA talent outside the 70s & early days but that doesn’t stop folks from always talking about him
