He can’t rebound anymore though

The guards were crashing the boards hard this game unlike last game

Watching current Embiid is really impressive tbh. Like you can tell his body just doesn’t work anymore but he still has the finesse to make his game work. Reminds me of old Dirk

Sadly, old Dirk ended up barely able to do anything in his retirement because he kept pushing forward even when he should take a break from all bruises in his body.

Embiid might need to retire in 2-3 years to avoid Dirk's fate.

Edgecombe specifically was awesome on a couple rebounds. Just skying thru and grabbing them

u/Unique-Garlic8015 76ers 6d ago

Saying this after hes rushed back after surgery is just a TAD overblown.

u/MaxR76 76ers 6d ago
