Colin Cowherd: “Joel Embiid gets way too much press. If you go back to the Shaq title with the Lakers, it's been 18 years since there has been a true center who won a title… Tim Duncan was the greatest POWER FORWARD of all time, Kevin Garnett was a forward when he won one with Boston, and Dirk Nowitzki may look like a center but he’s a 3… I like Embiid’s talent but the league is changing and the center position’s future to me is the kid in Denver, who can take 8 shots and end up with 13 assists, 10 rebounds, and 15 points. I’m sorry but this is not the future of the league and it’s not winning championships. The NBA is all about wings and guards. We spend way too much time talking about Joel Embiid.” (Full Video Above)
Listen to Colin Cowherd explain why he thinks the true center position is close to becoming fully extinct, as he details the cruel reality of Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid.
Colin has long said the teetering Sixers, who are one of the NBA’s most disappointing teams this season, should part ways with Embiid to open up the floor for franchise pillar Ben Simmons, and went on to go so far in saying that Embiid really doesn't have a place in this modern NBA that overwhelmingly favors guards and wings.
Check out the video above as Colin explains why he doesn’t understand why Embiid gets so much press, and so much acclaim when his presence on the floor isn't coveted.
