“It’s been a bad awakening for Joel Embiid.”
“He doesn’t fit and clogs up the offense.”
“He’s been anointed to something that he’s not.”
“He’s a 30-year-old with a mountain of injuries who has yet to prove that he doesn’t get in the way with other great players.”
“He doesn’t elevate others, and the Sixers have yet to win a second-round playoff series in the East, which is like the Big 12 of college football.”
“Jokic has never had a single teammate make an All-Star team and he’s already got a trophy.”
“Look at Embiid with the world’s best players – he gets in the way.”
“Jokic is a better player than Embiid and it’s not particularly close.”
“Embiid is the most overhyped and overdiscussed in the player in the NBA.”
“The FIBA rules don’t call as many fouls and he lives at the free throw line. You take that element out of his game at the Olympics – he's not only ineffective, he hurts the team.”
“We can now officially stop comparing Embiid and Jokic. Jokic is healthy, Jokic can be complementary and the star, and Jokic makes every teammate better. Let's not put Embiid in that class anymore.”

Check out the segment above as Colin details why he believes Embiid is the ‘most overhyped and overdiscussed’ player in the NBA, and a guy who will never win a championship as the team’s no. 1 option.
