like the Bucks fans treat Giannis or Nuggets fans treat Jokic. Bro is #1 all time in points per minute, #3 all time in pts per game, and he’s the reigning MVP. He’s a big with GUARD SKILLS who can credibly score at all 3 levels. It’s exhausting wading through Sixer “fan” comments about the guy that range from back handed compliments at the nice end to outright slander on the other. Newsflash, when you’re looking at Embiid you’re likely to be looking at the best Sixer of your lifetime. And I wish we acted like it more often.

    Milwaukee and Denver are not used to greatness at this level. We have a high standard due to who has come before. That said, in my 50 years as a Sixers fan, I haven’t seen this level of love this consistently for a player without a title. He is greatly appreciated but it’s time to win

      Preach brother! All time greats legacies are usually established and remember based on playoff moments and performances. To outside, ppl see Joel in Ewing tier (not bad still HoFer) but a ring or dominant playoff run, ppl will put respect on his name and have him in Hakeem/Shaq/Joker tier

        Everyone knows Barkley was great. But he’s never in the conversation of the greats cause he never reached the top of the mountain.
