I have wondered what it was like to watch Wilt Chamberlain, capable of everything that can be done in a basketball court, manage not to win so many playoff games.You’re preaching to the choir here.
IMO, he’s big Harden. The type of player he is on the court doesn’t win. He relies heavily on grifting and getting a favorable whistle. If he doesn’t get it, he whines, make dirty plays, and turtles.
I’m down on Tatum compared to this board but I am so happy I never have to root for someone like Joel. He’s a loser
Watching Embiid, I think I better understand it now.
And to be clear---I like Embiid MORE than I did a year ago. He has been a warrior this season, playing through injury and spectacularly last game. He has nothing physically this playoffs and he's gutting it out. But his overall track record also is what it is.
I don't have malice towards him---his social media presence was witty and awesome, and he seems like a thoughful and passionate guy. But the on-court version lets you down so so often....
