Joel Embiid is a great player and a generational talent, but what he did last night was absolutely insane. Embiid had probably the best game of his career and lead the Sixers to the victory last night against the Utah Jazz.
Embiid's stat line that he put up was arguably the best stat line that I've ever seen since I've been watching the NBA. He put up 59 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, and 7 blocks! Just to put up 59 points is a crazy stat and then to have those other numbers with the 59 points plus 7 blocks. Some players don't even get 59 points or 7 blocks in an entire season and he is doing this in just over 40 minutes.
Not only did he put up those stats last night, but the night before Embiid put up 42 points against the Atlanta Hawks. So in the previous 24 hours, Embiid put up a whopping 101 points against two solid teams in the Jazz and the Hawks.
He even outscored his own team last night, 59-46. Just absolutely ridiculous stats that keep on getting more ridiculous if you look further into it. Embiid has been in the MVP race for the past couple of years now after Nikola Jokic beat him out the past two years, is this finally his year?
He's certainly putting on a show and the fans love it. He's carrying his team to victories and doing it all without his superstar teammate James Harden. Although it has been a small sample size, Joel Embiid has certainly been one of the most, if not the most, dominant players in the NBA this season and he's only going to get even better as time goes on.
