Joel Embiid and the game never seen in the NBA

Cameroon center of the Philadelphia Sixers, Joel Embiid, is determined to enter the MVP race. If the initial predictions did not include him in the top 5 (Antetokounmpo, Doncic, Ja Morant, Donovan Mitchell and Devin Booker), last weekend he entered the fight to be the League’s Most Valuable Player in a big way. Embiid let loose with a game never seen before in the Sixers’ victory over the Jazz (105-98). The huge performance of the stud included 59 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists, 7 blocks and one steal. He is the first player in history to go over 50 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 blocks in a single game..

Embiid scored 26 of the Sixers’ 27 points in the fourth quarter and he did it with exceptional percentages (19/28 on field goals and 20/24 on free throws). For many minutes the possibility of reaching quadruple (10 or more in four different game disciplines) was even discussed. The performance against the Jazz came 24 hours after another recital against the Atlanta Hawks. Harden’s loss “forced” Embiid to add 42 points against the Georgia State team.
