Joel Embiid rejects comparison with Shaquille O’Neal

Joel Embiid has had a blast with the Philadelphia Sixers since the start of the season. But in the last three matches, the interior has a new partner: James Harden. And for the moment, this duo is doing very big damage: three victories and individual cards.

For two dominating stars, the 76ers want to dream big. And for several observers, this association can claim a destiny at the Kobe Bryant – Shaquille O’Neal (in the good sides). But for his part, the Cameroonian immediately refused this comparison.

“I’m Joel Embiid. I don’t play like Shaq, you know, I’m dominant in other ways. Physically, I’m not dominant like he was. You know, he was a monster when he was playing…obviously a Hall of Famer and one of the greatest of all time.

But I’m Joel Embiid. I dominate in other ways on the pitch, I do everything. James does the same as a scorer and playmaker.” judged Philadelphia’s talent in front of the press.

The style of the Sixers duo is indeed different. In his game alone, Joel Embiid relies a lot on his skill on the free throw line. Notably a huge 45/53 since his association with Harden.

It remains to be seen whether this tandem will be able to win NBA titles.
