The thing is people would LOVE embiid if he embraced being a 350lb big man and just bodied everyone like Shaq did instead of foul hunting and flopping all over the court everytime he takes some contact. I personally think he'd probably average even more points if he did that because there's a lot of teams who's big men arent heavy enough. Just look at this okc game.

I agree with you but tbf a lot more offensive contact was allowed back when Shaq was playing.

This guy has no fucking clue what he's talking about. Joel does not flop he plays the game the way he has to. When he first got in the league he tried to punish little guys in the post and all it led to were offensive fouls and flagrants.

I can always tell who actually watches basketball when they say shit like that.
