      Btw I have heard the same things when he teamed up with Butler, then Harden. The media said Harden and him were the new Shaq and Kobe? Yet, 0 conference final appearance so far. The 76ers are not going to win anything until they realize they have to get rid of Joel "cry baby sympathy MVP" Embiid.

    JB is always the one threatened by a trade, why does everyone say that Tatum as the most pressure? As far as the best big 3, I'm taking Tatum, Brown, and Porzingis over the field. I think the Celtics have an argument for the best 2 as well but that's not as clear. However, they have the best 3, best 4, and best 5.

    Both Joel and Jokic sound like foreigners, but Joel is playing for the USA and Jokic is not. Why is that? Don't they both have US citizenship but were born in a different country? Is it based on a choice to play for your country of birth or the USA? Does anyone have info on this?

    • @RajaAdou

      Cameroon didn’t qualify. Embid has been in the US since he was 15 and he lives here with his family full time.
      Joker has a work visa and doesn’t live in the US full time. There is no comparison. It’s really strange how much it bothers certain people.
