In the aftermath of Joel Embiid dropping his career-high 70 points against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night, the latest episode of Undisputed delved into a deeper discussion about the 6-time All-Star. While Richard Sherman asserted his belief that despite Embiid’s impressive scoring spree and an evidently better two-way prowess, he shouldn’t be deemed superior to Nikola Jokic , citing the Serbian’s team success. In response, Keyshawn Johnson passionately argued against this viewpoint.
“Joker just won last year, ” Johnson said. ” What I was saying though… I would take him (Embiid) over Joker, and I would’ve took him last year over Joker. If I was to put Embiid on the Denver Nuggets team with those players around him, Denver would’ve never missed a beat, man.”
