NBA on TNT reacts to Joel Embiid’s historic 70-point game

CAPITAL ONE’S THE MATCH. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THAT OUT. WE HAD OURSELVES A MATCH OF 60 POINT PERFORMANCES AND B WENT FOR 70 LAST NIGHT. KARL ANTHONY TOWNS WITH 62, IN A VERY SURPRISING L WE HAVEN’T SEEN 260 POINT PERFORMANCES ON THE SAME NIGHT SINCE 1978, AND IS 45 YEARS AGO. DAVID

THOMPSON, GEORGE GERVIN BEFORE THAT 16 YEARS. JERRY WEST AND WILT CHAMBERLAIN AND THE YEAR BEFORE. YEAH, WILT WILT DID IT AGAIN. I LOOKED IT UP. I WAS LOOKING AT THE 70 POINT PERFORMANCES . WILT HAD ONE ON NOVEMBER 3RD. HE HAD 72 VERSUS THE LAKERS AND THEN 13 DAYS

LATER HE HAD 73 AGAINST THE KNICKS. BUT UNBELIEVABLE FOR JOEL EMBIID TO DO THAT. UM, YOU DID A THING RECENTLY ABOUT THE BIG MAN ALLIANCE, AND I HAD SOME PRODUCERS TELLING ME THAT YOU DIDN’T HAVE EMBIID IN THE BIG MAN ALLIANCE, SO WELCOME TO THE BIG MAN ALLIANCE. JOKER AND

PEOPLE WERE LIKE, WHERE IS EMBIID? ARE YOU READY TO SAY RIGHT NOW THAT EMBIID IS IN THE BIG MAN ALIVE WHEN HE WINS YOU GET AUTOMATIC ENTRANCE TO THE BIG MAN. SO YOU NEED A CHAMPIONSHIP CHIP. YOU NEED A CHAMPION I DID NOT KNOW THAT. >> WELL WHY IS EWING ON THERE.

>> LET ME FINISH OKAY I WAS JUST WONDERING FOR A LARGE BODY OF WORK OKAY. >> SO HE’S WORKING HIS WAY TOWARDS IT. >> LISTEN, LAST NIGHT HE WAS SENDING A MESSAGE TO THE YOUNG FELLA. HE WAS SENDING THE MESSAGE TO THE JOKER. HE WAS SENDING THE MESSAGE TO

ME. HE WAS SENDING A MESSAGE TO THE WORLD AND SAYING, I AM THE BEST CENTER IN THE LEAGUE. HOWEVER IN THIS WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN, IN THIS GAME WE PLAY, WE MUST GET PAST THE SECOND ROUND INTO THE EASTERN CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP AND A WINTER CHAMPIONSHIP TO SOLIDIFY THIS YEAR. GOTCHA AS MY

UNCLE JEROME USED TO SAY, YOU CAN SCORE 50, 60 AND 70, BUT IF YOU WATCH SOMEBODY ELSE PLAY FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP, WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN? >> IS HE THE LEADER RIGHT NOW FOR MVP? >> OH YEAH. ALL DAY. HE’S IN THAT RIGHT. YEAH. ALL DAY EVERY DAY SINCE DECEMBER 1ST.

>> HE IS SHOOTING 57% FOR 82% FROM THREE. AND 90% FROM THE FREE THROW. HE’S TRYING TO GET THE BIG MAN ALLIANCE IN THE CLUB. >> LISTEN, WHEN IT’S ALL SAID AND DONE HE WILL DEFINITELY BE IN THERE OKAY. ALL RIGHT. GOOD >> UH 16 AND TWO THE SIXERS ARE SINCE THANKSGIVING WITH

EMBIID. AND HE SCORED 70 IN 30 SEVEN MINUTES. WHICH IS THE FEWEST MINUTES IT’S EVER TAKEN TO SCORE 70. >> HE WAS ON FIRE LAST NIGHT . >> IT WAS COULDN’T MISS. AND HE DID IT WITH ONE THREE. >> AND HE COULD HAVE HAD MORE POINTS TO BE HONEST.

>> LIKE IF HE STAYS IN THAT GAME, IF HE IF THE RECORD’S NOT AN ISSUE AND HE JUST WANTS TO STAY IN THERE, HE COULD HAVE GOT 4 OR 6 MORE POINTS. EASY LIKE THE WAY HE WAS ROLLING, IT WAS EASY AND THEY WERE IN THE BONUS. SOME FREE THROWS.

>> I TEXTED YOU GUYS BECAUSE IT WAS AGAINST WEMBY AND PEOPLE WERE LIKE, OH, HOW’S THE RIVALRY GOING TO BE? AND IT BROUGHT YOU BACK TO A TIME EARLIER WHEN IN YOUR CAREER, YOU’RE WITH A BIG ROOKIE TAKING YOU ON FOR THE FIRST TIME? >> WELL, I THINK SOMETIMES IT’S ABOUT THAT COMPETITION

RIGHT? LIKE YOU ARE AN ESTABLISHED PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE AS EMBIID WAS, UH OH SIMILAR. >> UH OH. >> LIKE STEWIE COMING IN THE LEAGUE. SHE WON FOUR NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS. >> CP YOU WELCOME STEWIE, BUT I DIDN’T WELCOME HIM LIKE EMBIID. >> EMBIID HAS 70. >> WHAT’D YOU DO THIS GAME I

DON’T EVEN REMEMBER I THINK I HAD 30. YEAH I HAD 30. THERE WE GO. >> OH GOOD. OH WE GOT AN OFFENSIVE FOUL MAN. >> THEY CALLED AN OFFENSIVE FOUL ON THAT. BUT BUT I THINK AS A ESTABLISHED CENTER IN THE LEAGUE EMBIID THERE’S SOMETIMES YOU GOT TO PROVE YOURSELF. AND YOU GOT

TO SAY LIKE I UNDERSTAND WEMBY YOU’RE HERE. BUT IT’S STILL MY TIME. WE’VE SEEN STEPH DO IT TIME AND TIME AGAIN TO TRAE YOUNG WHO IS THE FUTURE YOU KNOW OF THE FUTURE OF CARRYING ON THE THREE POINT SHOT. SO I, I JUST SAT BACK AND WATCHED GREATNESS LAST NIGHT BECAUSE

I THINK THE GAME IS IN GREAT HANDS. WE’RE TALKING ABOUT EMBIID, WHICH WE SHOULD. HE HAD 70 BUT WEMBY HAD 33. YEAH. SO I THINK THE GAME ISN’T GOOD ENOUGH. >> YOU SAID WHAT WEMBY IS 33 WASN’T GOOD ENOUGH. NO NO I’M TALKING ABOUT JUST SHAQ. >> HE’S GOING TO GET SOME

POTENTIAL TWO TIME HERE. >> YOU CAN’T LET NOBODY HIT 70 ON YOU. NOW IT’S IS NULL AND VOID I DON’T WANT TO HEAR THAT. >> WHAT’S THE MOST YOU GIVING UP ME. >> YOU NOT KNOWN FOR DEFENSE I DON’T KNOW, BUT YOUR OFFENSE WAS YOUR DEFENSE. HE

HAD A GOOD GAME, BUT I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT. OH, HE HAD 33. NO, YOU CAN’T LET A MAN GET 70 ON YOU. >> HAVE YOU EVER SEEN SOMEBODY, LIKE, DROP 50? AND THEN THE NEXT NIGHT YOU WERE LIKE, I NEED TO GO BIG, TOO. >> OH, ALL THE TIME. I USED

TO DO IT LIKE WHEN I WAS CHASING THE SCORING TITLES, I WOULD ALWAYS PAY ATTENTION TO DAVID ROBINSON. UH, YOU KNOW, ALLEN IVERSON, YOU KNOW, GUYS. GUYS LIKE THAT. HOW ABOUT YOU? >> I’VE SEEN IT ONCE. >> OKAY, WHAT WAS THE SITUATION? >> SITUATION WAS MY BROTHER BRANDON ROY, YOU KNOW, IN

SEATTLE WE ALL ROOT FOR EACH OTHER. BUT IT’S THE COMPETITIVE THING. AND HE PUSHED ME. I WOULD LIKE TO THINK I PUSHED HIM AND HE SCORED 52 AGAINST THE SUNS. I WAITED A DAY AND THEN DID IT AGAIN. SCORE 50. YEAH IT WAS A GAME WITHIN THE GAME.

IT WAS A GAME WITHIN THE GAME. >> SO THE WHOLE DAY LEADING UP TO IT, YOU WERE LIKE, I NEED TO. >> YEAH, HE HAD 52 AND HE WAS GETTING TOO CLOSE. I ONLY HAD 150 POINT GAME AT THAT TIME I BELIEVE. NO, I HAD TWO. AND I SAID OKAY. HE

GOT ONE NOW I GOT A GOOD ONE. AND THE NEXT NIGHT I WENT BACK AND GOT 50. NOBODY KNOWS THIS STORY. THIS IS UNTOLD STORIES RIGHT HERE, UNTOLD, UNTOLD STORIES. >> NO ONE KNOWS THAT. >> THAT’S THE REASON YOU WERE MOTIVATED. >> THAT’S THE REASON I WAS MOTIVATED.

>> I GOT A STORY TO TELL YOU ABOUT MY RED FERRARI ONE DAY. >> SAVE THAT FOR LATER. DID YOU CALL UP BRANDON ROY IF YOU GUYS KNEW WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT IN THE COMMERCIALS? DID YOU CALL UP BRANDON ROY AFTERWARDS AND BE LIKE, I GOT YOU.

>> HE SENT ME A TEXT AFTER AND HE SENT ME A SMILEY FACE AND I SENT HIM BACK A WINK SO WE KNEW WHAT IT WAS. YEAH. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. >> THE GAME HERE IS THIS, YOU KNOW, YOU WERE 2008, 2008. DID THEY HAVE SMILEY FACE IN 2008? >> OH YEAH, THEY DID.

>> THEY DID. YES THEY DID. >> SHAQ FACE. YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN LIKE I
