Jesus Christ Embiid had a prime Harden-esque scoring week
Zion’s first POTW
In 5 years Zion is going to be in the GOAT conversation alongside MJ!

What 2 games against the Phoenix Suns does to a mf
43 PPG is crazy
#1 in the West baby!!!
33ppg on 70% Fg is NASTY WORK.
Ever had so much thickness win the award the same week?
Aye wassup, how y’all doin today?
Joel Embiid doin all that to save Glenn’s job is hilarious.
Just a center averaging 44ppg nothing to worry about
some real hosses this week, love how big dudes are killing it right now
As someone who had to watch Zion treat my team like little boys not once but twice last week, I will say this is well deserved.
Happy for Zion, deserves all this praise and more. Keep going Big Fella, BI and Herb will be back this week
A win for lovers of Big meaty men bumpin meat
Two guys that had injuries sideline them for most of their first few years in the league, happy to see them both doing what they’re doing
How the f do you average 44 points in a week lol. I’m tired trying to score 44 points in a gym by myself.
Thicc bois get it done
I fucking love seeing Zion healthy. Can’t wait until the sixers play the pelicans, it’s gonna be fun watching him vs embiid.
If Zion regresses and they start picking up Ls when Ingram comes back, then they should strongly consider trading Ingram.
