76ers’ Joel Embiid Shares an Incredible Record with Charles Barkley and Wilt Chamberlain

Joel Embiid is playing with a chip on his shoulder this season. Over the last few seasons, he has constantly been criticized for not leading the 76ers to an NBA title. However, in the 2021 NBA season, Embiid and the 76ers might just win it all.

So far, Embiid has been one of the best players in the league on both ends of the court. In fact, Embiid is making the case for being named this year’s regular season MVP. Embiid is averaging a staggering 28.3 points and 11.1 rebounds per game, all while shooting 54.4% from the field and 40.4% from beyond the arc.

“The Process” continued his impeccable form tonight as he led the 76ers to a comfortable 118-94 victory over the Timberwolves. Following his excellent game, Joel Embiid entered the 76ers’ history books.

He finished the game with 37 points along with 11 boards and became only the third player in Sixers’ history to average 35 and 10 over a five game span.

Apart from Joel, only NBA legends Charles Barkley and Wilt Chamberlain have managed to achieve this feat in their careers with the 76ers. But can Embiid continue his form when the playoffs arrive? We will find that out in the upcoming months.

Are Joel Embiid and the 76ers the favorites to clinch the Eastern Conference title?

This season, there is a cutthroat competition for the NBA Championship. While the West is as strong as ever, the East also has some of the best teams in the league. The 76ers are among the top teams that might represent the East in the 2021 NBA Finals.

As of now, Philly holds the no.1 seed in the conference with a 14-6 record after their first 20 games. But Philly are still struggling to find their touch away from home. In the nine road games they have played so far, they stand at 4-5.

If 76ers want to finally end their championship drought, they need to be consistent even when not playing at home. What are your expectations from the 76ers? Feel free to share your views in the comments section below.
