He repeatedly props up Embiid over Jokic even though Jokic is a better player at this point and it's not even close. Earlier this year when Embiid scored 70 points against a Spurs team who are a lottery team yet again, Stephen A said Embiid is sending a message that he's not here to play around. When Luka scored 60+ against Hawks, Stephen A brushed it off and Hawks defense was to blame for Luka going off. Moron acted like Embiid dropped 70 points on Minnesota's elite defense. Do you sense the common theme here? He just can't tolerate white skinned Euros dominating NBA.
