O Neal: Embiid was once as famous as Jokic and now he is far behind. He is no longer among the top centers.
When participating in the podcast "The Big Procast" a few days ago, O'Neal talked about the topic of Embiid, Jokic and the league's top centers.
O'Neal said: "He (Embid) is no longer in the league's top center discussion. He has fallen off the list. You can tell him that I said this. As far as I know, he and Jokic were even equal two or three years ago, but now Jokic is far ahead of him. This is so disappointing. I hope he can hear these words. , I hope he will be angry, I hope he can play dominantly, but that is not the case. I don’t think people understand the purpose of my criticism of players. When I criticize players, they always feel that I am taking it personally, but I just want to motivate them, so if I say something and you start to refute, I know you are soft, super soft.”
