I always knew Stephen A was to be trusted:

It’s a good point he’s making about James Harden’s arrival. Embiid has been just as dominant even with Harden in the fold. He average 30 and 13 in the month of March and 38 and 15 in five games played in April. He’s had four 40 point games since the trade deadline, so nobody should buy the idea that he’s had it easier since “Zoolander” Ben Simmons was moved. He’s been mostly the same player.

I think we’ve resigned ourselves to the idea that Joel isn’t gonna win this thing, based on extrapolation of the confirmed votes that have already come out. But Stephen A knows ball. He’s on the right side of history here. The rest of the NBA hates the process but Screamin’ A is a real one.
