Everybody is talking about LeBron James, but I've been watching Joel Embiid. LeBron broke Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's career scoring record, but Embiid also broke Hall of Famer Wilt Chamberlain's record of 68 points. Both achievements are significant milestones in the history of the NBA and showcase the talent and skill of these two players.

LeBron may be number one but Embiid is making a case for being the best player in the league right now. He's a force on both ends of the court and showcasing his scoring ability. He plays like a monster blocking shots, making step back moves , pump bakes, and rebounds. Embiid is showing his defensive skills.So while LeBron may be getting all the attention, don't sleep on Joel Embiid. He has impressive performance.

Joel Embiid has a record of 6 to 3 versus LeBron James in his career. So keep your eyes on Joel Embiid. He's a monster on the court.
