    Will Joel Embiid Become A Historically Great Center?

    After two foot surgeries, multiple setbacks and two long years of trusting the process, 2016-2017 finally marked the beginning of Joel Embiid’s NBA career… and he hasn’t disappointed. In a draft class that included Andrew Wiggins and Jabari Parker Embiid is making the case that, although he was the third overall selection, he may be the top talent from that draft class.

West played in the era before there was a three point line, but that didn’t stop him from averaging over 30 points four different seasons. West to this day is still one of two players in the history of the NBA to average 40 points throughout an NBA postseason. The other? Michael Jordan.

Granted, a majority of his time in the league he was paired with another star (who’s higher on this list). Stockton never was able to finish off a season with a title, thanks to a Chicago team that got in the way. Since retiring from the league following the 02-03 season, Stockton still lead

    Is Chris Paul the Greatest Point Guard of All-Time?

    It’s something that is never even brought up, let alone discussed, but… Could Chris Paul be the greatest point guard in NBA history? At first thought, my instinct tells me that, of course he is not. That would be Magic Johnson. Even after Johnson, CP3 is competing with the likes of John Stockton, Isiah Thomas, Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, Oscar Robertson, and the list goes on and on. Furthermore, he really hasn’t made much noise in any of his eight playoff appearances. But let’s t
