Kendrick Perkins is surely one of the most outspoken NBA Analyst, the former player makes it into the news on suggesting how Joel Embiid could win the MVP award. He suggests if Philadelphia 76ers’ marquee player is able to lose 35 pounds, he could be well on his way to win the MVP. Embiid is an exceptional player, but is yet to make a big leap. After being thrown out of the playoffs last season, Embiid has a lot to make up for.
New Head Coach Doc Rivers has already spoken about the importance of the big man. Kendrick Perkins spoke to Brandon Robinson on who he thinks is the best man as of today in the NBA. Perkins was quick to mention Joel Embiid’s name.
“If he loses 35 pounds, book the MVP going to Joel Embiid” Kendrick Perkins
Perkins said, “Well, Imma say this; Embiid is number one. Karl Anthony-Towns is number two, and Ayton is number three. That’s how I rank ‘em. And when you look at Embiid, he is a generational talent.”
Perkins believes in Embiid’s ability and called him a generational talent. He added, “And the only thing that’s holding Embiid back is his cardio and conditioning, that’s all. If he was to drop 35 pounds, you could book the MVP going to Joel Embiid. You can book that! If he was to get into shape. Like if he gets in shape, it’s OVER for the league.”
Embiid became an All-Star for the first time in 2018 and has been a perennial All-Star since then. The next year, Simmons joined him in the All-Star ranks. However, the two have not been able to translate their All-Star prowess into solid chemistry. With Dwight Howard, Danny Green and Seth Curry in the squad, Embiid can have the burden off his shoulders and can play more freely. Let’s see how the Philadelphia 76ers play, in particularly Joel Embiid as they face Washington Wizards on December 24.
