Joel Embiid

Joel Embiid’s dominance has officially reached a point where not even a double team is enough. Commanding the attention of every one of the Minnesota Timberwolves’ defenders, Embiid remains calm, neutralizing a double-team attempt with a pass fake before spinning over his back shoulder on the way to a powerful one-handed slam. Unbothered by the matchup against a top-tier opponent, the reigning Most Valuable Player put together 51 points — the seventh 50-point game of his career — along with 12 rebounds, two steals, and a block, ensuring the Philadelphia 76ers an impressive win on December 20, 2023.
