Joel Embiid's ability to get the free-throw line is talked about a lot but I don't think it's appreciated enough. He's one of the best ever at getting to the line.
He's attempting 16.4 FTs per 100 possessions this year, (16.7 last year). This is only behind 2001 Shaq (17.4)!
Everyone knows this but, again, statistics should never be the point of comparison between players. Statistics are a function of the player and their context, not just the player. It's very easy to manipulate stats. They're not nearly as informative as people make them out to be
@KGsGOAT Too many times do we see him enter the frame when the team has already taken a shot. This might apply to other offensive bigs too. If they're even just a bit late it can cause defensive breakdowns and lack of rim protection. Picking up players in transition is difficult enough
@KGsGOAT I feel Anthony Davis counters the perimeter offensive player specification (only player I've watched much of to say this about). While he scores well crashing the glass (disregarding stats), he almost always gives up the offensive team an advantage by being too slow to come back
Managers and coaches do this all the time. They want the players to be prepared incase they have to come on. Most players are asked to warm up several times a game without being subbed on. It's very normal
Certain fans act like Cristiano is bigger than futbol
The Ronaldo discourse is horrible. I can't believe people are defending him for his actions. I'm not sure what happened but the things he does (not only today) are not justified at all
ETH is not disrespecting him in any way. It's the other way round

Cristiano Ronaldo has been Super professional this season, Ten Hag has shown nothing but disrespect to him.
Made Ronaldo warmup 2 Times only to bring Elanga on, happened in Liverpool game as well where he brought Martial and Fred before him.
