A true 7 foot 5 star recruit is pretty damn rare. I don't think people realize just how ****ing special Embiid was.

I think it was Embiid's second exhibition game against Washburn or someone and he had a play where he ran full speed down the floor, jumped in stride and dunked an alley-oop thrown from the 3 point line.
I said immediately after that play that I had never seen a man his size do something so athletic.
Some people mocked my evaluation and I think they could feel my eye's rolling through their computer screens.
