One of the largest storylines final season was the epic duel for MVP between Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid.
Now, one other outstanding NBA huge man has spoken on the rising rivalry between the 2.
Speaking on a latest episode of the Gil’s Arena Show, Indiana Pacers huge man Myles Turner mentioned the distinction between attempting to protect Jokic and Embiid.
“When Jokic goes out there, he’s like literally painting himself on that canvas,” Turner mentioned. “He’s doing every thing, he’s getting folks concerned, he doesn’t have to attain to truly have an emphasis on that sport…
“If a guy is coming at you and just dominating, like a Shaq type of presence, a Joel Embiid type of presence, just dunking, that might do a little something to your mentality, but you also know the team has your back,” Turner mentioned. “If [Shaq or Embiid] is in the post, it’s like, ‘Okay, we can just double him real quick.’ You can’t double Jokic.”
Turner added that guarding Jokic “would piss (him) off a little bit more,” whereas he believes that he can deal with Embiid one-on-one.
Brandon Miller’s NBA profession hasn’t even begun but and already he’s raised loads of eyebrows.
That could be placing it frivolously, contemplating in faculty police claimed he handed a teammate the gun that was used to kill somebody. He then proceeded to do his “pat down” introduction even after the homicide.

The Hornets rookie has since responded to the video, claiming it was all one huge troll.
“I know who Khris Middleton is,” he said on NBA TV. “I think people should have more fun in the NBA instead of just always [being] serious. I think I can bring the fun back to the game. I troll the media for fun.”
It’s onerous to make certain whether or not Miller needs to be believed, however both method, it appears unlikely that this would be the final unusual factor we hear from him.
