To be able to beat many of the above stars to be voted the best of today, you can imagine what a great performance, yes! This person is Embiid.
As the playoffs approached, the emperor's form became more and more hot, and he used a "Kobe-style" extreme backlash to kill the Blazers in the last game.
In this game against the Wizards, in the face of Porzingis and Gafford's all-out encirclement and blocking, the emperor easily defused, the offensive and defensive ends finished the opponent's interior line, and ended the battle early in only three quarters of the game, winning five straight victories.

Now the emperor is expected to join Harden to make another history, making the 76ers the fifth team in NBA history to be teammates in scoring and assists. It also set a record in the league for nearly 41 seasons, becoming the first team to achieve this achievement in nearly 41 seasons.
With such a performance, there is no doubt that the emperor was elected the best today!
