I mean they had a larger sample than someone like WCJ has.

They played 15 times overall, 12 times since 2017.

Excluding the one game where he played only 10 minutes he averaged 18.3/10/5.3/1.7/0.4 on 47/23/84 shooting splits in 11 games since 2017.

Since 2021 he averaged 22.7/11.3/7/1/0.7 and 2.7 turnovers on 42.6/22/88 shooting splits.

Aka not good relative to his normal production.

I’m about 99% sure this was a bait question by a sixers fan lol.

Embiid is 5-2 vs Jokic in his career and Jokic has averaged 21.9/8.9/7.4/1.1/1.1 with 3 turnovers a game against the Sixers on 51/32/84 shooting splits.

The games date back to 2016. If you remove the first game when he only was just starting out his stats actually get worse 21.3/9.2/8/1.3/1.3 and 3.5 turnovers on 48.5/32/85.7 shooting splits.

It’s even more crazy he did it at that time.

The league talent might be better today, but coaching/health and recovery/accommodations in terms of flights/hotels/etc(and yes shit accommodations would lead to more fatigue, especially back in the 60s), and most importantly the rules all were far less favourable back then.

People talk about zone defense a lot because Jordan himself said it would have hindered him, but a lot of the rule changes and changes to the way the game is called(dont call travelling/carrying violations, footwork violations, moving screens) would have all allowed him to be even more dominant offensively.
