Famed NBA center Hakeem Olajuwon expressed the opinion in a recent interview that Sixers leader Joel Embiid, with his size and dominant style, should not step up to the arc and shoot 3-pointers.
The Hall of Famer said he likes what Embiid does, but he thinks the big man`s focus on shooting instead of classic post play is wrong.
From the moment Doc Rivers took over the Sixers, the first thing he approached me with was an invitation to think about where I wanted to receive the ball. This used to happen in post all the time, but as I noted before, when you play this style the entire match, it`s not hard to get caught double-teaming.
It`s funny when all these veterans keep talking about three seconds. You need to be in the paint and everything. But these days, it`s no longer possible to win that way. It`s not the fucking 90s or 80s, things aren`t the same as they used to be. Apparently they don`t have any basketball IQ left anymore, " Embiid said in response.
