The Minnesota Timberwolves player shined on NBA night and the stars reacted to the victory.
The world is constantly being talked about incredible night by Joel Embiid, who ended up scoring 70 points in the Philadelphia 76ers’ win over the San Antonio Spurs, in what is meant to be the first meeting between the Cameroonian, the final MVP of the regular season, and Victor Wembanyama, who is expected to win the rookie of the year award. It is not an easy process for those from the East, despite being one of the top candidates in the conference. They had to work hard to set 133 to 123.
As with the fans, Embiid’s performance went unnoticed by the NBA’s own stars. The 70 points are all the rage and great stars like Kevin Durant and Lebron James react to the historic event.
The current player of the Phoenix Suns had an important night for him, as he converted the winning shot to help his team defeat the Chicago Bulls 115 to 113. At the press conference, he was asked about Embiid’s victory, which was very happy way. He was speechless at first, and then shyly asked: “Seventy? He went to seventy? Wow.“After a minute of pondering the league’s present, he concluded: “In my opinion, this is the peak of basketball”.
Lebron James, for his part, took to social media to congratulate Embiid for his performance. On the eve of the matchup against the Clippers, the Lakers star wrote: “70 PIECE NUGGET!!!! Joel Embiid. CRAZY.” Another historic player like Kevin Garnett said the 76ers player is on his way to his second straight MVP.
