“Yeah, you suck”: Joel Embiid Gets a Backhanded Compliment from Tyrese Maxey After Earth Shattering Performance
Joel Embiid was unstoppable tonight. The Jazz were on cruise control but they met the Cameroonian in the form of his life having what could possibly be the game of his life. For all we know, it could even be the game of the NBA.
He broke so many records that it was hard to keep track and sent a few benchmarks on the way. Is there a center that plays the game better than him currently? Hard to say for sure. Tonight though, he was in a league of his own.
His performance was nothing short of supernatural. The NBA took notice and it is time for us to dissect his 50-piece.

Embiid was on a heater tonight. 59 points, a career-high and a franchise-high. There was nothing anyone could do to stop him. Joel also put up 11 rebounds, 8 assists, and a whopping 7 blocks. Becoming the first to touch those numbers.

To truly understand the hilarity of his greatness. Here is a stat breakdown. Bonkers.
This is how insane Embiid’s night is.
He is the first player with 55 points and 5 blocks since blocks were tracked in 1973.
The thing is he had 59 points, 7 blocks PLUS 11 rebounds and 8 assists.
Just absolutely insane. pic.twitter.com/Y5lk29pOcg

And the best part? He did this just the night before. Embiid scored 101 points in 2 days. A good day at the office we suppose.

“Yeah, you suck!” Maxey goads Embiid
The best moment, however, came when Maxey and Embiid were bonding with each other. During the post-game interview, Tyrese jumped on Joel.
And as Joel was talking about his woes from the free throw line, Maxey, simply said “yeah, you suck”. Just a tinge of insult to humble him. The brotherly love between the two is at its best. And the Sixers might have unlocked a whole new level to Joel’s game.
Embiid: “I missed too many free throws.”
Maxey: “Yeah, you suck.”
😂😂

As they pick up the pace, it is yet to be seen how good they can become. But with Embiid in form like this, it is hard to bet against them. MVP candidate? You bet.
