Damn Bron can still switch to the 5 spot
Joel Embiid wants to become a dominant defensive force
“I think a lot of it falls on me. If I want to be All-Defense like I used to be, that changes everything for our team. So if I can play that way every single night, which I will, changes everything.”
Embiid reducing his offensive workload and focusing on defense could be huge for his health.
They played the Kings twice in the preseason and the season opener against an injured GSW led by 38-year-old Curry

The narrative🤔
On October 6, 1993, just weeks before the start of the 1993–94 NBA season, Michael Jordan stunned the sports world by announcing his retirement from basketball at age 30. Exhausted from the grueling pursuit of a three-peat. (Selfish timing)
His departure stripped the Chicago Bulls of a towering 32.6 points per game and left the defending champions completely retooling on the fly. (SG P. Myers 7.6ppg his replacement)
The Bulls' 55-win achievement is even more staggering considering the heavy injury blows the roster absorbed throughout the year🤔
➤Pippen - the immense physical load caused him to miss 10 games due to chronic ankle and back issues
➤Cartwright - was plagued by severe knee and throat ailments, limiting him to just 42 games during the regular season
➤Horace - missed 12 games
All that said, Scottie Pippen Bulls were one bad call aways from getting back to the NBA Finals without Jordan.
➤➤ The controversial "0.8 seconds" referee call in Game 5 against the Knicks that altered the Bulls' playoff run.🤔
Jordan leaving the Bulls didn’t impact Chicago the way LeBron leaving Cleveland impacted the Cavs. That tells you everything about how much heavy lifting GOAT 🐐 James was doing. The difference between having a great team and being the system that holds the whole team together. 👑
