00:00 A historic night in the NBA. 70 points scored by Joel Embiid last night in Philadelphia
00:07 and his 76ers a double-digit victory. It was a big man battle between the reigning NBA MVP
00:14 in Embiid facing Victor Wembenyama in the San Antonio Spurs for the first time. A great moment
00:21 before the game even tipped last night Donnie as they came out on the floor for layup lines
00:26 right before we got the tip and Joel Embiid who is seven feet tall walks past the seven foot four
00:33 Victor Wembenyama and even goes oh that guy is pretty tall but it was Embiid that got the best
00:40 of Vic last night who had 33 of his own but the celebration is for Embiid. 70 points a Philadelphia
00:48 76ers franchise record the most points scored in the NBA this season the ninth player ever in the
00:54 history of the NBA to reach the 70 point benchmark in a single game and he had a career high 18 boards
01:02 as the Sixers get the win 133-123. No they do not cover as a 13 and a half point favorite but still
01:10 a double-digit victory and a 70 point night for Joel Embiid. And sometimes also here's what you
01:16 love about your teammates right Ben because in the flow of the game they scored 133 points keep in
01:20 mind Joel Embiid had 70 of those but you take a look at the shot attempts from the starters
01:25 three out of Batum 11 out of Harris 15 out of Maxey and only six out of Oubre. When you have a
01:31 historic night it is your duty as your teammate of Joel Embiid's to keep on feeding the beast to see
01:37 how high that number can go. It's not like hey I got to get mine still in the second half like imagine
01:42 OKC back in the day with Kevin Durant James Harden and Westbrook. KD will be heating up about to get
01:46 50 and Westbrook hold on now hold on this quarter is mine let me try to catch you here behind it. No
01:51 get out of the way and let greatness happen and also keep in mind it wasn't a one-way effort like
01:56 Ben right hey I'm just going to leave on the defensive end to try to cherry pick on offense
02:00 to score points and beat at 18 rebounds which probably means yourself like well you know he
02:04 didn't pass the ball one time. No he still had five assists in this basketball game which is
02:08 insane and also he's a big man here doing it from all over the court and I can't say it enough
02:14 the game evolving for him as an MVP last year which he could have been the MVP of the year
02:19 before didn't win it but finally got it last year's like OK my NBA career is basically that's
02:24 the cherry on top and I got it to improve his game in the offseason and come back with a better
02:29 version of his MVP self for the Philadelphia 76ers is outrageous. They're 29 and 13 now in the season
02:36 but my goodness I just need this version of Joel Embiid to somehow come up and stand on one in the
02:42 second round of the NBA playoffs to get a victory because he's been outrageously good Ben this year.
