Joel Embiid has become one of the best players in his position in the NBA over the last few years. While Embiid is a center, he has a skill bag that runs deep and can be used to destroy opponents with ease.
Speaking of Embiid’s skill set, there have been many instances when he has pulled off moves that are similar to none other than the great Michael Jordan. So much so, that one NBA fan on Reddit posted a compilation of several similarities between Embiid’s and Jordan’s moves.

In the clip, Embiid can be seen twisting and turning with elegance, just like how Michael Jordan used to do in order to leave opponents in confusion.
The Philadelphia 76ers superstar has used several of Jordan’s moves in order to become a frontrunner for the MVP award in the last few seasons. Despite all that, it may come to fans as a shock that Embiid doesn’t think of Michael Jordan as the GOAT.
Joel Embiid Thinks Wilt Chamberlain Is The GOAT Over Michael Jordan
Joel Embiid is never shy about sharing what’s going on inside his head related to the world of the NBA. He did so once by sharing how he became a fan of Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers.
Embiid was given a chance to make his pick for the GOAT of basketball another time, and he picked Wilt Chamberlain over Michael Jordan. Upon hearing that, Dennis Rodman slammed Embiid for it.
Whether Embiid believes MJ is the GOAT or not is a personal choice, but one thing is certain: He has thoroughly studied the Chicago Bulls legend’s game and incorporated those skills into his own.
But can Embiid use those skills to one day lead the Philadelphia 76ers to an NBA Championship? He has failed to do that so far, but it could change in the future.
