About this episode

Jason Timpf continues to rank his top 25 players in the NBA by getting into his top 5. At No. 5, reigning MVP, and Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid. Despite Embiid’s efficiency plummeting in the playoffs the last few years, he has led the league in scoring in back to back years, and after winning the MVP, is deserving of the number 5 spot. #Volume #Herd
