According to Paul Pierce, Joel Embiid is already one of the best bigs in the league.

On ESPN, Rachel Nichols suggested that Embiid may be better than Hakeem Olajuwon someday, and the Truth was quick to agree, saying that he had never seen a talent like Embiid in his era. But to Paul, a better comparison right now may be that Embiid and teammate Ben Simmons are a new look Shaquille O’Neal and Penny Hardaway.

Watch the conversation about the new sensation.

While Joel Embiid is on his way to becoming an All-Star, three-time All-Star DeMarcus Cousins has put up impressive numbers again this season.

Averaging 26 points, 14 rebounds, six assists, 1.6 blocks and 1.6 steals, Cousins has not only garnered Paul’s attention—the Truth argues that he should be receiving more recognition in the MVP race.
