Joel Embiid

The ability to turn defense into offense is one trait displayed by most NBA greats. Fortunately for the Philadelphia 76ers, few players can create on both sides of the ball better than Joel Embiid. Perfectly timing up a block, the All-NBA center sneaks up on an unsuspecting opponent to send a shot attempt in the opposite direction. His teammates take care of the rest, as Danny Green and Tobias Harris catch a flat-footed Houston Rockets defense off balance with two crisp passes in transition on the way to a fastbreak slam by Matisse Thybulle. Embiid made life easier for his team throughout the 111-91 win on January 10, 2022, contributing 31 points, eight rebounds, six assists, two rejections and a steal.
