Famous speaker: The Great needs to avoid being hit to stay healthy. He can determine the direction of the 76ers playoffs.

October 8 News Today, former NBA player and famous speaker Tim Legler talked about Embiid and the 76ers when he participated in the podcast ALLNBAPodcast.

"I hope the Sixers can stay in good shape because the league needs them to be good. Philadelphia represents a team that can rely on superstars in the playoffs. I hope they can stick together for at least part of the season and let us see their potential. If the Giants start the season healthy and the team starts 10-3, that will be a huge talking point. Imagine a "An MVP-level player with a lot of help around him and a quick rise with some of the top teams in the East struggling with injuries will be a huge concern. Even so, we're worried he won't play more than 65 games even if he's fully healthy. Regardless, when such a strong player says he feels good and looks healthy, you have to pay attention to him."

"Embid needs to avoid being hit as much as possible. If you are always being brought down by your opponent, you are going to the ground seven times every game. As a 265-pound person, you can't withstand so many hits. You are playing basketball and not football quarterback. So no matter what, avoid harsh confrontations so that you have a better chance to get through the entire season." Legler said.
