If you ask the Magic Mirror hanging on the wall at Joel Embiid's house, it would probably tell you that he's the greatest player in the world.
The 76ers star just gave himself that title on Thursday night after leading a dominating finish against the Nets.
Speaking not only of his performance in last weekend's All-Star Game, but also of his 39 points and 16 rebounds in the 112-104 victory over Brooklyn, Embiid issued his declaration.
"But the All-Star Game, just proving I'm here, I belong, and being the best player in the world, I just intend to keep coming out every single night and just play hard and trying to get wins and just go out and try to win a championship," he told reporters.
