Two all time great regular season players known for their playoff shortcomings. Current achievements

Harden: 1x MVP, 10x All Star, 7x All NBA, 3x scoring champ, 2x assist leader

Embiid: 1x MVP, 6x All Star, 5x All NBA, 2x scoring champ, 3x All Defense

Embiid this season is on his way to winning his 3rd scoring title and matching Harden in that department. If he stays healthy he should surpass Harden in all star and all nba selections as well. I think he will be the higher one all time when it’s all said and done even without a ring

    I think what most obviously hurts Embiid’s “all time” standing is the volume of games he’s played, and volume of great games he’s played. He’s 4 months away from turning 30, but has only played 410 (equivalent to 5 full 82 game seasons) of a possible 736 regular season games up to his 10th season in the league, and is a notable playoff under-performer (compared to his regular season output, whether due to injuries, teammates, or other factors).
