Joel Embiid implies LeBron James isn’t the same player he was a couple years ago: ‘People get fooled by the names on paper’
Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid hinted at the notion that Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James isn’t the same player he was a couple years back. “You look at the talent that the U.S. has, but there’s equal talent on other teams,” Embiid said to the New York Times when asked if there’s any doubt about who will win the gold medal in the 2024 Olympics. “And the talent that’s on the U.S. team, you also got to understand most of those guys are older. The LeBron now is not the LeBron that was a couple of years ago. So it’s a big difference. Everybody would also tell you, and you can see for yourself, the athletic LeBron, dominant that he was a couple of years ago, is not the same that he is now. I think people get fooled by the names on paper. But those names have been built throughout their career, and now they’re older. They’re not what they used to be.”
