Obviously, he can score in a lot of ways, it's just that his size allows him to move around the basket a lot and make a lot of free throws

 said Philadelphia coach Nick Nurse.

According to him, throwing out of the game is part of Embiid's skill.

The way he moves, his skills, his size and his motivation, I think anything can happen

- Nurse added.

Another interesting fact: this is the fourth time in NBA history that two players scored at least 60 points in a game on the same day: Joel Embiid (70 points) and Karl-Anthony Towns (62 points).

Only Wilt Chamberlain, David Robinson, David Thompson, Elgin Baylor, Kobe Bryant, Donovan Mitchell, Devin Booker and Damian Lillard have ever scored at least 70 points in an NBA game. The record belongs to Chamberlain: On March 2, 1962, the legendary center scored 100 points for the Philadelphia Warriors (now the Golden State Warriors) against the New York Knicks.
