Embiid fell from 8th to 47th! She appeared in a classic Iverson era jersey and made a big weight loss goal

On September 25, less than a month left before the start of the NBA regular season in the new season. As usual, the famous media ESPN selected the top 100 stars in the new season. Among the announced rankings, Embiid, the 76ers star, ranked only 47th, while he ranked 8th in the previous year.

Emperd ranked 8th in the top 100 stars last year. At that time, only one season has passed since he won the regular season MVP. Although his team results have not yet made any breakthroughs, ESPN still recognized his strength. However, after the 2024-25 season, ESPN only ranked Embiid 47th this year, and he has become the star with the largest decline.

In fact, it is not unreasonable for ESPN to rank Embiid only at 47th. After winning the regular season MVP in 2022-23, Embiid has played only 39 games and 19 games in the past two seasons respectively. Especially last season, Embiid averaged 23.8 points, 8.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 0.7 steals, 0.9 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 44.4%, a three-point shooting percentage of 29.9%, and a free throw percentage of 88.2%. He was reimbursed early on the season, and the Sixers also lost the qualification to compete for the playoffs very early.

However, according to previous reports, Embiid lost a lot of weight this summer, completely changing his appearance and is ready for the new season. He hopes to play more games in the new season, so that the team can truly have the threat of championship competition in the East where the team is growing together.

It is worth mentioning that the 76ers will use the Iverson era retro jersey in the new season, and Embiid, as the team's leading star, also appeared in a retro jersey. During his time with Iverson for the 76ers, he led the team to the finals in his MVP season, leaving a deep impression on fans. This is also the last time the 76ers have reached the finals so far.
