To succeed Julius Randle and Devin Booker, the NBA chose two All-Star pivots, and unsurprisingly, Joel Embiid is awarded for the Eastern Conference. The Sixers remain on five wins in a row, and the Cameroonian walks on the opposing rackets with 38.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.8 blocks on average. Top scorer in the NBA, he completely relaunched the race for the MVP.
In the West, a new triple-double specialist with Domantas Sabonis. Last week, the Kings won three of three games, and Sabonis averaged 20 points, 10.7 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game. The Lithuanian has already signed 9 triple-doubles this season, and he is at 27 in his career. Which places him in the Top 20 of the specialty, one unit behind… Michael Jordan!
