Most of us have not seen Wilt Chamberlain in action, and as basketball progresses this strain of the Big Man is extinct, but there is one player in the NBA who cares about maintaining the respect of the dominant chins, and that is Joel Ambide. Tonight (Friday-Saturday), Ambide set a career-high 50 points and led the Sixers to a 105-112 victory over Chicago.

“One day I will tell my children that I played together with Joel Ambide,” he said Tobias Harris After the game. “When they ask who the best player I have played with is, I will say Ambid.” Guard Group Mathis Teibul Joined the compliments: “Feels unstoppable. I’m starting to think there’s no answer for him.” Coach Doc Rivers, Who secured his place on the lines in the All-Star Game, concluded: “It’s good that Joel is on our side.”

The moment of the game came 41.3 seconds to the end when Ambide scored a hard basket on Thaddeus Young, put Philly in a 103: 109 lead and practically closed the story. The star who strengthened his candidacy for MVP turned to the empty stands, waved his hands in the air and in the background through the speakers were heard cries of “MVP!”.

“I play for the fans and for this city,” he said Ambide. “I always feel like they are with us in the hall even when they are not.” Asked about the improvement in his game compared to last season, he replied: “The only difference is in me, in that I want to be dominant on offense and defense every time I’m on the floor.”

Ambide became Philadelphia’s first player since Chamberlain in 1968 to finish a game with at least 50 points, 15 rebounds and 5 assists. The last Sixers player to score 50+ points in the game is Iverson in 2005, and this season Iverson marks exactly 20 years since his MVP season. Will history repeat itself? At this rate, it seems so.
