​It's always great when legends put some praise on some of the NBA's great players.





Philadelphia 76ers legend, Sonny Hill, had some very strong praise for current 76ers star-player, Joel Embiid.

Sonny Hill thinks Sixers' @JoelEmbiid has "chance to be a young Wilt Chamberlain" https://t.co/obBdNwovyc via @phillysport — Keith Pompey (@PompeyOnSixers) December 3, 2017

Comparing someone to one of the best players to ever play the game, is a true compliment.





In his era, Chamberlain was the league's most dominant force. Over his illustrious 14-year career in Philadelphia, Chamberlain averaged 30.1 points per game, 22.9 rebounds, and 4.4 assists.





Embiid, who was the third-overall pick in the 2014 NBA draft, has battled through injuries in his first couple of seasons.





However, now healthy, he is becoming a dominant player in the league, averaging 21.3 points per game, 9.1 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks.





He is also one of eight players in NBA history to produce 1,065 points, 457 rebounds, 125 assists, and 108 blocks, through 50 career games.

Embiid will be a superstar in this league for a long time, and Sonny Hill's praise just shows how great he can be.
