The pull-up jump shot is a shot you seek separation to take. You make a move to *get away* from the defender and then you take the shot.
Embiid is dribbling into dudes and taking bad shots simply because he gets rewarded for it every time. It HAS to stop.
I continue to be blown away that the league allows the officials to award players with points for this kind of BS. It's so, so bad for the game of basketball.
