In general i think he simply provokes a ton of illegal contact by being that strong and coordinated.

Weird to compare with a guy like Curry rather than other big men.

The emphasis was on the superstar part more than style of play. Embiid gets the benefit of the doubt on more calls both offensively and defensively than Steph imo. He gets the traditional superstar calls. Steph gets officiated more in line with the rank and file players than with the superstars of the game. Maybe there is an analytic review out there that Embiid legitimately gets fouled more and fouls less than Curry.
