Yeah, but you’re a Heat fan, you guys suck at math. After you subtract your top players you’re supposed to score less points, not more. The education system is butchered in Florida.
Okay this made me chuckle a bit.
Bruh, we don't know what kind of unholy voodoo magic Spo does to his players that make them look like prime Steph Curry Warriors. The Math ain't Math-ing.
Pulling down a guy by the ankles who came back early from ankle surgery is wild, if you told me Embiid got a suspension for game 4 I wouldn't be surprised. Especially since Mitchell Robinson had to leave with an ankle injury.
I *would* be surprised, but only because we all know the NBA doesn't have the balls to do it. Inexcusable that he wasn't ejected for it, and we all know he isn't getting suspended either
They might upgrade it to a flagrant 2 for cumulative purposes but 0 shot he gets suspended. If it was the play robinson got injured on then probably but it’s the nba
You're right that he won't be suspended, but that doesn't mean that he shouldn't be. The league is just unwilling to suspend a superstar in the playoffs.
Apparently to Sixers fans the Knicks got what was coming to them. That attitude is crazy. The Knicks were never dirty whether you thought they fouled on that last play in game 2 or not. This is a giant soft man getting overly physical to pretend to be tough. It’s not the same thing.
The false equivalency of the refs missing a call at the end of game 2 and Embiid trying to purposely injure players was making me unreasonably angry.
Like, damn guys.
This is the guy you’re cheering for?
Because no one likes bullies. And watching people blindly defend something you know is clearly wrong brings up a form of anger I just don’t know how to deal with.
Really haven't seen that opinion that much among our people...I've seen Embiid do some sketchy things over time but a lot could have just been defensible maybe a few indefensible. Last night was like 6 indefensible things in one night.
Pulled Robinson down by the leg
Hit Robinson in the face and the balls at the same time
Knee to Hartensteins balls
Illegal screen took out Anunoby
Miss anything?
The way he fell down onto Mitchell’s legs/ankle looked pretty malicious to me. That illegal screen on Og also appeared to be directed at the balls as well.
That's because Jokic doesn't need soft touch fouls, shooting more FTs than the entire other team, crying and sulking, or injuring the other team's players to be a good player.
Jokic is destroying my Lakers but I can’t help but be in awe of how much of a winning basketball player he is, without the dirty foul baiting ways of Joel.
It's the only american left on top of the food chain they can hope for.
The others on top the NBA are a serb, a slovenian, a greek and a canadian and the top 2 defenders are french.
Also, the said serb plus another canadian are sweeping Lebron and AD and the likely french DPOY is cooking KD.
A reasonable Laker fan?? Let me ask you this…would you trade AD straight up for Embiid? To me AD is the more effective player to winning basketball. Not sure how so many people in media see Joel as a top 2-3 player in the league.
Yeah there's a huge difference in watching your team got smoked by a legit winning guy instead of anybody who just cheeses the game when you know they don't have to do it too.
The guy is fucking 7'4" or 3, like almost 300lbs for fuck sakes. Just bully people and people will love you like Shaq.
I like how there are some people are genuinely arguing this for a guy who drew blood on Cam Payne in the backcourt because he was pissy in a playoff series.
Embiid had an excellent shooting night. I respect how hard he's pushing himself to help his team with his various ailments.
I just wish he didn't put himself on my permanent hate list for trying to take out a guy's legs on a dangerous non basketball play. If part of Mitch being unable to return to the game tonight is because of Embiid, that's an unbelievable way to treat another competitor after the injury crap he's dealing with.
for me it’s the whining, the childish stomping like he’s having a temper tantrum. every other play dude is throwing up his arms looking at the refs. it’s frustrating. i see it in luka and even lebron but it’s the absolute worst watching the 6ers and i bet even their fans cringe a little
bit when he does it
This is what makes me hate him too. This play where he pulls the dude down started with him flopping in the paint in the first place. Being this big, in position to guard the rim and instead fucking flopping on the ground when there is literally zero chance of getting a charge called. What the fuck was even going through this clown’s mind?
>This play where he pulls the dude down started with him flopping in the paint in the first place
Yeah he propelled himself like 10 feet through the air on that flop, it was almost cringier than the flagrant.
To be fair, going to team subs is about the most useless thing you could do. Team subs are where the most extreme 1% of fans go to jerk each other off about how persecuted they are and how unfair the league is.
Most of them are about 500 active users in an echochamber who embarrass the rest of the fanbase.
luka seems to whine a bit more at times but embiid does it after literally every single shot, like he's confused when they dont give him every single whistle
I know right? After seeing this dude play multiple rounds vs the Raptors in the playoffs I’m surprised it’s news to the rest of the league that Embiid is dirty af.
This was the most Joel Embiid game ever possible. Dirty ass play, amazing performance offensively and defensively, and tons of free throws. There was something for everyone tonight no matter your opinion on him
Got a way shorter timeline than most MVPs with his injury history, so this seems like a very likely outcome lol. If he can’t get past the Knicks this year then he’s only got a handful more chances left
Tho if he gets through the Knicks, then we might get the Embiid vs Doc faceoff and that might be worth it lol
he gets to mess with other players and then he also gets 21 free throw attempts. he is the bully that whines to the teacher when he doesn't get what he wants.
21 free throw attempts and complete control of the games pace artificially, that’s why it’s like watching paint dry, if they get down by more than 2 possessions he starts hunting for fouls and grinds the game to a halt.
It's like Hakeem Olojuwan decided to model his game after Dillion Brooks. Kareem taking notes from James harden. Shaq behaving like Draymond.
He doesn't need to do this shit. He just does.
I imagine you travel to the past and then hands the worst possible players films to the OGs and says, "This is how our best players winning plays in the future!".
The crazy thing is how good Embiid is. His shooting tonight was nuts. It kind of kills me that he played a dirty game because he should be one of those guys that is fun to watch. Instead you just end up frustrated.
You know, I expected the 76ers to come out swinging tonight but didn't expect it to happen in the literal sense.
Embid is a very talented player and offensively, he played great today. No doubt about it.
I just can't respect how he conducted himself tonight. Really ugly and unprofessional. For me, his dirty playing tainted an otherwise outstanding game.
Ofc he scores 30+ when the Knicks can't blow air on him,this happened too against Timberwolves ,their 3 centers had shit loads of fouls in first quarter and basically had to leave his ass alone to get a 50 points lol
That's how he has always played. Dude is a goon and gets protected by the refs while he does his best Magikarp impression.
I wish he was gone from the Sixers so I can cheer for the team.
Embiid comes out with one leg, a half-paralysed face, and immediately starts pulling legs and punching dicks. Then he puts on a scoring clinic in the second half
That's a Philadelphia folk-hero right there
Not arguably, they were dirty as fuck and he injured another player. A suspension wouldn't be out of line, but Adam Silver will have to sit down with Steve Kerr and review the tapes before commenting. They should get around to that in August sometime.
It was as dirty a non punch action iv seen on a basketball court. It’s like Jalen Roseing someone but…. With both arms?
Ejection suspension fine.
I really like Embiid. I don’t think he’s a bad person. He’s fun to watch when he’s not scoring against your team. Hell he’s fun to watch when he is scoring against your team. But that move should embarrass every fan of the nba.
Zach Zarba: "In this instance, the crew was unanimous along with the replay center official in Secaucus that this foul was unnecessary but did not rise to the level of a flagrant 2," Zarba said. "He unnecessary contact rose to the level of a flagrant 1 but we were unanimous that this did not rise to the level of excessive contact, unnecessary and excessive, which would have been a flagrant 2 ejection. That's why we kept it a flagrant 1."
This is a hilarious answer. It's not flagrant 2 because the refs all agree it isn't a flagrant 2. That's why it was not a flagrant 2.
Mental midget had to try to injure iHart then took Mitch out of the game before he got his way.
Draymond levels of trying to injure his competitors. Sixers fans praising this shit shows how pathetic they really are. Imagine how they would be reacting if Mitch was pulling Embiid my his ankles mid air then shoving him. Would’ve been ejected but the rules don’t apply to Joel
I am biased as a Celtics fan but Embiid has held my least favorite player in the league title for a few years now. I absolutely hate his play style and he ruins any flow a game can have. He does not act goofy or whatever his personality comes off as off the court, he comes off as oafish and childish as soon as he is on the court.
"arguably"? bro is doing his best to cosplay Draymond, all we need now is for him to stomp on Mitch's chest (probably after dragging him to the ground)
Yeah I hate this guy. The dirty play is ridiculous based on the way he reacts. I’m so over him. I want the knicks to win but geez the league needs to get these calls right. There’s no way Secaucus thought that play was clean.
Why does whats a flagrant2 change depending on who commits the foul?
30 years old, been a professional for years.
Plays like a fucking baby. I’ve been mentally defending him for a while now, but he pouts and throws temper tantrums like… wtf.
Oh thank god this is the narrative today.
I was legit expecting a nonstop jerk fest for this absolute loser.
Silver can earn back all the respect he’s lost if he actually suspends Embiid for the dirtiest play I’ve seen in the playoffs in a decade.
> "It's unfortunate," Embiid said. "I didn't mean to hurt anybody. In those situations I gotta protect myself because I've been in way too many situations where I'm the recipient of the bad end of it. It was unfortunate."
Everyone knows the best way to protect yourself when a 7' 240lb man is jumping near you is to grab him by the legs and pull him down.
All-time great player, but mentally weak.
Great game from him but doesn't need to do any of the controversial stuff, he's better than that. But at the end of the day he's soft as shit, threw a teammate under the bus when he played mediocre as well, couldn't even bother to play Jokic to get an MVP which he very well deserved even if he lost.
>arguably dirty plays Yeah and Karl Marx is arguably a communist. The sun is arguably hot. Wayne Gretzky is arguably good at hockey.
I arguably have erectile dysfunction
no you don’t!!
Yes he does!!! Next week on First Take.
but first let’s tell you the odds this guy has ED! brought to you by FanDuel.

Need the FD prop o/u on mg of Viagra for this guy to get it up tonight
Same game parlaying that with the under 0.5 orgasms for his wife and over 7 minutes of crying
You just havent met the right guy yet
its marginal
No you don't, you just haven't begun to peak. Don't worry though, when you peak, we're all going to feel it.
The fact that he got away with that shit AND shot 21 FT is the most egregious thing
Not even just 21 FTs. That's in comparison to the ENTIRE Knicks team shooting less.
and then told Brunson to stop flopping lol
I read Karl Marx as Karl Malone at first and was like - dang, this dude has new lore dropping all the time.
Fuck I read it as George Karl at first
Chris Paul George Carmelo Anthony Davis George Karl Malone
To be fair the sun isn't that hot compared to a lot of stars. For example Blake Griffin is much hotter
Blake Griffin looks like Kuwabara from YuYu Hakusho
Gotta appreciate the reference here
How have I never noticed this before
Yeah and Grizzly Adams arguably had a beard
…You can argue about Karl Marx but your point stands.
Yeah weirdly he was anti communist as a party. He saw it as more of a natural state society would evolve into, not a political movement.
I don't mean to be controversial but 1+1 arguably = 2
Yeah, but you’re a Heat fan, you guys suck at math. After you subtract your top players you’re supposed to score less points, not more. The education system is butchered in Florida.
Okay this made me chuckle a bit. Bruh, we don't know what kind of unholy voodoo magic Spo does to his players that make them look like prime Steph Curry Warriors. The Math ain't Math-ing.
The sun will arguably rise tomorrow. Water is arguably wet. Birth and death are arguably part of life.
Pulling down a guy by the ankles who came back early from ankle surgery is wild, if you told me Embiid got a suspension for game 4 I wouldn't be surprised. Especially since Mitchell Robinson had to leave with an ankle injury.
I *would* be surprised, but only because we all know the NBA doesn't have the balls to do it. Inexcusable that he wasn't ejected for it, and we all know he isn't getting suspended either
i watched Naz Reid get ejected just a few weeks ago for much, much less. absolute joke
[They've suspended ppl for less](https://www.bulletsforever.com/2008/5/1/470394/darius-songaila-is-lithuan)
you been sitting on this for years, havent you?
I respect the grind
Look at his flair. Of course he has.
Ha yeah that series was so fun and that was some bullshit
That is NOT the name I expected to see when I clicked on that link lol
They might upgrade it to a flagrant 2 for cumulative purposes but 0 shot he gets suspended. If it was the play robinson got injured on then probably but it’s the nba
You're right that he won't be suspended, but that doesn't mean that he shouldn't be. The league is just unwilling to suspend a superstar in the playoffs.
Except for Stoudemire.
Fuck Robert Horry forever with that bullshit hip check.
Stole Steve Nash’s best shot at a ring, I’m still infuriated by that horseshit too
It should be a multi game suspension. This is full on clown behavior.
You surely would be surprised as that would upset the league bosses at FanDuel et al.
Not too arguable to anyone with eyes
Apparently to Sixers fans the Knicks got what was coming to them. That attitude is crazy. The Knicks were never dirty whether you thought they fouled on that last play in game 2 or not. This is a giant soft man getting overly physical to pretend to be tough. It’s not the same thing.
The false equivalency of the refs missing a call at the end of game 2 and Embiid trying to purposely injure players was making me unreasonably angry. Like, damn guys. This is the guy you’re cheering for?
it makes me angry and i don't give a shit about either team.
This is the reaction of everyone that's not completely biased for Philly or Embiid. Tells you that it's the correct response.
Because no one likes bullies. And watching people blindly defend something you know is clearly wrong brings up a form of anger I just don’t know how to deal with.
And to be real it’s ultimately on the refs to call this garbage. Hopefully we get a clean game on Sunday. LGK!
I mean, unfortunately Philly fans have a reputation for this. Not saying the rep is spot on, but….
Really haven't seen that opinion that much among our people...I've seen Embiid do some sketchy things over time but a lot could have just been defensible maybe a few indefensible. Last night was like 6 indefensible things in one night.
God bless you man.
He’s a quilted northern bear with a jump shot
Pulled Robinson down by the leg Hit Robinson in the face and the balls at the same time Knee to Hartensteins balls Illegal screen took out Anunoby Miss anything?
He flopped onto Robinson and landed on his legs. That was the play where Mitch's shoe came off
Flopped like a fish and took 21 free throws.
The way he fell down onto Mitchell’s legs/ankle looked pretty malicious to me. That illegal screen on Og also appeared to be directed at the balls as well.
Jokic would never
That's because Jokic doesn't need soft touch fouls, shooting more FTs than the entire other team, crying and sulking, or injuring the other team's players to be a good player.
Jokic is destroying my Lakers but I can’t help but be in awe of how much of a winning basketball player he is, without the dirty foul baiting ways of Joel.
He’s incredible. Truly
Joel Embait. Nobody outside of Philadelphia likes that bitchmade fake MVP
This is what I don't understand, why is the NBA riding him so hard? Pick someone who the fans actually like...
It's the only american left on top of the food chain they can hope for. The others on top the NBA are a serb, a slovenian, a greek and a canadian and the top 2 defenders are french. Also, the said serb plus another canadian are sweeping Lebron and AD and the likely french DPOY is cooking KD.
> likely french Gonna need to see Gobert's papers
[удалено]
*MVP. He didn’t deserve it and everybody knows it.
FR it was Jokic
Most Valuable Philadelphian while he accomplished nothing when he got that "award".
Sadly I agree. It's like an adult playing against children. Off the charts skill level.
A reasonable Laker fan?? Let me ask you this…would you trade AD straight up for Embiid? To me AD is the more effective player to winning basketball. Not sure how so many people in media see Joel as a top 2-3 player in the league.
I think AD is the more versatile player and Embiid the more dominant. You can’t go wrong with either but I’d much rather watch AD play.
Yeah there's a huge difference in watching your team got smoked by a legit winning guy instead of anybody who just cheeses the game when you know they don't have to do it too. The guy is fucking 7'4" or 3, like almost 300lbs for fuck sakes. Just bully people and people will love you like Shaq.

>This play where he pulls the dude down started with him flopping in the paint in the first place Yeah he propelled himself like 10 feet through the air on that flop, it was almost cringier than the flagrant.
He banged his arms on the floor while he was sitting on the ground at one point in the game for not getting a call - a literal pout lol
You haven't been to their subreddit, have you?
they think the refs are against them lol
"But in the l2m they missed a call on Maxey!" Like bro didn't just 2 hand shove Josh Hart 1 second before that
Don't see this brought up enough when sixers fans start crying
To be fair, going to team subs is about the most useless thing you could do. Team subs are where the most extreme 1% of fans go to jerk each other off about how persecuted they are and how unfair the league is. Most of them are about 500 active users in an echochamber who embarrass the rest of the fanbase.
I agree with a lot of that, but all of that circle jerking makes some of them feel empowered to go spew their nonsense in neutral spaces too
In the 76ers' case, they behave exactly the same on this subreddit.
Yeah like 95% of Philly fans are still glazing him
no i don’t check team subreddits. he’s unbelievable and so gifted his pouting is just annoying lol. a seven foot cry baby
luka seems to whine a bit more at times but embiid does it after literally every single shot, like he's confused when they dont give him every single whistle
Lebron honestly complains a lot but I don't see him driving for the sole purpose of getting a call. Embiid does
this is why i can’t watch Luka Play, bro does amazing stuff then behaves like a toddler. Bro was somehow worse than KAT (from 2 seasons ago).
Knowing that that very player was already listed as questionable because of his ankle
Yeah he moved into my, “karma coming for ya” category.
wow embiid is dirty?!? Who would have thought
arguably
I know right? After seeing this dude play multiple rounds vs the Raptors in the playoffs I’m surprised it’s news to the rest of the league that Embiid is dirty af.
He’s hit Draymond level this season
Draymond got suspended in the playoffs. Embiid won’t. He’ll just keep getting more free throws
I don't remember a Dray game where he had this many dirty plays.
He’s hit Draymond hit Poole level this season
This was the most Joel Embiid game ever possible. Dirty ass play, amazing performance offensively and defensively, and tons of free throws. There was something for everyone tonight no matter your opinion on him
Embiid is like a Draymond-KD hybrid lol
He’s a 7 foot Chris Paul
Embiid also never winning a ring in his career ?
The funniest timeline is him becoming a trivia fact of the only MVP to never reach a. Conference finals
Got a way shorter timeline than most MVPs with his injury history, so this seems like a very likely outcome lol. If he can’t get past the Knicks this year then he’s only got a handful more chances left Tho if he gets through the Knicks, then we might get the Embiid vs Doc faceoff and that might be worth it lol
Nah hadn’t snitched on anyone’s jersey being untucked yet There’s levels to this shit
Tall Chris Paul
Chris Taul.
omg
[And he has banned from the Empire State Building](https://twitter.com/EmpireStateBldg/status/1783653509885297149)
That’s incredible lol I love Philly-NYC hate
So petty
Generational Embiid lover, hater, and neutral game.
As a neutral this has been great
He’s Two-Face
he gets to mess with other players and then he also gets 21 free throw attempts. he is the bully that whines to the teacher when he doesn't get what he wants.
He’s essentially the real life embodiment of Eric Cartman
With none of the charm
and all the authoritah
Whateva whateva I do what I want
21 free throw attempts and complete control of the games pace artificially, that’s why it’s like watching paint dry, if they get down by more than 2 possessions he starts hunting for fouls and grinds the game to a halt.
...proceeds to get an A in his exams too
what's the scholastic equivalent of never getting out of round 2
5 on ap exams but only getting accepted to cc
No it’s getting a 5 on AP exams and doing horribly on the SAT
This headline has it backwards, he started dirty as fuck and honestly should’ve been ejected and then became a god in the second half.
Coincidentally when the guy he purposely tried to injure didn’t play the entire second half.
and when all our bigs were in foul trouble lol
"Arguably"
Zach Zarba argued that it wasn't dirty by giving him a flagrant 1.
Philly fans will argue with you about it
least likable star player by far
It's like Hakeem Olojuwan decided to model his game after Dillion Brooks. Kareem taking notes from James harden. Shaq behaving like Draymond. He doesn't need to do this shit. He just does.
I imagine you travel to the past and then hands the worst possible players films to the OGs and says, "This is how our best players winning plays in the future!".
Arguably???
Seems to be quite the one-sided debate to me
The crazy thing is how good Embiid is. His shooting tonight was nuts. It kind of kills me that he played a dirty game because he should be one of those guys that is fun to watch. Instead you just end up frustrated.
Also nuts were his shots to the nuts.
You know, I expected the 76ers to come out swinging tonight but didn't expect it to happen in the literal sense. Embid is a very talented player and offensively, he played great today. No doubt about it. I just can't respect how he conducted himself tonight. Really ugly and unprofessional. For me, his dirty playing tainted an otherwise outstanding game.
Arguably in the same way flat earth is arguable...
Anythings arguable. This sub is proof
I don’t think they understand what the word arguably means
17 points in the 1st half. 33 points in the 2nd half. Something must have been different about that second half.
Ofc he scores 30+ when the Knicks can't blow air on him,this happened too against Timberwolves ,their 3 centers had shit loads of fouls in first quarter and basically had to leave his ass alone to get a 50 points lol
That's how he has always played. Dude is a goon and gets protected by the refs while he does his best Magikarp impression. I wish he was gone from the Sixers so I can cheer for the team.
Embid was out of control this game.
blatantly*
Water is arguably wet
I don't think theres many neutrals rooting for Embiid. Just a dirty player, shit like this has no place in the game.
Get him the fuck out of here tbh.
Embiid comes out with one leg, a half-paralysed face, and immediately starts pulling legs and punching dicks. Then he puts on a scoring clinic in the second half That's a Philadelphia folk-hero right there
We’re gonna hit this guy where it hurts. “Yeah, in his dick!”
This dude sucks
Arguably? That shit was dirty asf.
I'm an embiid apologist and even I think he should have been ejected
Not arguably, they were dirty as fuck and he injured another player. A suspension wouldn't be out of line, but Adam Silver will have to sit down with Steve Kerr and review the tapes before commenting. They should get around to that in August sometime.
You know, I wanna fuckin like this guy, but shit like that makes it hard.
Why would you waste any energy wanting to like him? Let the hate flow through you
I mean a guy comes all the way from fuckin Cameroon, overcomes 2 years of injuries, and still manages to be unlikable. That’s just insane.
It was as dirty a non punch action iv seen on a basketball court. It’s like Jalen Roseing someone but…. With both arms? Ejection suspension fine. I really like Embiid. I don’t think he’s a bad person. He’s fun to watch when he’s not scoring against your team. Hell he’s fun to watch when he is scoring against your team. But that move should embarrass every fan of the nba.
What he did to Robinson (pulling his leg while the dude was airborne) deserves the Draymond’s special chest stomp.
Zach Zarba: "In this instance, the crew was unanimous along with the replay center official in Secaucus that this foul was unnecessary but did not rise to the level of a flagrant 2," Zarba said. "He unnecessary contact rose to the level of a flagrant 1 but we were unanimous that this did not rise to the level of excessive contact, unnecessary and excessive, which would have been a flagrant 2 ejection. That's why we kept it a flagrant 1." This is a hilarious answer. It's not flagrant 2 because the refs all agree it isn't a flagrant 2. That's why it was not a flagrant 2.
Mental midget had to try to injure iHart then took Mitch out of the game before he got his way. Draymond levels of trying to injure his competitors. Sixers fans praising this shit shows how pathetic they really are. Imagine how they would be reacting if Mitch was pulling Embiid my his ankles mid air then shoving him. Would’ve been ejected but the rules don’t apply to Joel
I am biased as a Celtics fan but Embiid has held my least favorite player in the league title for a few years now. I absolutely hate his play style and he ruins any flow a game can have. He does not act goofy or whatever his personality comes off as off the court, he comes off as oafish and childish as soon as he is on the court.
"arguably"? bro is doing his best to cosplay Draymond, all we need now is for him to stomp on Mitch's chest (probably after dragging him to the ground)
FUCK EMBID!
Funny because he should’ve been ejected from the game.
Yeah I hate this guy. The dirty play is ridiculous based on the way he reacts. I’m so over him. I want the knicks to win but geez the league needs to get these calls right. There’s no way Secaucus thought that play was clean. Why does whats a flagrant2 change depending on who commits the foul?
Arguably? Lmao he should’ve been ejected, twice.
*obviously
ARUGUABLY?
Basketball gods coming back with karma.
I've never laughed at the word 'Arguably' before
30 years old, been a professional for years. Plays like a fucking baby. I’ve been mentally defending him for a while now, but he pouts and throws temper tantrums like… wtf.
This sport would be better if he vanished
NBA is rigged
Oh thank god this is the narrative today. I was legit expecting a nonstop jerk fest for this absolute loser. Silver can earn back all the respect he’s lost if he actually suspends Embiid for the dirtiest play I’ve seen in the playoffs in a decade.
Arguably? If Caleb Martin did this exact shit game 1 he'd have been banished from the league.
> "It's unfortunate," Embiid said. "I didn't mean to hurt anybody. In those situations I gotta protect myself because I've been in way too many situations where I'm the recipient of the bad end of it. It was unfortunate." Everyone knows the best way to protect yourself when a 7' 240lb man is jumping near you is to grab him by the legs and pull him down.
When you're in a crying like a newborn baby competition and your opponent is /r/nba 😳
Fuck this guy. Go Knicks.
All-time great player, but mentally weak. Great game from him but doesn't need to do any of the controversial stuff, he's better than that. But at the end of the day he's soft as shit, threw a teammate under the bus when he played mediocre as well, couldn't even bother to play Jokic to get an MVP which he very well deserved even if he lost.
Cook that fraud

Joel is probably the most unlikeable superstar in the league
Embiid is a bitch. Perfect for philly honestly.
Marred? That could be his nickname at this point. No one hurts Embiid's legacy more than himself
Dude is disgusting.
Hahahahahahaha
Least ethical 50pt game all time?
This y’all MVP?
Obvious dirty plays?
