Wow I thought that Embiid quote was fake. Dude just doesn’t get it. Maybe he will one day but right now, he’s living in a different reality

Embiid is the least likable player in the league.

Wow what a POS. I didn’t think he would have the balls to blame his teammates yet again, but he did. How can anyone defend this big baby?



He should share his mvp award with his team-mates if that's a team sport.


Along with the % of the salary cap his accolades allow him to receive. What an absolute muppet response from your team leader.

Kobe shot 50% from that game. not as bad as Embiid. And Look at his starting lineup then, Smush freaking Parker, Kwame freaking Brown, and Luke freaking Walton...even peak MJ or peak Lebron couldn't carry that starting lineup.

Lmao Embiid is a POS teammate. Who wants to play with this guy? Throwing everyone under the bus.

League's made all these rule changes and the 76ers could still only muster 88 points.

It's not about singling out someone for their team losing and claiming "X" player would've done better in their shoes. Kobe Bryant basically quit competing as that game wore on.

You can try some smokescreen about shooting 50% but kobe basically shut down his usual aggressiveness and accepted both he and LA's fate as the deficit grew.

If you were old enough to have watched that series he was heavily (and imho rightfully) criticized just like Rick Barry was in the 1976 game 7 loss to Phoenix.

I defend Embiid often but dude you got to be smarter than that. That's a very bad look.

Thank you 76ers . To me the 2nd best team in the East. I'm sad cause it had to happem to soon.
P. S. I never expected this.... I wish us good luck. Anything is possible for the most talented team.
Good assessment:
