The Embiid shade is totally unnecessary. Which is why I love it.

Meanwhile Embiid is on his way to a lifetime of mediocrity and his fans knowing him for being a choker, flopper and a guy who intentionally injures other players.

KAT is the real deal. Even though he might make boneheaded plays/fouls, his heart and mind are in the right place, and it pays off!

Everyone in this thread is going to look silly next season when Embiid plays 82 games, wins MVP and Finals MVP.

I'm happy for him, he went through hell during the Covid years. And it's great that clowns who mocked him, Embiid and Cousins, are where they are.

Each year Embiid will take one of Wilt's records, starting from 48.5 minutes per game

KAT's not a perfect player but a guy his size that can shoot and rebound at at a high level without being a defensive liability is always going to add a lot of value.

Hell yeah Kat. He deserves this big time. Showed up and showed out in crunch time game.

With chronic injuries past years (when he used to be iron man that didn't miss any playtime), the undeserved bad rep, losing most of hos family to covid. He if anyone truly deserves back to back good successful years.

Considering what he said and how he treated Towns I think it is totally necessary!

Relax.

I am relaxed and wanted the Knicks to win. But I have seen mods giving warnings and locking threads when the sole purpose was to bait another team’s player. If this is now allowed, that’s fine. Just want consistency.
