Joel Embiid is a dirty player

He's very reckless, him always falling to the floor will seriously hurt someone. He might land on their head, legs or spinal cord.

23 flagrants in 483 games.

The much criticised and hated Draymond Green? 21 in 970 games.

In the playoffs it holds true compared to Draymond as well.

It’s about time Embiid got his due as one of the dirtiest players in the NBA.

Here's the full original Reddit post:

Draymond: 21 flagrants in 970 total games played (15 flagrants in 813 regular season games played and 6 flagrants in 157 playoff games played)

Embiid:23 flagrants in 489 games played (16 flagrants in 433 regular season games and 7 flagrants in 56 playoff games)

Also has more flagrants in the playoffs than Draymond in almost 3x less games.

Did he get a flagrant for that one?

When you start to injure guys, that's when it starts to cross the line. Trae Young was/is a great villain for the Knicks for instance because he trash talks and backed it up. This stuff by Joel is trash on the basis that he's hurting the opposition physically due to this.

Yeah I’m not a fan of that play.

But we need more villains. I have never been as invested in a Knicks series as I am now. This is popcorn.

Not just dirty but we all know how much he would have cried if he had gotten ejected like he should have

Until someone gets hurt...well, I guess that's entertainment too, we do have sports like boxing and UFC with the specific purpose of hurting, and full contact sports where we know hurt will happen.

I guess I'll just let it be, but still, until someone gets hurt.

I do he’s my favorite player in the NBA because he’s so skilled and haters love to hate on him for no reason.

No reason? You don’t see the long list of reasons?

And players like Derrick Rose and Klay Thompson are some of my least favorite players of all time, and people disagree with that too but it’s whatever.

It's pretty hard to see some things when you are wearing troll glasses.

From what I remember he didn't even get a foul right?

Dude has been intentionally trying(and in some cases succeeding) to injure players on the other team for years.

At a certain point, someone needs to give it right back to him.

But they won't. He'll continue to do it and the NBA will allow it.

Roger Murdock · Post #34 » by **Roger Murdock** » Fri Apr 26, 2024 5:33 pm

It’s outrageous he wasn’t kicked out for that foul. That’s a flagrant 4

If you're gonna be a big time loser who never wins a Finals at least don't take other players out in the process!

He's the most manufactured superstar of all time.

Cried for 3 years to get his MVP
Flops constantly, gets as many free throws as he wants
Constantly throws his teammates under the bus when he chokes, nobody calls him out
Intentionally takes out other players, doesn't get tossed from games

If Jokic got Embiid's whistle he'd average 50 points on 750% true shooting.

Not really, it's people's livelihoods. That could have easily been a career-ending injury for Robinson.

He is not fun to watch play, he is a flopper and a bitch.
Overrated and a loser.

Yea you're right. I don't know why the NBA promotes him. I would not be happy if my 7 year old did some of the things you mentioned but luckily he doesn't.
