After watching it twice, looked like a delayed reaction to where he felt the graze, then remembered to react.

He’s not as unlikable as Dwight as a franchise center but close.

Re: Embiid flops and kicks Gonzalez in the nuts
Am I missing something? I didn't see him kick anyone in the nuts on the first play. And Gonzales clearly impeded his landing space.
As for the posted video with White, he clearly got smacked across the face. Lot of hoopla about nothing.

Re: Embiid flops and kicks Gonzalez in the nuts
Am I the only one who didn’t think he kicked him in the nootz?
Looks like the defender tries to stop himself from getting into embiid’s “shooting space” but is just a little too late.
Good call, borderline no call. But not offensive.

He was hit in the face. I'd give him a pass on that one.
If you want to try to measure the elements of basketball that are supposedly unmeasurable, spend a game just watching Marc Gasol.

Re: Embiid flops and kicks Gonzalez in the nuts
As I've said many times, the day Embiid retires will be a great day for the NBA. Hopefully that day comes soon, before he spoils Maxey and VJ for the rest of us.
Biggest clown in the league.

I guess. Not sure where the delayed shotgun blast to the chest came from but he def got bonked in the face.

White did hit his face but come on, I've seen smaller men take a real punch to the face and not get force-pushed from a Jedi in the chest and go to ground.
Also he jumped after getting hit and decided to not land on his feet, who thinks like that
Cheers

It's embiid. notice how these threads attract the same fans, usually raptors/celtics. Two of the bigger whinny fanbases on the planet. Even if he did flop, does it really deserve thread?

That's the highest I've seen Embiid get off the ground in years. That was a foul, but Embiid's flopping is an art form.

That is a prestigious academy. Draymond would never just graze the nuts. No half measures.

I think Draymond would be proud. Somewhere high up in the clouds, a Donkey is smiling.

Oh come on, you can clearly see him contract his legs upward like a shrimp to create contact with the defender.

It's the whole still trying to launch up a jumpshot so he could get to the line aspect of it, I guess maybe even magically get an and1. Already hit and off balance and then trying to launch up that shot is not the decision I would necessarily make.
