Holmes just fell over. That's not a foul.

You're talking about a perfect storm for a villian....Incredible player, DGAF attitude, and dedicated/loud fanbase.


Embiid would relish that imo and would make a great villian.. not like KD



Definitely....is Kobe/KG esque in that sense. The league could always use a good villain. The warriors/Durant are far from loved, but something is missing in terms of their ability to be good villains. Lebron also has never truly embraced it, despite so many people rooting against him...I think he briefly did during his Heat days,but turned "face" again since he's been in Cleveland.



Excited to see some 76ers/Celtics playoff series' down the line.....going to be a hell of a ride to watch these kids grow.

Just realized Reggie Miller isn't doing our game. Thank God.

Laker offense is def stagnant, but gotta give some props for the 76ers for playing very good physical defense.

Listed measurements pretty much never get changed. So if you get drafted at 7'0" and grow to 7'2", your height stays the static 7'0".

But Embiid was identified as having grown to 7'2" back in 2015, and has ben measured by both his private doctors as well as the team as at that height since then.

This has a bunch on it:
