FIRST TAKE | "He should be expelled from the NBA" - Stephen A. reacts Joel Embiid suspended 3 games

[@LionHeart477]

Steven A talking about staying away from personal stuff? The irony

[@jokerman2681]

He won’t have to worry about serving the 3 game suspension. He never plays anyway. 😂

[@MorrisJordan2nd]

Right 👍👍

[@giovannichung1361]

Difference is, he's not getting paid!

[@bigwinsports9799]

Exactly

[@andregoodger4247]

And, he isn't playing back to back games

[@kelearl3772]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@damionallen8349]

Then players across every league should boycott the media until leagues hold them to account

[@EOrainbowlove1]

If they didn't boycott for kyrie what makes u think they gone boycott for joel . Let's use our common sense 😂

[@SithLordDavid]

Really, boycott the media! Think! who broadcasts the games? Who pays the media rights contracts? The media. smh.

[@renoirrandy7241]

​@EOrainbowlove1 do you understand the word should?

[@floatmffloat]

Exactly! Owners and the leagues use the media to control players. All of these sports insiders are getting there information from the owners. In some cases some of the sports franchises are owned by media companies.

[@richardanthony7855]

Just don’t take questions from that publication and pull that members media privledges

[@rondalepayne78]

He should watch his mouth

[@SoldeeqOlanlokun]

Respect to you bro.

[@mza2884]

Ignor. Reporter has to watch his mouth too because his poor play nothing to do with his family.

[@mza2884]

Your free speeche is a joke.

[@GeorgeGardener-q8l]

Who the reporter

[@cosmicvcosmic]

Suspending him for 3 games when he wasnt even going to play the 3 games anyways😂

[@7thswordsmenofthemist]

It's the money that hurts damn the games Lol

[@Dripking770]

@@7thswordsmenofthemist money hurt where lol? Those 3 games is almost 1 million that’s not gone hurt Joel one bit, if anything it hurts the NBA cuz he’s missing both LAs game n both games are big games for the nba 😂😂

[@Stephenwhite013]

What people don’t know is that while they were in the locker room Marcus Hayes antagonized Joel and that’s why he shoved him.

[@GenuineArticle75]

So does the reporter get punished

[@Dripking770]

Nope

[@steveod2]

I'm here for all Daryl Morey slander

[@BayPawLobeezy_World]

Stop protecting reporters and the media. As a human being you have to watch what you do and say. Too many times people run they mouth and do things with little to no consequences and you have to be responsible for what you do and say and be accountable.

[@jayd2390]

Ppl should go to Gil's Arena. Listen to what real NBA players had to say about it. The reporter shouldn't have said nothing about a man's family and not expect reactions

[@marcusrex77]

He should not be expelled!!! AND THIS SHOULD BE A LESSON TO REPORTS... WHO WRITE ABOUT A PLAYER'S *"PERSONAL"* FAMILY BUSINESS!!!!!

[@BoomBap75]

A better punishment will be making him play during said suspension...😂😂

[@Tompanthony178]

That just gives him more time to rest let go sixers

[@robertharmon9577]

The players shouldn't answer their questions

[@hoodie5004]

It’s part of playing in the NBA. Don’t wanna answer questions go play in a diff league 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@greenblazetheflyeagle6048]

See here's the thing. Every time you piss off a superstar in Philadelphia, they end up asking to be traded or they leave after their contract expires, go somewhere else and become a champion. I think the same thing is going to happen with Joel embiid

[@kdwalden4159]

Suspended? He never plays anyway 😂😂😂

[@Ghost-ri4xn]

I love how media can slander players demean them speak whatever they want about them they family. Whatever but if that man or woman(not the athlete) responds with violence he’s the bad guy. Media has no boundaries why should the players

[@christhomas6702]

People taking "freedom of speech" to damn far. Criticize the man, but don't bring up family

[@lushwa1554]

"Im too bright for this" is crazy but vaguely accurate

[@jaymac4448]

Stephen A is wrong on this. As Charlie Murphy has said, you cross the line... YOU GET CHECKED!

[@jameswinslow1651]

He shouldn’t have been suspended. The reporter shouldn’t have mentioned the man’s son and brother. Why did he feel the need to mention his family?

[@geraldwilliams6972]

Nobody can be H. N. Like Steve A . Good job bro.

[@HP_Kuzco]

People need to understand, these NBA players be coming back to early because of outside pressure. They aren’t allowed to use steroid creams and are expected to heal from an injury that takes 6-9 months in 2-3 months. We all seen Joel in the playoffs mans was hurt

[@moyblazesup7620]

Hell na talk about family let alone dead family you getting these hands SAS is lame he ain't from the hood

[@jayclemons3071]

Naw you’re wrong sas is from queens and was apart of the million man march. He had to share a one bedroom apartment with 10 siblings

[@moyblazesup7620]

@jayclemons3071 ya and in the hood anyone says anything about your family and ones dead what you doing fighting SAS said na you just use words like na that not how it works in the hood right or wrong 🤔

[@wl6020]

Joel is all good. He got a olympic gold medal, when he could have played for cameroon, France. Best odds

[@motivateinmotion5073]

Wow first time i actually agree with SAS

[@jasonkrauter-xx4mx]

Of course Stephen A gon take a stand against this situation. If this caught on he'd be gettin f'd up on the daily. 😂😂

[@kareemdougal827]

This is the same thing iverson been through Phili reporters are good for this .

[@mza2884]

The reporter must be punished because his poor play nothing to do with his family.

[@Jahrell_Media]

We need more info, why did he shove him? Was the reporter all in his face? Is there video to give more context?

[@mza2884]

It's not fair punishment. None of his business to mensioned some body's dead brother.

[@rasoolthomas321]

It wasn't fair if he wasn't suspended he still would not play the 3 games

[@LarryWashington-w4n]

The reporter didn't say anything offensive about Joel family he was just correlating his column/comments to Joel quotes. Bottom line Joel don't wanna play anyway and will retire after this contract end "YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST"

[@mza2884]

Do you think,its fair to mension some body's dead brother and his kids as a reporter ?

[@skydweller_keddy]

Play stupid games you get choked. Don't mention my family that's out of bounds

[@derrickbrown6939]

James Harden was right

[@Big7wardnola]

Joel get out of Philly then let's see where they will be

They should make him play 3 gamrs
