Why Everybody Hates Joel Embiid

[@drakevick1646]

Someone asked me to name Embiid’s most memorable playoff moment, and deadass, the first thing that came to my mind was the Kawhi shot 😂 like that’s where his legacy is at

[@NAMISIMP]

cap its his 50 point game

[@drakevick1646]

⁠if that entire game was a “moment” you won’t forget, then don’t just remember the parts you want to recall. Don’t forget the flagrant foul that took out Robinson, or the 19/21 free throws he shot, which was MORE THAN THE ENTIRE KNICKS TEAM COMBINED! Don’t forget his post game bitching about PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF not being present enough at home games. And fyi, yes, this conversation did happen, and it’s 1000% the first thing that came to mind. And it still does, cuz what highlight did he have during that 50 piece? Name ONE highlight play he made in that game. You can’t. It’s maybe the least respectable/ least respected 50 point playoff game of all time

[@bregozy3330]

@@drakevick1646Robinson was out when his teammate stepped on his ankle + let’s not talk about refs in that series as for almost every game they favored NY

[@Omegascithe]

​@@bregozy3330 Lmao no. If you ever want to figure out why it always looks like refs are against Embiid during playoffs, it's because the man fishes for fouls. You don't get nearly as many foul calls in playoffs vs regular season. The guy's easiest way to get points is gone, and he doesn't know how to adjust, so he throws temper tantrums and makes poor decisions when he thinks* it's clear (that Anunoby shoulder shove was fair contact). That missed layup over shooting the free mid-range was textbook Embiid being a jackass trying to fish. This vid straight broke it down exactly how it is. I hate both teams but still watched the games regardless because I love basketball, been watching almost every series this playoffs since round 1. The game wasn't crazy favored either way, you're just biased.

[@Ballin9594]

Brunson is a serial flopper. Dude must be a Knicks fan

[@drexeldragon1723]

Right. Embiid isn't allowed to complain about missed calls that the league they admitted that they missed but he's supposed to say that his own teammate traveled on a pivotal play? Does ANYONE do that? "Yea, we should've lost today. My guy walked before the tying shot." No one would say that. Also the whining about free throws as if that's not part of the game. Take away Embiid's free throws and he still scored more than Brunson did in game 7 against the Pacers period.

[@tylers9476]

Embiid has more flagrant fouls than Draymond Green in half as many games played....

He didn't deserved it in the first place, Jokic was better than him that season.

i hated embiid but on recent playoff run, with bells palsy and bleeding knee. maybe cut him some slack. never complained in this playoff

[@steph_566]

Damn, This dude really hates Joel Embiid

[@jeffreycoz7]

I know right 😂

[@ShadowsFallBehind]

Worst part is, half of it is bs. He was on one leg, one half of his face, a migraine, the Knicks got BS calls in game 2 and game 4. And on top of that he was booed at home. He accidentally stepped on Hart's foot. The Mitchell Robinson thing was inexcusable, but that didn't injure him. He played for the next 6 minutes and then hurt himself on a defensive play. On the free throws, he got hit hard by this Knicks team. Some of it, sure, was foul baiting. But all of your favorite players do it. SGA, Luka, Giannis. Even Jokic has done it on occasions. Don't blame this series on Embiid.

[@je1414]

he deserves every bit of that hate

I’m sad embiid doesn’t get injured more

[@anthonygonzalez7291]

I’m a diehard Sixers fan and I’ve said for the last 3 years, if embiid wasn’t on the Sixers he would be my most hated player of all time

[@feroce82]

Embiid was the nº1 target for the off-season until they realized they had a squad. And let's be real, if he was healthy the Sixers and the Knicks wouldn't face off in the Playoffs

[@andrewthomson870]

Only if Grayson Allen has retired.

[@spidamitchell8311]

Allen has improved his reputation this season and also he would actually get ejected for his dirty plays while Joel somehow does get enough flagrant 2’s from the refs.

[@Emile97427]

Finally, as a French, I'm glad he choose not to play with us. Even if you don't reject a NBA MVP who wants to play with you, the fact he had no real ties with France, the way he lied and his behavior on the court, would have made me more uncomfortable than excited to see the unique front line he could have formed with Rudy and Victor. I prefer an honorable silver or bronze medal than a cheatish potential gold one, with a little bit of shame to have him on the roaster. I hope FIBA rules and straight referees who would make the right calls on his dirty plays and foul baiting, will give him a little reality check on his not-as-exceptional-as-he-think value on the international scene.

I think the problem with that comparison is that Jordan could be trusted to step his game up. He pretty much always put up at least a very good if not great performance. Embiid can't be trusted to step up when it counts the most!​@@Afineaddition

[@kingarthurveloria9990]

James who harden? Lebron?

[@darrinwood5414]

He was supposed to be the next Greg Oden.... Embiid gave Jokic CRAZY WORK when they played, led the lead in scoring back to back, he's all NBA defensive too, he had bells palsey and couldn't even blink and played on 1 leg, first they love you then they hate you and then they love you again

[@Jangocat]

The NBA is so soft these days, calling Embiid a dirty player cracks me up. I remember the bad boy Knicks and Detroit of the late 80's early 90's, now those were dirty teams. Hell Shaq elbowed Mutombo in the finals. Mutombo had a bleeding lip and still didn't get a call.

[@firefistace2024]

Well, Bad Boy Pistons is also the reason why this NBA became soft, because the NBA needed to set a rule in order to prevent having another Bad Boy Pistons in the future.

[@Luckywuvsu]

The bbp caused fouls not fouls baiting😂

[@spidamitchell8311]

He’s an actual dirty player. It’s more than trash talk or pushing, he had to flagrant fouls on Jarret Allen and 3 this playoff series and elbowed Giannis in the chest and many more dirty calls!!!

[@FencingGold]

He's so good that he doesn't need all the antics. That's what's so frustrating. Just play basketball, stop trying to hurt people, & take the fouls that actually happen.

[@blo6k]

Media bashing players for playoff exits(for views and chump change money) and fans D riding with that is wild.

[@moopert86]

It's their job to create content by putting out opinions. As takes go, this isn't even close to the most far out one. It's rooted in reality and you can agree or disagree. But in the end, you're feeding it by watching and commenting.

[@markburns7854]

This video really puts into perspective how easy it is to fight how good Joel embid can be but that's a very distant memory of embid

[@Ballin9594]

Embiid should have 2-3 MVPs if not for injury. He also would have made it further in playoffs. He’s just injury prone that’s all

[@hemipenes]

Nah

[@jerrypastrana8176]

I could honestly care less for the flopping. Manu Ginobili & Vlade Divac were infamous for introducing it to the league, yet are still very respected players within the basketball circle. It's the Prima Donna attitude for me that alot of these players have without having really actually done anything for their organization. Sure, you had your Shaq's & even LeBron, but they actually provided results & even championships, so they earned the right to command such respect & treatment from whatever organization they play/ed for. These guys however like Embiid & all these other guys putting up large numbers & crazy statlines but haven't really done anything outside of that & think they deserve the whole world to be given to them is what kills me & is one of the major reasons why superteams almost never work. But I think for that exact reason Joel Embiid is hated. Jokic was able to win in Denver despite having zero superstars, yet Embiid who is arguably more talented can't do the same & it's their mentality that separates the two. Embiid is mentally weak.

[@AdminMonke]

"he elbowed brunson straight in the face" brunson precedes to run into embiid's shoulder

[@Joemon_09]

He stuck out his elbow you cant see it in this clip but on the side cam they did you can see it clearly

[@drakevick1646]

The difference between Embiid and Draymond is that what Embiid does is far more dangerous. Draymond just does little crap like sucker punch or nut punch, so it’s like, “Ight, you a bitch for that.” But not any long term damage done. This dude Embiid is straight up taking out guys for the rest of the post season. Mitchell Robinson is now a victim of that, too. And let’s not forget how he was 2 shoe sizes away from curb stomping Grant Williams last post season. Plus, Draymond isn’t 7’1”, 310 lbs. So even if we wanna say Draymond and him are on the same level, or that Draymond is worse (he’s not, but he is was more annoying and persistent with it lmao.) Embiid is just straight up way too big to be doing it Edit: Also, in 478 fewer career games played than Draymond (just 18 more games than half of what Draymond has played), Joel Embiid has accrued 3 more career flagrant fouls than Draymond. So he’s got more flagrant fouls in half as many games. Yeah, he’s worse than Draymond

[@Br0seid0n]

You sound like a biased clown trying to defend Draymond. He choked a dude out which can cause just as much long-term damage (if not more) than anything Embiid has done. Both are dirty players and deserve a bad rep.
