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

[@whatcolorareyour6championships]

@@NAMISIMP which shouldve never happened because he shouldve been suspended

[@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.

[@henningts]

Not to forget that he begged France for a passport and wanted to play for them and after he got it he changed his mind and asked the USA the same. This guy has no back bone.

Okay that one is on France, Embiid wasn't born in France, he has never lived in France, and they wanted him to have citizenship just so he could play basketball for them at the Olympics. Straight up France's fault, I can't blame Embiid for wanting to play for a country he actually lives in.

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.

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

[@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.

[@Conky1452]

Forgot to mention that before the injury in January he was already almost at the limit for games missed in a season before not getting awards. That’s crazy

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

Only difference between LeBron and Embiid is that LeBron at least partially makes up for his flopping and crying by showing up in the playoffs. Embiid will do the same amount of whining but drop a triple single in game 7

[@noisepuppet]

Embiid is an incredible player, and the flopping and clever cheaty fouls are annoying, just like a lot of other stars past and present. But his actions in that last series were a new low for him. I don't remember him doing this before.

[@ogforthreee9348]

idk i mean i think the first players players i remember not liking because of foul baiting were kd with his rip through, harden and trae young with his stopping and jumping into defenders. However embiid is different from them, all 3 of those players hunted for those fouls, they played smartly to abuse the nba rules (kd,trae ), or they utlized their position on the court and defensive stances to get theirs (harden with holding defenders arms when they reached, trae by blowing by and stopping) embiid just runs and flops hoping he gets a call that is not hunting for fouls like the others he just foul baits dropping to the floor almost every possesion just to try and sell a contact that was never there.

[@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.
