Ain’t no way they would let somebody say some shyt in real life like “If you want to honor your dead brother and your son, you need to show up to work and perform ”
At that point nikka fukk this job, I’ma beat the fukk out you
But for Joel: ”He makes millions, so he should stop crying”
Total clowns

He can win and people still will hate him. They still gonna call him out his nameMarcus Hayes should be slapped upside the head.
With that said, for better or worse, this is the nature that is the NBA, where anyone and everyone will use whatever they can to paint a picture of you, and the only way you can get folks to pick up a certain brush that makes you and/or your career appear in an oil painting, full of color and grandiose illustration, is to perform beyond what they expect of you.
No amount of excuses or explanation (no matter how legitimate it is) will get you to change folks' minds -- it can even have the opposite efffect.
Unfortunately for Embiid, this is a case of The Boy Who Cried Wolf - all those times he's cried, complained and even vocalized embracing being the "bad guy", where along comes an instance where he's well within his right to last back, nobody is really going to care because of all the times he's unnecessarily brought heat upon himself. The very first response in this thread was telling him to STFU and it has double digit daps - that should tell you right there of how he's perceived.
The only way he can make this narrative about himself change is winning. Nothing more, nothing less.
Winning a title in Philly (the city he was drafted to; a franchise that hasn't won a title in 40 years, will erase all that), without a shadow of a doubt.He can win and people still will hate him. They still gonna call him out his name
Case in point Lebron

Another example Russ
Mvps ,championships, and conference finals appearances
shyt wont change. None of it matters
if this was against a specific journalist, then why talk about fans ? why not call him out ?
That comes from rubbing elbows and sharing space with people they secretly envy and wish they were. Then they become overly familiar and feel like have the answers.Sports reporters at times really have a God complex when it comes to their interaction with athletes
