Joel E: “I’ve played with a risk of losing my vision, I think it’s B.S for people to say I don’t want to play I've done too much for this f*cking city

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 ” :unimpressed:

At that point nikka fukk this job, I’ma beat the fukk out you :dahell:

But for Joel: ”He makes millions, so he should stop crying” :troll:

Total clowns :dead:

Exactly. Coward shyt.

A real one views celebrity as a neutral thing. It don’t move me either way. They just regular people

On the flip side people moved by that will either fan out, or worse and what we seeing now is nggas become trolls, agitators, a athlete/celeb unlocks their own insecurity so they act out.

shyts actually kinda gay tbh. Cucky. Dudes abandon man law, putting another man above them just bc he got money :scust:

Marcus 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 folks to change their 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", when 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.

:manny:

Look at what happened to Bron the moment he won in Cleveland. He was immortalized.

the Sixers never reached the ECF with Embiid lol 😂 Not even once 😂🤣

Philly sports fans are patient and still
Support him. But for how much long?

Breh bashes the folks who always have been behind him. He seems entitled, ungrateful, petty and immature as fukk. This journalist was out of pocket, but the fans didn’t have anything to do with him. Joel Embiid should have blamed him only, not the entire Sixers fanbase.

The Sixers had plenty of chances to advance to the ecf but they blew it :mjlol:

In their second round series:

They should have beat the 2018 Celtics
The 2021 hawks, the 2022 Heat and the 2023 Celtics. The 2019 raptors were stacked though. But the other teams could have been defeated.



People laughed at the DeRozan/Lowry raptors during the Lebronto era because they were playoff chokers( before Masai traded demar for Kawhi) and they still went to the ECF in 2016. Why the Embiid-led Sixers never get hit with the choker label?

Sports reporters at times really have a God complex when it comes to their interaction with athletes
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.

Add having a platform and you get shyt like this.

Sports journalists is at the bottom rung of jobs anywhere. Never respected the profession.
