Report: Embiid assaulted a reporter in the locker room

[Spidey Man]

He could have written that article a few different ways, without mentioning his family, and it would have carried the same effect. The disrespect was the point. He's lucky embiid didn't put him in the hospital. As much as I can't stand embiid, I hope the league doesn't fine him too much.

The sixers should have pulled his press pass after the article, and the Inquirer should have edited that part out or made him rewrite it. Embiid was an idiot for falling for the trap and the sixers did him wrong for not standing up for their players

Only homoemotional children get violent over words.

Embiid is over 30, not a hormonal teenager

Your mom suck cock in hell

 

[Dipsey Doo]

Your mom suck cock in hell

You a cool guy talking baseball, I’ll assume you trolling

 

[Kang Deezy]

Another nikka who would get punched in the mouth in real life, y’all still talking about basketball when this situation is clearly beyond that

Embiid deserves to get called out for all his bullshyt

He flops around on the ground more than a toddler

 

[Jazzy B.]

Except Embiid bringing up his dead brother and his son is only for him to speak about and nobody else, let alone use against him.

It's reserved only for Embiid as cogitation.

He's allowed to have stories and experiences of his own that he can share without other folks using it as ammo against him, which Hayes clearly did. Hayes could've easily said something to the effect of "Embiid often says he wants to be great to leave a lasting legacy in Philadelphia, but in order to be leave your mark in the city of Brotherly Love, you must first show up to work".

I'm sure Embiid has made reference to many inspirations in his life, yet Hayes chose to pick the one that would be most triggering.

He knew what he was doing.

You can acknowledge that is the case whilst also being of the opinion that deep down Embiid is hurt by the truth of the matter of what was said about his career, and is simply using what was triggering as rationale to put his hands on Hayes, because he couldn't do it otherwise.

They're not mutually exclusive.

How is his dead brother being used against him by the reporter?

It is literally A FACT that Embiid named HIS SON after his brother who has passed.

Embiid said this WORD FOR WORD in a press conference to... REPORTERS

If Hayes said this: "Joel Embiid consistently points to the death of his brother as the major inflection point in his basketball career. He often says that he wants to be great to leave a legacy for his brother who he named his son after. Well, in order to be great at your job, you first have to show up for work"

I would be agree. But that is NOT what he said.

STOP CODDLING Embiid for failing like y'all did with Benjamin.

It's been used against him because it's iillustrating a point that he's not living up to his word.

Why does he have to mention that his son is named after his dead brother? Why possible relevance is that to the point he's trying to make?

Furthermore, he doesn't need to be bringing up his son either. Why bring up family members to use against a player? Why did he feel the need to even mention his son? What relevance does his son have to the piece? What relevance do any of his family members have here?

If you answer is Embiid has made reference to leaving a legacy for his son, then that's only relevant to him. That point is for him and him alone to make, not anyone else. When you speak about your family, nobody else has the right to speak about it, unless it's absolutely paramount.

Hayes is basically saying Embiid isn't doing a good job at leaving a legacy for his child. It's in bad taste, it's unprofessional and it's not even remotely relevant.

Why couldn't he speak solely about Embiid without bringing up any of his family members? You don't think he could've made the same point by bringing up someone like Dr. J and use the parallels of his career in comparison to Embiid's? You don't think using a past basketball player wouldn't be more relevant to use given that you know Embiid plays the same game and is trying to acheive the same goals?

This isn't about coddling him.

Hayes literally could've used anything else as reference, but he chose to bring up Embiid's son, he then shamelessly pointed out how Embiid's son is named after his dead brother. What the fukk does the origin of his son's name have to do with anything? Would he have brought it up if his son's name was named after a cartoon character who he grew up watching? If your answer is no, then why did he feel the need to bring it up?

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

fukk Embiid and the reporter. They both bytches.

 

[DonRe]

Are we reading the same article.

Why are ya missing the point that he brought up the fact that his brother is dead and named his son after said brother, to shyt on his professionalism.

Its an entry to shyt on embid and in so
Many words, say he is letting his son down.

I mean he shouldnt let that get to him but i cant totally fault him.

 

[KnickstapeCity]

Haynes wrote a pointed and fair criticism of Embiid’s words being the opposite of his actions. Embiid is an 11 year vet who should have the ability to take criticism in stride.

Embiid using his brother and son as a shield to try to bully and intimidate a reporter because he didn’t like what he wrote is weak to me.

I can’t stand that goofy c00n fakkit Embiitch but what are you talking about, breh? Boy… You tripping.

 

[Kang Deezy]

Because the article is about Embiid's commitment and his FAILINGS with The Sixers


You're pretending like the reporter shytted on his brother when all he did is repeat what Embiid said in a damn press conference which is that he wants to be great for his son and added factual context that his son is named after his brother who passed


What you're making out was said: "Joel Embiid consistently points to the death of his brother as the major inflection point in his basketball career. He often says that he wants to be great to leave a legacy for his brother who he named his son after. Well, in order to be great at your job, you first have to show up for work"

What was actually said: "Joel Embiid consistently points to the birth of his son, Arthur, as the major inflection point in his basketball career. He often says that he wants to be great to leave a legacy for the boy named after his little brother, who tragically died in an automobile accident when Embiid was in his first year as a 76er. Well, in order to be great at your job, you first have to show up for work"

You don’t expect some of these idiots to actually take the time to research, before they speak do you?

Because Embiid PUBLICLY said this was a turning point for him as A PLAYER


Why wouldn't it be brought up?

Hayes is basically saying Embiid isn't doing a good job at leaving a legacy for his child.

NO he's saying Embiid ISN'T doing a good job because he's OVERWEIGHT and OUT OF SHAPE which we both know is a damn fact which is why Embiid is salty.

 

[Mike_Pipeson]

People who are saying Embiid wouldn't have done that to a white reporter... That clown journalist wouldn't have wrote his story like he did about a white player.

If he gets his wig split, words, even in written form, have consequences.
