Joel Embiid smirking after another 2nd round exit: "Like someone (Giannis) said its not a failure, its steps to success"

Has Giannis' quote done more harm?

There is no shame in losing to a better team. But it's a shame in how you lose. Bum ass Harden bailed them out in two games. Embiid played like MVP for one game, maybe two. There is also a shame in getting destroyed in the biggest decisive game of your season.

Tatum dropped 50. If Embiid dropped 40 and still lost, at least you could respect his effort.

If I am getting paid that much money, I honestly wouldn't care much about a championship lol. 31 team loses every year. I go back to my wealth and I entertained fans for a season.
You are right, 31 team loses every year. The Seattle Supersonics and Baltimore Bullets can't even sniff a damn win.

What are you talking bout? Nuggets had no Murray and MPJ for two postseasons.

If Embiid had to carry his team without Harden and Maxey, with Tobias being his best option, then no one would say a thing about Sixers going home early.
He has a torn knee and a sprained ankle and people are saying he should get it done anyway though

This is why I would never talk to the media if I was famous. There was an article that said 10 percent of people read past the headline. nikka spent 90 percent of his interview saying he should get all the blame but this what people will run with. But fukk it, he has generational wealth.

How about a simple 'we underachieved and the buck stops and starts with me the MVP'?

There's been one constant since they've gotten popped every year from Brown to Doc- HIM.

It's not your choice to talk to the media when you are employed.

But other than that, you are right. I didn't even listen to him but I scrolled through the comments just to see at least one person explaining what he actually said. And not surprising everyone who were commenting were just commenting the headline, as per the usual with this twitter generation.

I don't get it, why do you wanna comment on shyt you know nothing about. It's like reviewing a book of its cover.

Giannis didn't get as much heat because NBA fans in general like him and he's already delivered. He said, 'fukk forming super teams, I'm doing this where I started'. People respected him for that.

If he was a whiny flopper like Joel without a championship, the reaction to that comment about failure would have been much different.

This is every year with him. If Child Porn 3 gets smoke for getting injured every year in the postseason then so should MVPlead
Man, you really fukked me up with this.

I was like, who he talking about (I immediately thought of the Mailman), and I was racking my brain trying to think, then I was going to Google it - yeah, well, needless to say I caught myself before I did.

:laugh: Embiid gonna have to load manage like crazy to have title hopes, but then he'll never be eligible for individual awards again.

Trade off ain't worth it for him
He’s a loser. You’ll never win anything with him.
