Normally we don’t make threads on articles. But did you guys read that Joel article.

[THE 101]

The Embiid hate to me was always way OT. A lot of it seemed to come from salty Jokic fans.

I don't love every thing about Embiid's game and his playoff record just ain't good enough, but there's a level of hate for him that seems way out of proportion.

Embiid is soft lol WTF nikkas switchin em cause they got emotional off article? Its his playstyle. nikka 7ft 290lbs at least least and when it matter in playoffs when defenses clamp down instead of usin his size advantage over damn near everyone nikka wanna shoot fadeaways and play like a wing. Look at how Giannis or even Jokic when games slow down in halfcourt they bully nikkas in the post or inside like they post to.

He was also raised upper middle class IIRC maybe not wealthy wealthy but had a comfy life. Jokic country was bein bombed durin a war while he grew up and Giannis had to sell to be a street vendor at a early age sellin cheap sunglasses and little items just to survive livin in a 1 bedroom apartment wit his whole family. Giannis and Jokic def not soft but Embiid is he don't got they mentality which the main difference cause he just as talented. Lol I was all pro Embiid durin all Jokic debates till truth got too obvious to ignore. nikkas sayin he not soft now cause they read a article? Nah we not doin that

What does him being middle class have to do with anything. You can’t be soft and play through what he did and does. If he’s soft then I would assume you take no sick days off ever right.
