r/NBA mods have a bias against Joel Embiid and towards Nikola Jokic.



A post in April of 2022 titled [Raptors hunt and score on Embiid for 6 straight possessions](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/ucghgq/highlight_raptors_hunt_and_score_on_embiid_for_6/) got 6,000 upvotes and was not removed. The comments lampooned Embiid as you can imagine.

To add on, a post saying “[Joel Embiid is 7’1 with six straight jumpers and three turnovers in crunch time. Zion Williamson, 6’6, attacked the basket every play, made layups, and drew fouls. Sixers fans have been in denial for years. But Ben Simmons isn’t there anymore to blame when playoffs start](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/zzyml2/louallen_joel_embiid_is_71_with_six_straight/)” got nearly 10k upvotes and was not removed.

It was a Tweet made by an account with 4000 followers. This would be fine, but fast-forward to today, and [this video](https://streamable.com/nqtmvq) critiquing Jokic’s defense is getting censored and removed everytime it’s posted to r/nba with little explanation.

I’m fine with lowlights. Go ahead and post them. But to remove lowlights for some players and keep them for others? That’s questionable. Why was the Jokic defensive lowlight post removed, but Embiid’s wasn’t? This is a clear anti-Embiid bias being put out by the mods.

    Yeah man. This shit has been obvious. But this one is definitive proof.

  2. HisExcellency20

    Idgaf about the mods on r/NBA because the entire sub is incredibly biased against Joel but those lowlights are hilarious. Especially the first two plays. That’s not even token defense.

  3. uchihastar

    Raptors fan supporting yall in this war idgaf lol

  4. Thegrandmistressofoz

    The second one was fucking hilarious, Joel had 37 points and was great until the last 2 minutes where he was sloppy. And context: we were down double digits most of the 4th, his turnovers just put us out of reach

    Some guy posts a tweet from a fan account with like 1000 followers, zero context no highlights nothing, and it stays up. It’s amazing how they don’t even hide it

    Is it surprising the casual fan on Reddit likes Jokic so much and dislikes Embiid / Harden / Trae etc? They’re literally never gonna see shit like this against them (and when they do ie: Jokic paralyzing Morris, 90% of the comments are people dickriders hoping Jokic can kill him properly next time)

  5. tyler1118

    Suns fan supporting this cause, fuck r/nba mods.

  6. WhereDaHinkieFlair

    Fuck the mods! They’re all a bunch of fascist assholes, except sixers ones 😉

    Reddit is built around the upvote and the downvote self-moderating content quality. And yet they all feel obligated to stick their stupid fucking noses in everything. Moderating should be for ridding the place of violence, hatred, and irrelevance, but if a post is good or bad, or wanted or not, it will get upvoted or downvoted accordingly.

  7. tryingtodad

    Kind of a known fact at this point not really news

  8. That’s why I joined this sub . The bitching is everyday and 10/10

  9. christophnbell

    They’re loser babies. That’s pretty much it

  10. PattyRikk

    Bro pls post this on r/nba this is digusting

  11. Lakers fan here to show support. Fuck r/nba and their dogshit mods. Keep fighting the good fight.

  12. Mustard_Jam

    Bro straight up stuck his leg out to trip DeRozan wtf lmao.

  13. dishwasher_mayhem

    C’mon…keep my peanut butter out of your chocolate! Don’t bring that place in here!

  14. Efficient-Screen4931

    Preach! They muzzle anyone who is pro Joel in there. I got a temporary ban for starting the conversation of Joel being the better defender. It’s actually very sad. They don’t welcome ball talk, it has to fit their narratives. Simply disgusting

  15. Expose their asses. That place has been so blatantly biased for as long as I can remember.

  16. Count_Joshoo

    I just got a temp ban for posting it. What’s the deal with those mods?

  17. Prestigious-Rock201

    Yea and you want me to believe what Perkins said was a lie because it makes people uncomfortable? LMFAOOOO

  18. krazykarl94

    The NBA has a bias against the Sixers as it is

  19. Dogfish1313

    Because I have the diarrhea…ahahahaa(in deep Ebiid laugh)

  20. MarkFerk

    It’s not even Joel as much as Philly hate

  21. gigaquack

    Jokic gets less criticism for his defense than MVP Steph did despite playing the most important defensive position in basketball

  22. Halfonion

    I really hope Jo wins a chip. I’m gonna be walking around with dick out for at least a week, maybe longer.

  23. Pretty sure they’re racist against Joel Embiid

  24. palerthanrice

    You guys sound like Kendrick Perkins blaming this on race.

    The bottom line is that the mods over there don’t like the Sixers. They’ve been known to repeatedly delete Sixers post game threads after big wins, suppressing discussion and limiting exposure. They repeatedly remove Sixers highlights, not just from Embiid either.

    This Jokic post was candy for anybody pointing out how much of a better defender Embiid is, and that’s the sole reason why they removed it. Not because Jokic is white and they need to “protect the white boy.”

    It’s still incredibly pathetic, but you guys are assigning a more hateful and nefarious reason behind this bullshit, with no evidence, and it’s detracting from the real issue and making you all look dumb.

  25. CHRIRSTIANGREY

    this mf jokic is a straight up cone lmfao

  26. milkman406

    Just tried posting it. Will report results lol

  27. GrandmaJosey

    80% of the r/NBA mods are white -Kendrick Perkins

  28. therealjgreens

    I’m a Knicks fan. Joel gives me PTSD. Jokic is fantastic but Embiid is a 2 way monster. Best basket getting big since Hakeem with all NBA D. I think he’s having a better season overall. With a worse coach in a tougher division. Also FWIW Denver has the greatest home advantage in the NBA. I think Embiid on that Denver team instead of Jokic would be even better. Embiid training at high altitudes is just wild to think about. He’s already a monster.

  29. Nobody likes us. We care a lot.
    Fuck the media, they’ll be choking when we win a chip

  30. BlandSausage

    I want a Nuggets Sixers Finals more than anything

  31. i would imagine they all hold Jokic MVP futures and are trying to control the narrative as much as they possibly can.

    remember how quickly the JJJ story spread? if people start seeing Jokic for what he actually is they would start feeling a little different about him because we all know the voters dont actually watch the nuggets
