[Sean Banard] Joel Embiid: “When you got some guys in the league, the eye test tells you that they’re not good defensively, but analytics tell you they’re the best defenders. That’s when analytics don’t make sense at all.”

    Joel is lurking everywhere at all times on social media.

  2. BiSportsFan

    Tonight’s game is going to fucking wreck me emotionally

  3. lardbiscuits

    Joel’s CUMRAPTOR and BLANCO/36 just dropped 30%

  4. But thats not what the analytics says. The problem isnt with the analytics, its with peoples lack of understanding of the analytics.

  5. justing97

    Lmao yeah Joel ain’t missing the game tonight

  6. MikeyMortadella

    Yo, I understand why he said it, but maybe leave this to the fanbase/media to push this narrative for you. Whenever Jojo opens up to the media candidly he gets eviscerated for it and I have a feeling this is gonna backfire lol.

  7. DizzyJHippy

    What a day for these quotes to come out.. we better win!

  8. battletor7

    Its kinda true though. Embiid is always on twitter lol

  9. bravof1ve

    Another game of watching Maxey spend half the shot clock trying to pass the ball cleanly to Joel Embiid terrifies me

  10. ComeAtMeYo

    Hi Jojo, I know you’re probably on this subreddit lmao. But you’re 100% right~

    Harden took the last few games out, I expect that this game has been circled before there road trip. I expect embiid and Harden to play, with a healthy sixers roster. They should wjn this one from Denver and further prove that Embiid is MVP

  12. PhromDaPharcyde

    It sounds like he’s had this in his head for a while.

    Joel has to give 100% on both ends, otherwise “he takes plays off” or “he has bad body lanuage”.

  13. BigDeezerrr

    Go off, King! We ride or die with Jo here. F analytics.

  14. Primary-Lie3886

    Is james playing tonight tho. embiid might drop 40

  15. He better have a career game tonoght, otherwise these comments paired with a mediocre performance will cost him the award.

  16. Commercial-Ad90

    It’s hilarious that many of you guys were saying Joel doesn’t care about winning the MVP or not anymore

  17. Successful-Dig2818

    I’m fully prepared to lose and have Jokic outperform him, and then for r/NBA to explode with the sound of clowns cumming, whatever that is.

  18. PessimistSixersFan

    Boy I sure hope this doesn’t backfire…

  19. Plenty_You8835

    I’m betting for 50+ points Joel embiid tonight

  20. girlfriend_pregnant

    It’d be pretty funny if he had to sit tonite out

  21. Spirited-Praline1094

    Can’t believe he’s calling out Giannis like this :/

  22. It’s funny watching neutral fans absolutely melt down about this. Everyone always says they want 90s rivalries and outspoken players back, but then cry when they get it. Really they only want it if the player is from the lakers/warriors/Celtics, or is white lol

  23. Joel “Eye Test Guy” Embiid. He still finds new ways to keep me in love with him after all these years.

  24. DerTagestrinker

    I mean it’s been shown that home staff goose certain players stats…
