Look at the slashes & cuts on his arm 2:44. The other players are always scratching at him and jabbing at him with their fingernails.
I used to think Embiid was soft, was ducking Jokic, whatever, but the two seem to have great respect for each other, and that's good enough for me.
As a Celtics fan I know this is 100% a classic troll by Embiid against the Nugget fans. Destroy Jokic at Philly and then rob them of all the money they spent wanting to see the battle only to be in street clothes. Embiid ain’t scared of anyone but the Celtics. Y’all forget that Jokic was the king of trolling in the NBA
Bro had a game where he took three shots saying he’s never had an easy game😂😂😂
..why he`s not playing?Joel?
True MVP = Jokic
Lucky night for the Nuggets, when the cat is not home the mice will party all night😁😂🤫
Why ordinary ppl arguing between 2 great players🙄
I’m okay with the DNP. There’s no shame in surrendering to a superior foe (sarcasm emphasized).
Didnt embiid play them last game, like am i tripping?
Embiid scared and soft
The 🤡 is big time scared!!!! GIVE HIM SOME PAMPERS 😂😂😂😂 HAHAHA HOEL THE 🦆
“Nikola Jokic on Joel Embiid after the Nuggets (barely beat the B team) in sixers loss” there fixed the title for ya.
Cassidy🔥
Joker is all class. Wouldn’t expect anything less.
Cameroonians everywhere are ashamed of Joel Embiid…say his name and they will all start staring at the ground.
Pretty funny that Embiid has to be in a game against Jokic. LMAO.
Basketball sux. Six the 90 s ….no heart.
If you're ducking the Champions in the season how are you gonna fight them in the Finals 🤦🏿♂️ my man is crafting the process to permanent and total failure
2019 is literally 5 years ago. Luka came into the NBA in 2018. My man's been ducking smoke for 5 whole years.
In boxing , this is what you call a duck.
No wonder embiid plays lights out when he does play. He rests 5 days a week
JOKER 🃏🃏🃏🤍 such a great person and MVP NBA 🏆🏆🏆
Hi West Hollywood
Embiid fake mvp
Embid stay duckin smoke💨… The league is soft asl nowadays. Sad to see it go downhill so quickly… we only had about 3-4 decades of great NBA basketball. Never again tho🤒
He'll probably get less "knee soreness" if he stop flopping on the floor, but the NBA doesn't like the image of Jokic so yeah…keep inflating Embid stat sheet
What are the people on the court with boards saying "Win" doing?
Jokic will wait him in final.
Embiid sitting out is a weenie move
SHAME on Embiid.
Embad
At least Jokic isn’t afraid to play in Philly
Embiid fans coping so hard. Lmao
Look at this Embiid. He wears Louis Vuitton instead of jersey. Thats why, he never be better player from Nikola.
Maybe it’s an elevation thing. Playing in Denver isn’t easy conditioning wise. Also, many athletes have sickle cell anemia and aren’t allowed to play at high elevations due to the health risks.
Really wonder if Joel would have such kind words for Jokic if he avoided him for 5 years in Philly
Embiid is a fraud. Complains about everything, similar player to Draymond Green.
Scared
If Embiid plays, they might actually win BUT I think he is thinking for the future(playoffs)
It's not even funny anymore!
NBA is a joke, WWE with slightly more unknowns.
real mvps play all games
Embid 💩 He sat in the dressing room the whole game. Sitting on the bench for the last 5 minutes😅
embiid is garbage!
is his nickname niCOLA cause he drinks a lot of coca-cola? or do Americans just don't know how to actually pronounce his name? lol
we cant compare how embid is 6-2 against jokic but ignore who averages more everything in playoffs, who has a ring, and who is finals mvp. God forbid if embid and jokic decided to retire tomorrow, who would have the better career?
Jokic is the REAL MVP!
Philly beat writer said Embiid stayed in Pacers game with injury to keep his 30-10 string going. Doesn't show up on injury report for this game.
Jokic is a class act. And so is Embiid for recognizing that Jokic is the best player in the world at the moment.
He need to miss only 7 more games and he is out of mvp race…😂
Reminds me of how Derrick Coleman talked trash about Karl Malone, then managed to be "injured" for about a decade straight whenever his team would face Utah.
I don't know that this is as nearly obvious as that case, but it's getting there.
