ESPN ADMITS THE TRUTH About Joel Embiid



ESPN ADMITS THE TRUTH About Joel Embiid

When you look around the NBA media one of the biggest if not the biggest yish critics is Kendrick Perkins and of course big perk is also a massive jool and be Defender as in the past two three years Perkin made a full of himself routinely overrating embiid and undering

Yic and his skill set now today thank God Perkins finally finally finally is calling out and be for his Antics and ducking routinely plus okay and you know what that means Serbian that means that means scared and usually I’m joking and laughing about my word of the day but

Damn it Malik I’m so serious right now when I say this he’s been scared for the last four years to have someone like Hendrick Perkins in my view the dumbest voice in sports biggest NB Defender joic critic saying that about Jo well it speaks volumes and look for once in my

Life I 100% agree with big perk as embiid skipping these games missing out on playing top tier teams opting to play the bottom feeding teams it’s gotten out of hand and it’s completely ridiculous and when it comes to MVP I would say last year and this year embiid pulling

Those stunts disqualifies him from winning that award and typically speaking being a top 10 player top five player some argue top three the standard you’re held to is much much higher and being a one time MVP potentially back-to-back MVP the standard you hold yourself to is

Much much higher now for Joel embiid one of the biggest PL droppers of all time the standard I hold him to isn’t really that high but even with that being said embiid constantly comes up short of that standard and one of my biggest problems with embiid he’s obviously

Injury-prone but even more so picks and chooses which teams to beat up on and which teams to sit out against and look I found this pretty fascinating looking at embiid and his roog games Mist versus roog games play it’s a pretty interesting contrast of the games he’s

Missed at Minnesota at New Orleans at Boston Miami Houston Orlando Chicago Atlanta and Denver looking at those teams six of the nine are above 500 now looking at game Joel has played on the road at Washington at Detroit twice at Charlotte twice Orlando OKC Toronto Atlanta Brooklyn Indiana and Milwaukee

Out of those 12 games eight of those teams are below 500 could you call it a coincidence maybe you could when a player like embiid is averaging 36 points per game having a dominant year you got to look more in depth at his stats and the teams actually playing against at more times

Than not the team he’s beating up on are the bottom fitting teams in the NBA and conveniently enough when he has a quote-unquote injury needs rest he’s playing some of the top teams at the Bucks Celtics and of course Denver Nuggets and if you still want to debate jic vers embiid

Embiid vers Giannis the top tier guys what you got to take into account these guys being available and being healthy as historically speaking Giannis and joic are almost always available come playoff time and during the regular season compared to be who already has missed 12 total games before the allstar

Break compared to yic we only missed one and look I’ll give Adam Silver credit one of the best things he’s ever done is a rule change for a minimum games played to an MVP or make an all NBA team guys playing in the mid 60s low 60s still

Making all NBA teams all defensive teams even winning MVPs was kind of disgraceful I mean for example if one guy only plays 60 games to the other guy playing 80 games and they have really the equal Seasons the tie has to go to the guy who played 80 games and it’s

About time Adam Silver the NBA in general implemented a rule to punish those players who sit out games and rward those guys who are always available and when it comes to Joel embid my theory on him of why he’s missing so many games one of course he’s ducking the tough matchup ducking yic

Giannis the top tier players but also he doing on purpose to eliminate himself putting MVP having the burden of that pressure as come playoff time yet again he Flames out doesn’t make the finals or even East finals the flag he get May one time MVP be nearly as much the two-time

MVP now looking back Kendrick Perkins of course his overall take was spot on but in there very quickly he said jool embid was the best offensive player in the world world and everyone knows how I feel about Joel embi I think he’s one of the most skilled big man to ever play

The game of basketball I think he’s the best offensive player in the game today when it comes to joic versus embiid who’s the better offensive player who’s the better playoff offensive player jic the better score more efficient the much much better passer better offens rebounder and better shooter from the

Everywhere on the back basketball court if you’re going to talk about who’s the better offensive player what you got to look at is the playoffs versus the toughest team toughest matchups with adequate rest and their best game plans and quite honestly the reg season it’s become so devalued almost a joke and

Some nights it’s a glorified allstar game so what you got to look to is the NBA playoffs and when you do that yish definitively is a better offensive player and better player in General than INB so look Perkins again had a I would say 80% good take with a tiny pinch of

An awful take look it’s progress not Perfection baby steps baby steps that one day Perkins with a foolproof great take and one last thing I do in a hit on is the NBA’s constant problem the past decade of load management and look this problem somewhat it was fixed this this year as

Even guys like kawh Leonard Anthony Davis guys who load manage set out games are playing the majority of Prime Time games and games in general and having that 65 game cap from the MVP Mak an all NBA team that’s a brilliant idea but the problem still persists that some guys

Like embiid are going to low manage no matter what and for the NBA product the fans the ratings people in the stadium paying money for those tickets it just demoralizes them and disrespects the entire game and if I’m Adam Silver I’m kind of just tossing my hands up like

What can I do you find these teams penalize them MoneyWise that’s a slap on the wrist no one really cares and worst of all it’s after the fact that already happened I mean Mike Malone the Nuggets coach he was hinting at the NBA possibly investigating and be sitting out out

They’re going to do a deep dive on it get to the bottom of the story and really bring it to Justice again look investigate it all you want but it already happened it’s a done deal what it comes down to a load management players ducking games is having much

More Pride like guys back in the day as playing all two games being the Iron Man of the NBA it used to mean something and unfortunate for guys today it really doesn’t mean anything in sitting games is common place and if you want to talk yogic vers embid specifically the

Difference is in those two players again joic always available a playoff Riser an NBA champion and a rightful MVP Joel embiid I hate to say it he’s just one of those guys who has the talent the potential with that one little extra thing is just missing and whatever that

Thing is joic he has it the great ones like magic Burr Jordan Kobe LeBron Duncan those guys also had that it factor that made them great when I look at embiid I really don’t see that in him and until he wins a championship has a deep playoff run look I’m going to keep

Saying it because it’s true as embiid at this point is a glorified James Harden playing Center so as always think as watching hope you enjoyed it I’ll you next time

If Big Perk is saying this you know it’s bad. Hope you enjoy.

  1. Guys can surprise us. Remember Dirk? The year he was meant to win the NBA Finals with Dallas they were a bust & lost to the Heat. Then the next time around, years later when they were meant to lose, he played out of his skin & Dallas won. This was LeBron's meltdown year. I get why you don't trust Joel in the playoffs. His history isn't good. He still could surprise us. This has been his best regular season to date. Let's see if it can translate into the playoffs for a change. He did have a huge game against The Joker not long ago when the 76ers beat them the previous time. Peace.

  2. I'm not even mad about Embiid load managing. He's bigger and heavier than most other guys in the NBA. 82 games hits those knees differently. I'm more annoyed that he won MVP over the guy he'd ducking.

  3. I think players that don't play the minimum 65 games who's teams make it to playoffs should be sat and not be allowed to play in the playoffs.

  4. Embid is still awesome. Dude just put up 70. Kind of feels like you're hating on him …. 2 years ago he should have won the MVP and he was snubbed if he won last year then they just fixed what they fd up the year b4.

  5. I think he took himself out of the MVP race by ducking the Nugs. Voters will think, 'he has his one MVP, he hasn't played like an MVP in the postseason, and now this. He's not getting another vote until he shows us something more. Too many other worthy candidates deserve consideration for him to be chosen.

  6. Embiid's 3 point plan to get MVP again. 1) play at least 65 games. 2) Get over 30 points per game by getting garbage points against below 0.5 teams. 3) Avoid other Big men (so he won't lose to them).

  7. I mean there is reason in Olympics he will be playing for US instead France or Cameroon .He will be easy to be spotted in those teams as a fraud

  8. The easiest way to fix this is to do it like they do in school, you miss a game, you get a 0 for all stats for that game that add toward your average. Simple.

  9. perkins is a racist, NBA is a black centric basketball association, who prioritize blacks over white athletes. which is why if not for the white european players, its not watchable. Embid is being propped by the league coz they know fans where disappointed he was given the mvp last year over jokic. jordan, kobe, curry, the lakers, the bulls all were propped up for ratings. its a scam league.

  10. 7:34 Embiid travels not once but twice on the same play. Picks up pivot foot before dribbling to start drive then once he comes to a stop, changes his pivot again. Now by no means is this an Embiid problem alone, but I think weā€™d find a lot of the offensive explosion weā€™re seeing would come back to earth if they prevented offensive players from getting an upper hand by playing fast and loose with the rules.

  11. The reason why Embiid flopping is etched in people's minds is because he has shown that he can be a dominant player. So when he flops from a light contact, it looks ridiculous and the fans don't like it.

  12. 1/2 the time Embid plays like my sister – the other 1/2 he plays like a Star…its hard to decipher his psyche – ,but no one takes my sister seriously

  13. I fukking LOVE that Embiid's "MVP" will forever have an asterisk and/or a question mark next to it in the record books šŸ˜ just absolutely baffles me how some idiot black ass NBA analyst decided to create a narrative about racist BS… and that ended up costing Jokic the MV3peat!?!? If a fukking white guy had done that– holy uprising from hell!! Everybody woulda been calling for his job. He would have been fired, blacklisted, and banned from ever working in sports or news again.

    The only solace I got from it all… is that Jokic stuck his middle fingers to Perkins & anyone else that shared in that bullsh!t by showing the world what a REAL MVP can do. He DOMINATED Ant, KAT, Gobert, KD, Booker, CP3, Lebron, AD, Jimmy B, and Bam on his way to a WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP and a well deserved FINALS MVP

  14. Let Embiid duck all the good players and teams because heā€™ll keep losing in the 2nd round. If you play and practice against the best, youā€™ll end up being the best and eventually have a chance to win. Keep playing that weak competition and youā€™ll play weak and not be able to close out a series when it matters most. No titles for Embiid anytime soon as long as he does this.

  15. in the NBA an employee can miss 1 out of every 5 days of work and still win the Employee of the Year.
    In any other job on earth if you miss 1 out of every 20 days of work, you will be fired.

  16. Embiid wouldn't be hurt so much if he'd quit flailing and falling to the ground with every light graze. I've seen my grandma take out an entire endcap of Dr Pepper without stumbling, yet this behemoth of a man can't withstand a stationary wrist brushing against his shoulder. Quit with the dramatics – it makes you look weak, and that floor you flop on has less give than an arm.

  17. the minimum game threshold should have been at the very least 70 games, probably 72. missing 17 games and still winning mvp is ridiculous.

  18. Perk is just a racist. There is nothing more to it. Embid is the black guy. Jokic is the white guy. That's the only thing he cares about. He made that very apparent.

  19. i just love the contrast between jokic and embiid and the debate because itā€™s just people that love the game and people that love flashy highlights

    jokic is a near perfect player. a player that doesnā€™t care about the stats, the lights, the music. heā€™s there to play the game, whether he has to score 50 or 10, get 22 or 3 assists, always rebounds, and puts the team first.

    embiid just cares about his stats, how heā€™s perceived, and how much he can score and find an easy way to the playoffs.

  20. Embiid is a fraud, not a guy you could trust leading your team to a championship. The Sixers should trade him should he fails again this season (and he will fail) and start building around Tyrese Maxey.

  21. I thought about the other night and embiid to me is basically a slightly better/more modern boogie cousins. Theyā€™ll never win anything as the number 1 guy on a team but they have too much ego to be number 2

  22. Introduce availability stats. Count games missed as 0s across the board. Players with a 30+ pts average will think twice whether to sit out or not.

  23. He folds up like origami on cue every year. Joel Embid will never win anything. You can see the look of total defeat on his face every time.
