Embiid gives his thoughts on Kenny’s commentary of All Star Saturday night. Safe to say he wasn’t the biggest fan.
Embiid also had this to say in a later tweet: “I’m a professional hater but I’m not hating when I say I could win the dunk contest with these scores but not sure the knees would allow it lmao”
Troel Embiid making a return?

Embiid is all of us tonight
Cook him big fella
why did they pick kenny to be a commentator horrible for ratings horrible for the viewing experience
Embiid should be doing colour commentary
Embiid legacy points +25
He’s right. Kenny be saying the most stupid bullshit shit every second.
Kenny Smith has ruined this night.
The biggest loser of the night is definitely Kenny Smith’s reputation
My God, was he insufferable tonight
Glad I’m not the only one that thought guy Kenny was being cringe af.
lmaoo honestlty he’s been way too annoying
Why is Embiid making me like him
Man it should be so easy to commentate all star Saturday night, just hype up everything.
He was such a bummer tonight especially during such a momentous moment (the Steph/Sabrina shootout)
Wtf I love Embiid now
Give us Gil and Shannon commentary
Kenny with an all-time haters performance. I got to give it to him 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 haven’t seen that level of hating on an NBA broadcast for 2 and a half hours in a minute.
Monumental hater and specifically, sad and stupid comments in regards to Sabrina needing to ‘shoot from the WNBA line’… his mic needed to be cut after the skills competition
Kenny is lucky asf Chuck doesn’t hang around the Saturday events following the pregame show lol
He was grumpy but I won’t lie it made the night pretty entertaining. I had no clue what he’d say next!
From Sabina talk, to the Indy hate, bad chemistry with Reggie not a good look
Fuck y’all I thoroughly enjoyed Kenny. But it might be because I agreed with all his opinions, it was like I had my own advocate on the show lol. For example, couldn’t get over how much Mac McClung was getting robbed after his first dunk and I swear Kenny was the only one making sense lmao.
But as always, the banter with Kenny, Reggie and everyone was funny and entertaining 🤷🏽♂️
Based on his criticism of the dunk scores, which Kenny shares, Id argue he actually enjoyed the commentary
Embiid needs to start drinking some synovial fluid
What can i say about Kenny’s commentary that hasn t already been said about Afghanistan? It was bombed out and depleted.
The talk about markennen being a #2 was so….left field.
i thought kenny was hilarious tonight. didn’t watch steph vs sabrina.
The Player Haters’ Ball
Kenny is insufferable man this dude needs to fuck off
I’d be getting drunk too if Chuck roasted me in front of millions before the festivities even started 😂
He was annoying as fuck last year too if I remember correctly. It’s time to retire Kenny from the all star duties. Reggie can go too
Embiid is entertained and yall offended
Lmao
In addition to the general hating he was having some weird all-in-his-own-head battle with Reggie to be the king of the others (even though Reggie ain’t no other) while Reggie is just there trying to be chill and positive.
Kenny is living off the legacy of his voice covering Vince and Dwight’s dunk contests.
He’s washed and annoying on coms
Me when Kenny is commentating: “let’s go home”
Wtf hey. It genuinely felt like he was going to say (and should’ve just said) awwww I wanted Sabrina to win. Which is fine tonnes of people were?
Then he felt weird about saying that (macho shit?) and instead went to pointing out the differences that “handicapped” her. Ionescu said she’d shoot from the men’s 3. Fucking baller just amp her up and say she was awesome.
Can’t wait for Embiid to cut a promo at Wrestlemania and get an easy win like his knees can even handle a top rope bump
“Troel Embiid” is so cringey
did he shout “it’s over, ladies and gentlemen..it’s over” like 30x? 😂
It’s so funny because Kenny is notorious for sitting on the fence with just about any topic. While Shaq and Chuck will speak their mind, Kenny was always afraid of backlash.
I imagine he’d be mortified by all this
How are yall hating on Kenny dude was so funny
Embid cried after losing, on national TV. His opinion is beyond irrelevant.
Better hope he is because if he was sober and saying the shit he was saying on air… Oof.
