> Jokic does the same exact ripthrough that Embiid gets crucified for

> Commentators spend 30 seconds gushing about how he is “the smartest” player in the game, “so smart,” just, you know, so so smart

    Why would we want to emulate that loser behavior?

  2. Chiefster21

    Jesus Christ, what a monster. He should be thrown out of the league for taking advantage of the rules like that

    Who, and I can’t emphasize this next part enough, cares

    Can’t drop your arms. It’s a gimme foul and good on Embiid and Jokic for exploiting all the lazy defensive players in the NBA.

    I was watching and heard the same thing live. You can’t make this up

    You forget because of the memes and how much they are used that the whole “lunch pail guy” thing is a meme for a reason. Jokic is just a smart player for drawing a foul meanwhile Joel is baiting and is a menace for doing so.

    I don’t like to make things about race but man, sometimes it’s just too apparent.

    r/NBA gives Jokic a pass because he’s just so damn relatable to the users on that sub

    Just a reminder, Jokic would probably think those people shitting on Joel are losers.

    Jokic is a great player, one of the greats of our lifetime.

    We’re lucky that we have a generational talent of our own, and while 90% of NBA fans don’t recognize Embiid for his greatness, we don’t need their acknowledgment. Enjoy what we have because it won’t last forever; and that includes enjoying greatness from the opposition as well.

    I was so young when MJ was on his second 3peat, but I was old enough to see the significance and to pick a side. Many of the people I looked up to said horrible things about him, but I feel lucky that I didn’t let their opinion influence me and I got to cheer and celebrate a once in a lifetime greatness unfold before my eyes.

    All that said, just enjoy it. This is the best part of the NBA season. Bask in its glory. If we somehow make it to the finals and get to play the Nuggets, you bet I’m all in for Embiid and the Sixers, but otherwise I’m just going to sit back and take in history as it unfolds before us.

    Of course he does the same rip through. You’d be stupid not to lol, it’s the most efficient thing to do. Just wish I could figure out what spell the NBA put on their fans to get everyone convinced this behavior is the players fault and not the leagues.

    Bruh who cares. That sub is just a bunch of neck beards who don’t know anything. Those who know, know that fouling is a skill these days. Remember, they don’t like us we don’t care.

  12. hightide1218

    it’s not just the skill. it’s the smarts, it’s the brain of Jokic…

    Jokic: Empowering

    Embiid: Put a shirt on

    In all seriousness though who cares, it’s just a classic hero/villain narrative that they all buy into. At the end of the day I love watching both of them.

    Drawing fouls is what good players do against poor defenses. Jokić does it because he’s a good player, Embiid does it because he’s a good player.

    A lot of those people are Eastern Europeans and idk if you know this but a lot of those countries are incredibly racist lol. It makes sense that a good portion of those fans would be too. Embiid is such a good down to earth guy off the court only immature morons actually hate him.

  16. jawntothefuture

    TBH I’ve got nothing but love for the Joker. He’s incredible. The haters who shit on Joel for no good reason are very foolish though. BTW I am riding with my boy Joel. I think he’s the most skilled player to ever play FR
