PG the Overrated
Embid talks too much
Jesus wants a personal relationship with you. If you don't know him develop a personal relationship with him through prayer 🙏
Paul George and Embiid both fit amazing for the Knee surgery operation
Nah Silver better look at when Joel was winking at PG during they finals broadcast & call Tampering 😂😉
Embiid, USA's new French center? LOL
Pg and Embiid fit AMAZINGLY well……in STREET CLOTHES!!!!
lol
The 76ers are NOW the top TEAM in the EAST. They also made great moves in the DRAFT. Far better DRAFT then Boston. They also just picked up Caleb Martin who apparently plays some of his best GAMES against Boston. He also took FAR LESS to play with Philly. It's now time for the Sixers to Shine.
GREAT fit, Really hope this isn't another AL Hortford type of move, I mean he is 34 with a lengthy injury history
Second round exit 😂😂😂😂😂
What is he gonna say bruh lol
If both healthy, they winning the east
Perfect fit on the bench together. Just make sure they sit next to each other to get that misery shot when Philly is eliminated in the playoffs.
He's just a step above Tobias Harris, but not by much
Playoff P turned into Podcast P 😂
They're dancing in the streets of Philadelphia 😂
I’m aVailable as well. Congrats bro
Paul will fit in amazing but they still NOT WINNING A RING‼️🏆
Didn't he say the same thing when Harden came went there?
Lies
He fits till they get eliminated from the playoffs then embiid will throw him under the bus
please explain how pg is a major upgrade over harden
Embiid, you had Jimmy Butler, & Fd that up. So?
Team Injury
That was the Clippers believed and it didn't turn out so marvelous.
Joel! 🥹
The 76ers gonna be good because Tobias Harris was holding them back from progressing
Go Sixers!!!
The injuries will fit great too😂
