r/NBA’s 9/11
he’s a runner he’s a track star
So then why the fuck did he play vs Phoenix.
Giannis played in the b2b vs Jokic that’s why he’s my MVP
Damn Embiid really put out all those quotes flaming Jokic only to duck him lmao
Sorry Embiid MVP’s don’t miss this game.
So Jokic got the award then
Lmao of course he misses the denver home game
Embiid hasn’t played in Denver since before the very first cases of COVID-19 were described in China. The man is terrified of mountains.
Joel Embiid hasn’t played in Denver since 2019 btw
Embiid saw what Joker was doing to Brook?
Pretty sure he hasn’t played in Denver since Joker hit a game-winning fadeaway on him (three years ago?).
He said all of that just to sit out?
Giannis would never
well that is disappointing
well that’s a wrap folks
So he plays at home in Philly for home court advantage but says no thanks to play in Denver in Jokic’s house. Hmmm
This is after all that talk he put out as well? Lmao
Bro talks all that shit today and then just says “I’m not playing though”. What a joke.
mf said the lights are too bright
This is downright hilarious after he talked all this shit about Jokic and played the victim card.
He talked all that shit just to duck him
Even for a 100% legit injury concern, the optics of this after Embiid talked all that just to miss this game…
lmao poor 76ers fans trying to defend this man. Soft ass ducking.
This is weak and embarrassing tbh
Actually pathetic. Couldve just sat against the suns and played this game.
Stop hating on embiid, he had back-to-back games which he both lost and then he had to run around the media to talk about how much he doesnt care about MVP which aggravated his injury.
Embiid called in a tactical DNP
Giannis at least had the pride to play on a back to back and still put up terrific numbers. This is sad
Weak shit man
Lol. Embiid ducks Jokic in Denver again
An MVP doesn’t do that.
Although I wonder is embiid better at ducking or flopping?
Just so everyone remembers what Embiid said yesterday –
> “The criteria does change. If we want to talk about the last three years since I’ve been in the running for it, the first year it was that I didn’t play enough games. Last year, I came back, I played enough games, I led the league in scoring, and obviously, Nikola deserved it and he won it. But then again, he won as a sixth seed in the West. And then this year, I’m leading the league in scoring, I’m doing all of these things defensively … I should be making an All-Defensive team too. I don’t care, but every year it’s something. And when you add analytics into it, which don’t make sense.”
As a fan I feel so disappointed. Whole month I was waiting for Giannis vs Jokic vs Embiid vs Giannis showdown in March only for Embiid to ruin it. I seriously hope NBA awards get tied to minimum amount of games played.
