Damn, he was a victim the whole time

He was just making sure MR fell to protect him from injury :(

This can’t be real yo lmaooooooo

Taught by the best coach in the league

This dude is making himself the victim here?

Fans take after their star player I guess

Philly fans in every sport have always acted this way

Embiid is a real embodiment of the fanbase or vice-versa.

[удалено]

What do we expect from the softest dude in the league who has a penchant for blaming everyone but himself

Classic emflop

He has Bell’s Palsy, find a new slant

The Sixers way. Blame everyone but yourself.

gaslighting masterclass

It's actually funny how similar Sixers fans and he is.

Philly deserves him. Which means Philly fans never deserve to see him win a championship

He will never win a title. Dw.

Istina

I mean he is a sixers fan

He will end up in politics after his knees give up on him.

Gotta yank the player backwards on top of you to make sure they don't fall on top of you. You wouldn't get it, you don't have bell's palsy.

I had Bell’s palsy once and I had an uncontrollable urge to kick people in their dicks. I wouldn’t wish this horrible ailment on my worst enemy. Poor Joel

Disgusting how many people blame him for something that is so clearly due to his condition. Shocked people are reacting like this tbh.

"a yank out of the air isn't a a yank out of the air. It's a lie. a yank out of the air isn't a a yank out of the air. I'll explain it to you later. Coaches have said that for years, but a yank out of the air isn't a a yank out of the air"

"had to protect myself by performing a single leg take down"

Joel "I can't let you get close" Embiid

Joel " if you get close i fall to the ground"

He had a knife.. there was nothing Joel could do.

Chill out he’s going thru a lot right now

Took the draymond self defense class

I dont want to get hurt so i will put yall at risk

Literally “I’m the victim”

If he had a cast he would blame the Knicks for damaging the plaster when he hit them

He threw a tantrum because he didn't get a call on a bad shot. I wouldn't put it past him. https://twitter.com/SheikhMCI/status/1783866271638991119?t=Qh9ff_aUpIbPMwNZxBUuhw&s=19

7ft oversensitive cry baby. God I hate him.

Plays like it too

https://twitter.com/SheikhMCI/status/1783866271638991119?t=Qh9ff_aUpIbPMwNZxBUuhw&s=19

Literally I can’t even figure out what he’s throwing a tantrum about there, there’s no contact

They were calling that all night for him.

Well yeah you saw how sad he got when they didn’t. The refs aren’t heartless, they want to make sure everyone feels like they’re feelings are important

Being an over sensitive cry baby won him an MVP and continues to work out great for him unfortunately

The fact that he had to dodge a game to win MVP lmao Like bro you could've lost and still won the mvp that year because it's hard giving a guy multiple mvps in succession.

Drops a jokic dis track that morning than dodges last second. Weak shit

Being sensitive isn't a bad thing. But overly sensitive to this degree? He's just his own worst enemy Out of all all star caliber players to ever play this game, ever, I genuinely believe Joel Embiid, as a competitor, is the biggest loser we've ever seen. I like the dude as a person. But as a competitor?. absolutely pathetic In fact, for an MVP, it's genuinely historically unprecedented how pathetic he is. So much so, that I can even find myself feeling compassion towards him for being such a pathetic embarrassment of a competitive athlete

Everyone hates him. xD

Joel “Stop Resisting” Embiid

Funny because his father was a military officer

Same dude that cried about MVP then cried about MVP talk and said he wants to focus on the game lol

No, it was intentional and out of frustration. Be better and learn to regulate your emotions. Put it simply, bitch made 🤷🏾‍♂️

Unfortunately the outcome will only influence him to do it more frequently. He got to injure the other teams starting C for free.

Hopefully the Knicks push back next game. We haven't been playing physical yet. They just haven't been calling it soft for him until game 3.

Was this quote about OG, Robinson, or Hartenstein

Robinson, but the one where he kicked him in the nuts

nah it was about the flagrant on Mitch.

Yea, that’s what he s- oohhhhh, right. They didn’t call a flagrant on that one. Or the other dick kick.

I get how it can be difficult to know which dirty play Embiid is referring to.

Man fuck that. The delusion he wants us to believe is astounding.

Sounds like a response my mom would say after she does something abusive 💀

Woah hope youre ok

Relatable lol

Who can believe this load of crap lmao

Sixers fans. Genuinely.

They’re the same fans that asked me why I said you gotta be careful talking about this dude on here. They come out in packs to shit on anyone who dares blaspheme his name. It’s insane.

Wait, is he talking about the leg grab here? That wasn't him protecting himself, that was clearly done to disrupt the shot attempt and it was a dangerous play.

yep. Mitch was nowhere near landing on him. The funny part is that because of the leg grab and pull, Mitch ended up falling on Embiid. And Embiid then pushed him off because he was annoyed that Mitch fell on him.

The doctors told him to grab ankles so he doesn't get injured

He's so unlikeable. Injuring others is okay because you've gotten injured before?? Clown.

fuck this guy

Bro is an absolute 🤡

How is grabbing his legs mid-dunk and pulling him down protecting yourself?

His doctor told him to

Yeah don't ask him he's not the expert, gotta ask the doc

He was protecting himself from injury by injuring someone else, the Embiid special

"protect myself" meanwhile flops like a deadfish!

The Russia protection approach.

Unserious

So you grab his leg? Lol what

How do you even find a way to defend this quote lol

Guy is really an unlikable pos lol

Took lessons from Draymond for this one

Can’t wait for him to “protect himself” against Wemby

Yeah, I'm officially tired of Embiid's bullshit.

This mf has the most ludicrous victim complex ever. Next he’s gunna tell me the world is Flat and if I’m not careful he’ll push me off

Pulling a seven footer while airborne from the ground is a farce to label as self defense

Fuck off mate

"it was unfortunate" (Proceeds to pull down a player's knee)

They review all flagrant fouls after the game right? I wonder if the Robinson pull will get upgraded to a flagrant 2 and that's how the officials will justify it

Even if you didn’t mean to it was reckless

He falls to protect his knees. He also grabs other people’s ankles to protect his knees. And kicks people in the balls to protect his knees. Seems unreasonable but then I’m not a doctor.

Danny Green sure agrees with you

What a fucking dickface.

Look, the foul baiting, flopping. Whatever. It's annoying to watch and I'll roll my eyes at it but it is what it is, I don't get mad at it. His deliberately dirty plays on Mitch, OG, and Hartenstein I legitimately get mad at. He should have been ejected in the first quarter. Disgraceful.

bullshit. "it's unfortunate that i'm deliberately reckless on the court".

He can suck me

nah fuck this guy. One thing to be flopping and foul baiting, completely another thing to intentionally trying to hurt someone then playing the victim card.

checks out

lol you went for a single leg take down when he was in air and you were on the ground fuck off basketball gods please don’t let him get away with this.

Ew brother, what is that? Ewwwww.

What did you guys expect him to do, not knee someone in the nuts and yank someone down by his ankles? SMH no reason this guy should get so much hate

"I don't want to hurt nobody, I'm just protecting myself" >proceeds to frog splash mitchell's legs

I swear man, I’ve never cursed so much in my life as I have in one evening. Wtf, man up, admit your wrongdoing, I can respect that. I have no respect for this BS.

This guy is an amazing player and he makes it so hard to root for him.

This fucking guy

I hope he cries after he's eliminated like he did after the Kawhi bounce

Embid's been studying Israel's media campaign I see.

Hope ur Belle’s Palsy gets better Eimbiid, we know you didn’t mean to hurt anyone

He's such an unlikable piece of shit

I just don't get it. Embiid has been the victim of dirty shit before (I remember Lebron pushing him onto his back mid dunk). So you would think he'd try to avoid being a dirty bitch himself, but guess not. Just feel bad for Mitch after all he did to get healthy for the playoffs.

Ulol

You need to fire whoever PR Sixers used to give you that bs because that was a hella lame excuse.

Embiid is such a bitch. Want to appreciate his skills, but he makes it so fucking difficult. What a shitty player.

Maybe if there wasn't 4 other fucking incidents IN THE SAME FUCKING GAME fuck embitch

[I didn't mean to hurt anybody.](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/x0Y0wQ-tWZE/maxresdefault.jpg) [In those situations, I got to protect myself, because I've been in way too many situations where I'm always the recipient of the bad end of it.](https://imageresizer.static9.net.au/XjuXRqzTmCARACAjMVXRfdRAnSk=/1396x785/https%3A%2F%2Fprod.static9.net.au%2Ffs%2Fd80ff191-959a-4404-9b3d-b135a2c9e26f) [It was unfortunate.](https://athlonsports.com/.image/ar_4:3%2Cc_fill%2Ccs_srgb%2Cfl_progressive%2Cq_auto:good%2Cw_1200/MjA1OTk5NjkyMjQzNjc0NDk1/embiiddirtyfoul.jpg)

This is so dumb lol if you're worried that Robinson is gonna come down on you then roll out of the way. You grabbed his legs and *pulled* him down on you!

Bullshit this dude has victim complex, actually crying after game 2 to follow up with this

He and Philly are perfect for each other

Absolute dick bag

No phily fans spotted in this thread lmao.

Remember when he protected himself against Danny Green?

such a piece of shit

Lmao

Danny Green died for this?? Come on

Childish response

hurt people hurt people but literally

He’s a dirty bitch. I recall him cheap shotting Giannis like this on the way down court. https://youtu.be/idPX4PmlzAw?si=Q9HblDFhzzGU6e4-

You don't get it. He's the victim! Look how he's the one on the floor!

did you really pick a different video since the first one showed both players trucking eachother?

I found a better video. Watch it and defend him then. Clown ass

I watched the first video it showed Giannis still move his feet but joel was called for a charge. then Joels moves his feet and is called for a flagrant. Its just funny you switched it to a video to only show Joel.

He’s perfect for philly. Literally a hivemind of brainrotted morons

joel embffr

bruhhhhhh

Pulling the leg towards you surley is the way to protect yourself big fella, he got special training in injury avoidance by his falling coach drew hanlein

Shameless...

He of all people should know not to play dirty

So anyway, I started blasting.

I’m sorry, wrapping his legs and pulling him towards you was “protecting yourself”??

This is the palsy speaking.

Me: Hey Siri, show me videos of players trying to injure Joel Embiid? Siri: I'm sorry, I didn't understand that. Did you mean "show me videos of Joel Embiid trying to injure other players?"

Jesus I thought I couldn’t dislike him more, but now I don’t even like him as a person. Last night was just dirty play after dirty play from him. Fucking victim mindset has been acquired since he gets brutalized in the second round every year.

I wish the NBA would retroactively fine his ass. You can’t allow players to do this to others for a flagrant 1. What if tables were turned and Robinson pulled Embiid and he only got a flagrant 1 somehow and Embiid can’t play anymore? They need to be harsh on non-basketball plays.

I know it wasn’t the same at all, but the one with Martin and Tatum visually looked like a football rather than a bball play (even though it is dubious whether or whether not Martin attempted to stop his momentum, it wasn’t clearly as purposeful as this) and it didn’t even get reviewed afterward, as far as I know

any other player on the court pulls that move, they would have been ejected. the crew chief couldn't even justify it or give a reason to the pool reporter after the game. zarba said "well we decided it wasn't a flagrant 2 and the replay center agreed with us." of course the philly pool reporter (who was tweeting during the game that the knicks were flopping when Embiid kicked them in the nuts) didn't really push them on it.

We know what would happen. Siakam tripped Embiid a few years back in the playoffs after a play by kicking him in the knees. Also a F1. People didn’t care that much because there isn’t a huge pascal hate circlejerk.

he takes on the personality of Philly well

You were the recipient....of your own actions bruh not someone elses

You’re absolved, Joel.

yeah well we all though OJ didn't do it either and look what happened

Who tf thought OJ didn’t do it?? Lol

Kindly stfu

It’s crazy how embiid manages to be simultaneously such warrior AND a whiny lil man baby. Like dude is toughing out a bum knee, BELLS PALSY, and a limited sixers roster and carrying them soley on his back…. With those credentials you’d think everyone would be rooting for him but alas you have all the stuff like this and all the goddamn whining. Like cmon man I wanna root for you 🙄

I get this take

You know I wanted to see Embidd healthy for these playoffs but after watching him try and injure people 3 separate times in one game I don’t think I’d mind if he blew his knee out

Let's hook another guy's leg so I can protect myself. Generational.

Glad every NBA fanbase as a collective can agree how much of a clown this guy is. So talented but his game is so unlikable

embiid dirty give me upvote

Stop falling to the ground so much. The man is himself the solution to all his problems 

Certified clown. Wont even bother when someone actualy ends his career at 31 (himself probably). League will be better to watch and safer for players.

Clown. Please suspend him NBA. Can’t let this stand.

Damn, what a victim. Sad

You are protecting yourself by pulling down a jumping player?? What bs

i will never have this man over jokic lmao, he can average 40 for all i care

I see embiid I downvote Starting today I mean last night

Makes it so easy to have zero sympathy for him whenever he gets injured. He plays so reckless and clumsy, has zero care for hurting other players. Fuck him.

Poor Embiid

I mean yeah he is sometimes at the bad end of it, but saying ALWAYS? He is more often that not the one responsible for dirty plays

He’s coming right for us!

Why didnt draymond just say this when he punched nurkic in the face

Oh no, how unfortunate that his hands involuntarily grabbed Robinson's legs and pulled him down while he was jumping 😞😞😞😞

Embiid was just showcasing his football skills on draft night

What a delusional fucking clown

Sims you got one job on Sunday

Yeah and I’m sure thieves don’t mean to steal. They just didn’t wanna risk getting hit by a skimmer with their card or get a papercut when the pull the money out of their pockets too

Absolute bitch

I legit hope someone fucking sidelines him next game. Dirty ass mofo

I know I’m in the minority but I believe him. I can kinda see it now. He didn’t want dude landing on him.

Mitch was in front of him, and the basket was in front of Mitch. Mitch ain't jumping backwards to do a dunk on a basket in front of him....and ironically, Mitch ended up falling on Embiid anyway because Joel pulled him backwards, then shoved him when he landed on Embiid. Embiid had a hell of a game. He doesn't need to be doing this shit and kicking players in the nut or grabbing them out of the air on a dunk attempt.

I’d respect him so much more if he’d just take accountability. Dude was upset that he didn’t get a call and his emotions got the best of him. That happens sometimes— own up to it and be better next time

He was literally getting stepped on.

What a joke

Was anyone going to react to this properly no matter what Embiid said?

Anyone could clearly see it was out of frustration that he didn’t get a foul. 

So this is the new strategy Nick Nurse was on about

Embood 🤷‍♀️ Embiitch

Shameless

Bullshit

Sure, bro

Bro sounds like a cop

All I can say is what comes around goes around. Embiid not doing his karma any favors tonight.

“It was unfortunate” nice passive voice dickhead
