Career stats are often misleading. Comparing stats between eras is also misleading. Let’s compare FTA/36 for Giannis and Embiid for the last 5 seasons (not including the current one because it is not finished).
Over the last 5 seasons, Embiid and Giannis have at almost exactly the same FTA/36 (Giannis slight lead)
They are really miserable over there about Embiid and it is disheartening even though we really shouldn’t care. He’s not supposed to be liked by opposing fans. I just wish that they’d respect the quality of player he is.

The haters will never see the light. Don’t go over there looking for fair discourse unless it’s literally after a Sixers win. Every other time it’s just hate.

They’d even more mad this year because he’s playing even better and they’ve been praying on his downfall
ranchsauce13
lol I knew it wouldn’t take long after that Nuggets game for the hate to come back, it’s actually pretty funny to see. Just let them jerk each other off, r/nba will never change

I was a happier person when I used to be banned from that sub. It’s fucking trash.

Yeah but Giannis eats oreos, makes him too wholesome to include in foul merchant allegations
justwantkickz
When he doesn’t go to the foul line as much during a game he scores 30+ points. When he does he scores 30+ points. 🤷♂️

Who cares. Hopefully he makes them cry and seethe come playoff time. It’s legit embarrasing how embiid questionable whistle highlights get more traction on that subreddit as much if not more than actual highlights. Like someone should tell those nerds they’re supposed to enjoy basketball.

They’re only mad that he makes them. If he got the whistle and sucked from the line, it wouldn’t matter/fall into Ben Simmons/Markelle adults territory.

If someone or some group enjoys the downfall of someone (or something) more than the success of someone (or something), ignore them. Haters will bring you down to their level, there’s no winning with them.

Imagine how sad and pathetic your life has to be to spend your Saturday morning doing research for the sole purpose of hating on Embiid and posting it to reddit for updoots

I think everyone gives embiid a hard time about his free throws because he makes them so consistently
pickledelbow
It’s ok. Embiid feeds off the hate, he’s cool being the villain. He’s breaking the game like harden did 5 or so years ago

Why the fuck should we care. That sub has always been a joke.

I have a guilty pleasure in poking the nba sub bear.

I’m fairly certain there are a ton of bots commenting on every anti-Embiid post. It’s the same misinformation trying to create a false narrative – throws teammates under the bus, chooses to sit against good teams, flops and flails his way to 35 ppg, not enjoyable to watch, cried and whined for his MVP, etc. These are all categorically false but non-Sixers fans who don’t watch the games start believing and repeating because that’s the narrative now.

Let them hate. I love the salt.

Cool we got a player teams need to foul 16% more often than Shaq

The most insane thing about stuff like this is that people what us to disavow Joel. Like say what you want about aesthetics or how fun it is to watch but he’s the best player on our team. Are we supposed to pray on his downfall because we don’t like having to sit through free throws? I wish 2013 LeBron James played for us because that’s the peak of aesthetically pleasing ball to me. But we have Joel so I’m going to root for Joel.
