Joel Embiid Called Out By Kendrick Perkins & Nuggets Fans for Ducking Jokic Matchup in Denver
Welcome back to NBA Cinema so today we got to talk about Joel embiid and what’s going on with him not playing in Denver since 2018 2019 and it’s always the same excuse nordness but he can magically play in Philly you know in his home gym and really performs well against nicolea yic
But won’t come on his Turf and play and it’s becoming problematic at this point you’re not magically hurt the Denver game every year and the one match up that everybody wants to see um so I’m not a fan of this but more importantly you have to look at it right the NBA has
The new rule where you have to play 65 games to win MVP or to be eligible to win MVP well embiid has played 33 games I want to say this is the 44th game right now that like it’s currently on TV right now Philly versus Denver of the
Season so honestly um he’s only going to be what seven games away from being disqualified from winning an MVP despite having it that historic night on wmy and all that and if he’s missed 10 games before Allstar break do we believe Jolan beid is only going to miss seven games
For the rest of the season you know I don’t see it like that but um the Denver Nuggets fans they not feeling this because they feel like they’re robbed they’ve paid money to see this match up year in and year out and he’s never there so we’re going to take a listen to
What they said and we going to take a listen to what perk said just a few days ago about embiid ducking the smoke let’s peep [Applause] it [Applause] all right the next game on our packed ABC Saturday slate it’s a rematch of the past two MVPs we have embiid in the
Sixers versus joic in Denver so for more on that Big Man match up our resident big man Kendrick Perkins he’s over here and big perk I hear you having a little pep talk take it away hell yeah I do and look this is going to Joel MB look we
See this big sign is big size Center most Skill Center ever this man right here he shows up when he’s not in Denver he goes to Philly and match up with Joel and B Joel and B my brother business been standing on you lately for the last
What four or five years you haven’t played in Denver since 2019 you have to show up and give that man his lick back your big ass better suit up tomorrow you better suit up and you better stand on business and give yic his Le back damn it long so when I
Say this I will never ever question a player’s injury but you have to start to notice a pattern of behavior here this is a shame man because I’ve been a fan of the way jool embid has played the game this year man he’s been absolutely phenomenal one matchup you absolutely
Can’t miss right now is the yic matchup we would have much rather you sat that wimy game out that you went for 70 to dominate a young skinny wimy to show up for this yic matchup that’s the one you can’t miss and honestly he’s a level above you right now you’re better
Defender you dominant you’ve been very dominant on the interior all season long in the best shape of your career but joic has delivered his court Vision his extremely high field goal percentage that he’s had um it it’s almost like you look at the Nuggets you know they
Missing some pieces like Bruce Brown and those guys but they just ready for the playoffs because when you win a title is really hard for that Core Group to come back in the regular season and get excited for anything regular season but looking at joic out here running up and down with his
Guys um you know it tells me something he came ready to play you in Philly okay you got the better of him last couple years in Philly y’all played but you never play in Denver I I just have a problem with that I know some people gonna say I’m overreacting
To this and all that but that matchup should be one as a competitor that he absolutely if he can go he’s going to play he he he’s going to play cuz you look very fine against Wy the other night a rookie that doesn’t have the
Body to guard you um now you youve been dominating everybody that you play you gave it to joic you know a few weeks ago that’s why we want to see you on the court but I find it funny unless jool and B has like Sickle Cell Sickle Cell
Trade or something that I don’t know about which would be a reason not to play in Denver you go look at people like Ryan Clark and the NFL all that they didn’t play the Denver Broncos cuz that sicker cell you know you go the high elevation I have it myself so I
Know like yeah you go up higher elevation over exertion that will cause you you know to go into a crisis so unless Joel and be has something like that that I don’t know about that would be a reason not to play but other than that if it’s just like a little sorness
Or something like that you need to get out there on the court and play man let me know what you think about this in the comment section though guys don’t forget to like share and subscribe till next time peace

Embiid thought "no Maxey, no Harris – we will lose. So I can't be bothered." So people wonder why he underperforms in the playoffs – this avoidance tells you why.
๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ฆ
They will not vote Joel MVP THIS YEAR? BET?$$$$$$๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ
He will give the new rookie the business but scared of the joker
He can also dunk jokic rings too. ๐๐คฃ
It doesnโt matter that Embiid ducked him again. Embiid is on a tier below Jokic, regular season games canโt and wonโt change that.
On the road embiid has only played 4 teams over .500 this season. They saying embiid has changed his mentality.. He sure isn't proving it
Why is that problematic? A win is a win. Jokic had half night off.
Embid tapout as usual
This is pathetic, Iโm ashamed of Embid..๐คฆ๐พโโ๏ธ
The NBA should fine the 76ers and Embiid for not playing tonight and Embiid should be ejected for two games for not playing
He not ducking. K p is trash who cares the games rigged anyway. F the fans
We know who the affirmative action "MVP" is and who the real MVP is.
Wake up, you fools. He's trolling us all.
Embiid is the mvp from a dollar store๐
Embiid is a pussy. Gifting him the MVP is an embarrassment.
Take Perkinsโ brain out and chuck it in a birdโฆโฆ ๐ shut up KP
๐งข
Im a Nuggets fan, but I don't understand this take. Embid already dropped +40 on Nuggets at home couple weeks ago. They weren't matched up with each other, but neither can contain the other 'cause of different playstyle. So how is Embid ducking Nuggets? Yea would like Embid to show up in Denver, but I doubt he's afraid to play in Denver.
I was waiting for this game all week. I was looking forward to the two going back and forth and the competition. It isn't Magic and Bird, but is there another player rivalry as good as these two? This just sucks.
Haha you arenโt an NBA MVP when you do stuff like this.
Hahahahah HoeLLLLLLLL
๐ฆ
I can't stop laughing at this ๐คก๐คก๐คก๐คก HooooeeeeLLLLLL EMBIID ๐๐๐๐
Weak ass player
Hahahahaha ๐๐๐๐๐๐
More important to protect the stats and image… got a good thing going right now. Winning games isn't important. Right out of the Lebron playbook. Cowards
Embiid using PTO to protect his record.
11th missed game this season.
LoL, Embiid ain't playing in that altitude. He's already 7 feet tall. I'm a die hard Sixers fan and I'm sure this is a duck. Teams don't shut down Superstars.
Bish made ahhh
Joel Embiid has played in 3 road games against .500 or better teams this season. He's the most shameless stat padder in the NBA
I get that Embiid hasnt played in Denver since 2019 but some of these Nuggets fans act like Jokic somehow gets a pass for losing to Embiid in Phlly lol theyre both great players but come on how do you duck a guy that Embiid plays well against if not better ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐๐๐
9 of 11 games Embiid has missed were tough road games including against top-tier teams in Nuggets, Celtics, Heat, Timberwolves, Rockets, Pelicans. Now who is stat padding?
