The NBA is copyright-striking and removing compilation videos of Embiid’s dirty plays in Game 3 of the Knicks-Sixers series.



Compilation videos of Embiid’s dirty plays in Game 3 vs the Knicks are being removed and ‘disabled in response by the copyright owner’ on Twitter/X.

[Removed Video 1](https://x.com/iqfor3/status/1783690088876060980?s=46&t=hc5NrTRIWu5hhJBvuuWS9g)

This video had over 1 million views before it was taken down by the NBA.

This video had over 50k views before being taken down by the NBA.

As everyone who uses Twitter/X knows, NBA videos are **never** taken down on the platform, so this is unprecedented and just makes them look worse.

These are also 4 different video sources which means they are actively seeking these videos out to take them down.

  1. They know that the only reason he was still in the game was for ratings

  2. Reddit mods deleted the last post addressing this. So I don’t expect this thread to last long.

    David Stern would NEVER (totally would)

    Hmmmm

    I heard if you say, “Embiid fouls every time” three times in the mirror, the Refs in Black review your life for flagrants and the ghost of LeBron’s defense banishes you to a realm with no WiFI.

    oh no, we cant let anybody know that our precious mvp is a dirty boy!

  8. lambopanda

    Maybe change video title to Mitchell Robinson injury?

  9. IdRatherBeShilling

    Why the hell is the NBA coddling Embiid so much, on and off the court? He’s a star but he’s like mid-tier in terms of popularity. I don’t get it.

    Gimmick Sliver has been a joke of a commissioner since the bubble icl

  11. HitboxOfASnail

    Twitter is crazy because it’s people saying the same dumb shit they say here except with their real name

  12. TheTwilightZone34

    There are no dirty Embiid plays in Ba Sing Se

  13. JrBaconators

    Gotta coddle the man for another early round exit. Infinitely less ECF appearances than Trae fucking Young, but you’ll see this sub say he’s a top 3 player still

  14. Equivalent_Way_5026

    The play was broadcast on national TV and replayed on every single sports show in America a thousand times. Why would they single out 10k follower Knicks fan accounts to try to “hide the evidence”?

    edit: Actually looking at it, all of these posts are sharing the exact same video from the same account. This is 1 video that got removed, not some grand conspiracy.

  15. Good luck getting that shit offline, half of sport insta is just that

  16. MostlyMellow123

    Silver got ready to learn Chinese buddy

  17. Silvers a fan of the Philadelphia cream cheese perhaps…. We should look deeper into it

  18. OnlyMamaKnows

    Of course the NBA would rather have vids of their MVP scoring 50 instead of flailing around injuring guys.

  19. Accomplished_Power_3

    lol what a joke . This alone should shut up Philly fans defending all this crap

  20. frinstle

    Quick no one’s looking post your real opinions

    Fuck the refs and fuck Embiid!

  21. Fluffy-Angle4818

    Barbara Streisand effect…keep posting it

  22. CarPlaneBoatRocket

    This should only help Embiid’s image. Whether he wins a championship or not, he’ll be one of the most hated players of his era. Draymond, Embiid, Harden.

  23. igotinfirstlol

    This is giving me nick nurse post game vibes 🤣

  24. HipnotiK1

    i mean it makes sense. they don’t want it promoted that a guy is playing dirty especially the narrative that they should have ejected him and didn’t.

  25. Dat_Boi_John

    I was here before the great Embiid purge!

    It’s more likely some Sixers fan claiming copyright on behalf of the nba. Copyright claiming/blocking stuff is possible to manipulate on basically any platform
