At some point the injury excuse for you Embiid fans is going to do you more harm than good..
That’s the excuse every year but yet you get your panties in a bunch when someone says hes not the guy that’s going to lead you to a ring..
Yall look at his stat line and ignore his 4th qtr shooting percentage
Ignore his turnovers
Another early exit have fun with that for the next 5 years lmao 😂
SAS IS NOT THE FACE OF ESPN!!
Don't forget Jeremy Lin
Not a good conment
Jermey Lin top 5 knicks of all time
No don’t do this now, this was yall mvp last year
The only reason the Knicks won was because of Jalen Brunson. He took over the 4th period whereas the 76ers don't have a guy like that on the roster. Besides signing Oubre and Batum, the 76ers need a floor general that runs an offense properly. They are one guy away from being a contender and without Harris, with someone who's not a spectator, they need a 3rd guy still. Again.
Steven you talk big trash talking about he is not the face of the franchise when we’re the face of any franchise
Giving Brunson the credit for the Mavs getting to the WCF
Embiid deserves to lose after declining to play for his home country
Stephen a is only saying that because Embiid is African
The sixers have always sucked. The only reason they’ve been good the past few years is Embiid. All the years they tanked and Embiid was the only one who ended up a star. He dropped 39 and lost cause their team sucks. 2 players is not a good team
How can he determine who the face of a franchise is? Doesn’t the franchise do that? This dude weird, always attacking embid
Nah new York knicks just like cowboys fans what can go wrong will go wrong 🤣 😂 💀 😭
If you 76er fans are still waiting on "The Process " to develop… I got a tropical island in Arizona to sell you.
Philly was never great at roster construction, it was always an odd assemblage of talent. Hinkie missed on so many draft picks, I mean historically awful percentage, and the players they tried to make up for those misses with almost always were bad fits. Jimmy Butler was too good for the organization and the town. Now Joel is closer to the end of his prime than the beginning and it's 41 years and counting without a title.
embiid in the playoffs 25/11/3 on 45.9FG% 28.9 3Pt% 82.8% 3.8turnovers….. embiid is the worst playoff performer and the worst MvP alltime the only MvP to never get past the second round and if he does it next season which i highly doubt he will have done it at age 31 plus most likely tyrese carried him there……. yall cant expect him to be one of the goats like jokic lower your expectation and be happy with a second round exit cause as long as hes the nr 1 thats where phillys journey ends lmfao
So Stephen says at the Sixers shouldn’t get rid of Joel Embiid but yet he says that the box should get rid of giannis😒
This comparison has flaws ..because u re taking nba finals statistics and comparing those with the first round of the playoffs …are u serious ESPN ?
If you think about, all sports discourse is based one common theme: hate
Embiid was +44 for the series and played well. The rest of the twam outside of maxey was booty cheeks. The sixers front office wasted 5 years of embiid with a max contract tobi. He was non existent this series and litterally put up 0 points in 29 mins in a win or go home game. Straight SCRUBB
How is it your leader gives up every post season and the excuses is always he’s hurt! Im from Philadelphia and I use to stick up for the guy every year but I’m done! He plays for himself. His goal was to win mvp. He’s so good when no one is playing defense against him. They need to keep him but build around maxey! Maxey has that dog in him
Fire the coach in trade the trash players on the sixers sucks every year in the playoffs
Dumb take
I picked the Knicks to win in 6 games. Embiid choking in the playoffs happened again!!! Pacers vs Knicks is going to be good series I think the Pacers win in 7 games it could go either way
I am sick of EMBIID being hurt and not healthy he was the worse draft pick in 2014. That is why the 76ers can’t win a title with him Joel will be 30 next season…..he is not getting any younger. EMBIID SUCKS…..that is all I have to say….he is the next Allen IVERSON not winning a title. I am tired of this team losing in the postseason every year. They are never gonna win a title period. Trade EMBIID and get someone who is willing to win here in Philly but Joel is ‘not the answer’ point blank.
Some of these comments is crazy! I like Stephen A’s take. Yes build around Maxey. That way if we are without Embiid for any time Maxey and supporting cast can still get the job done. We definitely need a few real big men!
How do you do something everyday for decades & still suck at it?😂😂😂StephenA is terrible😩
Remember when Stephen A was complaining about Dolan and how the knicks weren't enough to make any noise… y'all should mute his mic fr.
Better than Luka, don't @ me.
The sixers problem is that they don’t have that 3rd guy
He is tho and knicks Brunson got traded young calls and beat us with Sixers Embiid with one leg and everything ….you shouldn’t feel proud
Buddy hill should of played tobis Harris minutes
Sad how u robbed nikola the mvp last year and this year when embid ezxitsdd the race u guys switched to vote for someone else hahah
Cmon stephan A. You know knicks fans dont see you as a knick fan 😂
Y’all are disrespecting Latrell Sprewell by not having him in that post 73 all-time Knick conversation. Spree was the best player on the last New York Knicks team to get to the finals in lockout 99 and was the best player on the Knicks team that got to the ECF a year later, losing to the Pacers in 6. You could honestly make the case that he had a greater Knick tenure than Melo.
EMBIID DOESNT DESERVED AN MVP!!!!! NO FORMER MVP's HAS BEEN SWEPT OFF THE FIRST ROUND!!!! ONLY EMBIID,,, MEANS HE SUCKS
Embiid CANNOT be the FACE OF THE FRANCHISE – Stephen A. says 76ers should prioritize Maxey
Can't believe that I agree with him on this.
my god if jay will n s.a.s arent the corniest mfs on the face of the earth idk who is
Bruhh the man has bell palsey if you don’t have that don’t judge and automatically think he’s a bust
6:35 is what you came for
