Bizzaro Bill shouting out the Bucks
Celtics similar to the Nuggets the year prior, and Embiid is similar to Jamal Murray…. Wants more money and out of shape, and selflessness eclipsed by ego and money…
Embiid make me want cookie when me hear him speak and me see him…. "Me love cookie-
NUM-NUM-NUM-NUM——NUM!"
It's never his fault that Embiid fails. 🙄
You need to talk more about the impending anti-hero turn of Stone Cold Jaylen Brown. He’s taking all this resentment and will stun his own teammates and enemies alike, highest paid player and a total renegade
I'd take AD over Embiid any day of the week if my goal is to win.
New Title: Six Major ways I can involve the Celtics into Team USA
"Most talented offensive center we’ve had since Kareem"
Playmaking is an offensive talent, which basically makes Jokic hands down the better offensive center since Kareem, and possibly of all time. You could have said "scoring" and probably be right. Offense is so much more.
Jalen's prob sick of hearing all the bs- 'tatum is the best on the Cs'…Jalen is a great robin' & all that stuff – and he's right
bill comparing 18 year old Joel Embiid's body to older Embiid is too funny
So the question was "would you be in goat conversation without injuries?". And yet bill defaults to looking at Embiids answer through the lens of being injury prone… Got it. I get hes a Boston guy but he can at least pretend to be impartial lmao. Like if you ACTUALLY watch Embiid play on the sixers and see just how utterly dominant he is…. I don't think his answer is ridiculous tbh. I'm not saying he would be "THE GOAT" but without injury problems he certainly would be in the conversation.
Maybe Embiid wouldn't get injured all the time if he weren't falling down all the time and straining his body with a bunch of bullshit. You can talk about bad luck only to a certain extent; if a person has a dozen out for season/playoffs injuries over the course of his career, you have to wonder if his style of play and approach to the game are at fault.
I’ll never understand. Joel tells the truth and y’all hate him for it. The guy just can’t win. All these top players yall compare him to all had way more help than he’s ever had and he’s literally had freak injuries every time. Being in better condition isn’t gunna stop his face from breaking. How is being in better shape gunna stop Jonathan kuminga from falling on his knee?
If LeBron wins a third bronze medal can we all agree to start calling him LeBronze?
The best in the game. That'd be You Mr Simmons 💯
Brown for Leonard who says no
Bucks are definitely the biggest threat to Boston if healthy
biden and harris suck
😊😊,
Embiid is a Fu¢kin 🤡. He's not a winning player and I wouldn't be surprised if he never wins anything in his career
His reasoning for picking the bucks over Knicks are “the Knicks are a Brunson injury away” when dame is more injury prone lol
"[Embiid is] the most talented offensive center since Kareem." I would love to hear a deep dive on how Jokic is worse, Bill, but it seemed like you were just gassing Embiid up for the purpose of making your argument about how he's falling short. Timestamp 13:00
Of course Bill is hating on Jaylen
