Elie is right bigger issue is your star player being late when the team is so down
The fact embiid is showing up late gives me joy as a bucks fan. Giannis would never. He is the one calling out others for being lazy. Thank you joel
I'm sorry but, aren't they all assigning virtue to the leaker? "The only reason you'd do this is to expose Joel and denigrate his image". Or, maybe hear me out, isn't another possible virtue that this is just one teammates solution to light a fire under Joel? Also,Elle cooked.
"in all my years the athletes that come to me have been upfront when the expose" okay SAS, were any of those players complaining about a superstar like Embiid? Someone with a large amount of influence within their organization? Someone who is already incredibly defensive about their gameplay? Bro, you can be a gardner snake in the grass, when you're dealing with a feral mongoose. This "Embiid is the victim" here narrative needs to STOP.
Cam giving these players excuses
Making every excuse they can for Joel mf is the least passionate big man to ever win a MVP thats never even won a conference championship…. He aint good enough to be late and no he hasn’t earned any special treatment. Black people gotta stop this bs with excuses for Joel👏🏼. Jokic > Embiid
Stephanie a smith lying he cinstantly betray ppl trust
Bro. Embiid ain’t no rookie. And he is a multi millionaire because of basketball. You can’t hire a chef to cook for you good tasting healthy food so you come in at a good weight and in shape?? Lazy and content.
I love to see joel embid just walk up on set outta nowhere whole energy gone change 😂
Of course Molly n Elle don’t see the issue. Joel Embiid prolly should do better but to leak info about a players only meeting is crazy. That’s a rat n my man lil Wayne told me “all rats gotta die even master splinter”🤷🏾♂️
Covering for 30 year's…how many times we gona hear that same line
How is never making it past round 2 of the playoffs earn a player the right to be lazy?
cam the worst dressinh millionaire ever
It was KJ Martin who told his dad Kenyon (major idiot from his time in the NBA and has no brain nor respect for the game as we saw in Denver) and Kenyon Martin Leaked it for a price (dude's desperate for money)
Cam, that's why you don't play in th NFL anymore 🤡
Reaffirm my portion ai is much better than Joe in terms of legacy as 76ers
I just like seeing cam on the board 😂 he don’t even gotta say nothing
why are these reporters covering for Embiid instead of holding responsible for not being a leader… sigh
They have injury-prone bench riders as superstars. PG keeps hopping around the league teaming up with other injury-prone stars, while being injury-prone himself. If they're just gonna sit out 80% of the season they're not gonna win anything.
I feel bad for George. He went from teammate with Kawhi to Embiid who are both plagued by injuries. He is still Pandemic P tho
Shout out Elle…. She's the only one who got it right
"Embiid earned the right" dude's talking like Embiid is a champion. Embiid hasn't even made the eastern conf finals. He hasn't earned anything.
She spoke the most sense out of all 3 of them
How has Joel earned the right to be late? By doing what? Underachieving in the playoffs every year. No sorry. Guys like Lebron James & Steph Curry have "earned the right to be late" an they show up an lead by example after all these years & multiple championships!
No players have the right to show up late, thats terrible leadership
I think the leak is Caleb Martin. He's new, coming from Miami AND he took less money to come here.
The thing is Embiid won't change unless his dirty linen is out there
Why is the issue leaked information and not Joel embiid being childish and unprofessional??
Cam sounded as stupid as he looked
SAS I wouldn't do my co workers like that…..this the same man that got maxx fired
How do we know Ty & his teammates didn't speak to him already behind close doors
RC is a certified 🤡🤡🤡 this is why I don't watch his podcast
Im done with this show forever I will only tune in to lol at the cowgirls did they really just 💩 maxxy for telling the truth
LMAO nick nurse is the one who was late to the press conference and stated they had a meeting
Stephen "I've been covering the NBA League for X amount of years" A. Smith
Embiid definitely hasn't earned the right to be late. 1st participation mvp in history.
The player wanted First Take to tell Embid to be a better leader instead of a coach or team meeting? 76ers overpay player, i.e. Simmons, mow PG. 76ers should've called Jimmy Butler. Aedin
Honestly all these people besides the woman on this topic are complete idiots..
😂
Good on whoever leaked it. 90% of these NBA players are clowns and it’s no wonder their ratings keep going down. Soft, coddled clowns.
Embiid ain’t deserve nothing. He win a chip?
So everyone with the exception of Elle is making excuses for Joel Embiid.
Keep the woman off these topics please! They’re females so they love drama and mess, it’s what they do on a day to day!!🤡😂😂
I agree and don’t agree at the same time. Now the public knows why the best efforts towards winning isn’t put forth. Joel is slacking as a leader…
Stephen A said they was better than knicks before season started 😂
Cam said facts
I think the leagues got a "recording devices planted in locker rooms" problem!!!
