BIGGEST TAKEAWAY from the Joel Embiid article π
piece of the story about his relationship and the work he did with Kim who was a a trainer physical therapist that was in the locker room constantly and the story goes into some detail about just how much she’s working with him gives an estimate of and I don’t know if this is actually true but of 355 out of 365 days I would say that’s probably an overestimate right I would assume that there are periods especially in the offse they’re not together, right? But this is someone who works with Joelle for 9 years. There’s an anecdote in there about at 2:30 in the morning, the night before a playoff game, he’s like, I don’t know how I’m going to be able to do this. And she’s essentially giving him a space to be like, Joel, you can say you can’t do this, right? Is giving him permission in so many ways to say, you don’t have to put on a brave face if you can’t do this. And then the hammer comes down and essentially she says like their relationship has deteriorated and it’s because she no longer can work with Joelle because she had to prioritize her relationship with her family. And Joelle essentially treats it as this is just another person that has abandoned

Joel sounds like a 5 year old boy in a giants body
Sad.
What's the bigger takeaway from this article?
Is Joel extremely mentally fragile OR did the franchise fail him?
Heβs mentally fragile. An MVP center who canβt even get out of the 2nd round.
He's just not a leader or doesn't care about anything but his own stats
Joel is never going to be 100% shouldnβt have extended him.
FIRE MOREY ASAP!!! Time for a full rebuild and it canβt happen with MOREY there, heβs a habitual loser whoβs accomplished NOTHING. The Paul George super max was the last straw, this clown has to go
Why don't someone ask about Jelen Hood Serifino? What are the Sixers going to die with him when have bigs like Aluma who maybe better for the 2 way?
Or traded him for a draft pick in the 2026 draft along with Drummond!
Possibly for a new 7+ center!
we all have shit in our lives, but we donβt have 300 mil to wash away the pain
