    Embiid is a freaking annoying arrogant prick. I like him less and less and he has barely played any games.
    The way he behaves pretty soon he will be my most hated player in the league.

    Want to trashtalk? Want to dunk on players? Fine. Do it ON THE COURT.
    But losing and going on social media trying to humiliate and embarass your colleagues?
    Unprofessional, immature, childish, narcissistic and severe inferioriy complex.

    I would despise a person who humiliates his colleagues publicly if I met them in real life and so do I with Embiid.
    Being famous or being good in a sport doesnt change a thing about his shitty character.

    He was outside of the restricted area and got both feet set in place before contact. Looks pretty clear to me.

    Falling before taking actual contact isn't a charge. He didn't even take the charge completely. He anticipated. Correct call. Not a charge

    all of clutchfans hates westbrook for deservedly winning mvp over harden (who also deserved it, it could have gone either way)

    but we all wish harden had westbrook's killer instinct, heart, passion, and desire in the playoffs

    Westbrook’s heart, passion, and killer instinct were really key in icing that first round playoff series last year, right?

    Imagine if Harden had that killer instinct, heart, passion, and desire in an elimination game AT HOME against a team WITHOUT their best player. :eek:

    WCF guaranteed :eek::eek::eek:

    Embiid could be one of the best players in the NBA over the next decade , but right now he plays too recklessly. Perhaps part of the reason he gets hurt frequently is that he throws his body around like its made out of rubber. He will need to learn some control or he's going to hurt someone, get hurt himself, or be constantly inconsistent.

    I think a lot of people attribute this to " hustle and passion" where as i see it as not being in control and lacking wisdom. Maybe it will come
