    Because even if its a joke... the media/players/coaches start complaining more (becoming obsessed which also brings out more dumb fans complaining everywhere about a legal move) and this **** picks up steam and the next thing you know we got Harden rules 2.0 next year.

    I think Embiid posting his tiresome crap on social media, going tit for tat on comments, is the epitome of this so-called pussified league. I have a hard time imagining Jordan, Hakeem, playing around like this.

    I think he's the new Shaq, trying to be funny and thinking he's "in your head"

    No one is complaining. Everyone pretty much universally loves Harden’s step back. Plus it’s been proven over and over how it’s not a travel. The only coach I’ve heard b**** about it is Kerr.

    How well did Harden rule 1.0 work out? He averaged 10 FTA a game this year.

    Just heard Royce Young, Russ' mouthpiece, on a podcast crying about hardens stepback. Both he and embiid I.D.I.O.T

    Why is everyone on ClutchFans so insecure? What's wrong with Embiid trying to be like GAWDEN?

    Personally i'm not angry at him for this, i agree he's just joking, was just talking in general, it's like he's constantly trying to be in the spotlights for a reason or another, not that it's a problem, i also understad he's young etc, i just think he tries to hard sometimes, and i don't find him genuine let's say.

    To each their own.
    It's not a one off thing but a pattern of behaviour.
    Ridiculing constantly off the court your colleagues without even any reason or provocation it's not something I appreciate.

    The chump looks like a goofus. I hope his team gets bumped early (great city, though).

    You must not follow social media much... fans are stupid and moaning spreads. Refs keep having to defend it via their official account. I cant at the top of my head recall who, but others have mentioned it on tv being a travel * wait that dumb ass Max K today talking to Steven A is fresh in my head

    Harden rule 1.0 still should have never been put it place.

    I dont think any nba player takes his jokes and stuff as sensitively as you guys are

    these are grown men playing basketball for a living. at the end of the day a video like this is really not that offensive or even being a hater lol

    I dont even care about him. I dont hate the guy and know he was clearly joking...I hate the way people start looking at things Harden does as "not normal" and not in a good way because no one else can do it/or as well.

    He's not doing it right - his will get called a travel. I dare him to try it in a real game.

    :p

    If Embiid could stay on the floor, he could guard James on the switch and see it up close

    Really?
    Well off the top of my head I can name three nba players who were offended by his social media bullying. KAT, Drummond and Whiteside.

    As for grown men playing basketball for a living..exactly.
    Embiid doesn't act like any kind of mature or profesional so I have no reason to show him any respect as a fan either.
    I don't like bullies.
