Embiid is a class act. 

Post#1 » by DLoMor » Fri May 3, 2024 4:37 am

He actually congratulates the other team and appreciates them well. That is why he is one of my favorite NBA players. You don't see may players show appreciation to others nowadays.

The bar for some guys is so low, we celebrate the fact they congratulate their opponent after a loss...

Has he ever thrown a teammate under the bus that didn’t deserve to be thrown under the bus?

Not a Sixers fan and I actually hate Embiid’s foul baiting methods (though apart from that, I respect his basketball skills for a player his size) but I don’t feel like Embiid was out of line with what he’s said about his teammates, both good or bad.

Commits flagrant fouls at twice the rate of Draymond Green = classy player. You're worse than eyeatoma.

If i think about "class acts" in the NBA the players who would have never (!) crossed my mind are Joel Embiid, Draymond Green and Grayson Allen.

I really thought that this thread was meant as a joke.

Well, he sure did have a lot of practice to get it right. People call him Joe L for a reason, no?

Flagrant fouled players on the raptors during that playoff series. On ours. Whacks players across their faces. Steps on their legs when they’re down. Pulls players down when he’s down. He’s a bum, and only got the MVP because they don’t want to give it to joker every year.

We sent him home and he’ll be a perennial loser.

i have no hard feelings towards the sixers or embiid anymore. I still think some of embiids plays were dirty in game 3, but hey. our players look fine, bogey was a freak accident. so i cant be too mad, he competed really hard and wanted the win.

emotions were running high this series and it could have easily been 3-2 philly before yesterday. all games were close, both teams battled. and if embiid is healthy, i dont wanna face that team in the first round again, thats for sure.

hats off to the sixers. now move on to indy, its a very different team.
