    Embiid is an inspiration to us all. After I get off the toilet, I’m going to call my boss to tell him I’ll only work Monday, Wednesday and Friday, but I expect the same salary.

    Why is Philadelphia paying all this money to two players who can’t even stay healthy during the season or even before the season starts…

    Most of Joel’s injuries came from him purposely falling, then someone falling on him

    Wow. And this is the example the 76ers’ star player sets for his teammates? What a clown.

    Leadership and availability are two of the most important qualities a superstar can have and he lacks both.

    October 16, 2024 at 12:36 am

    I’m confused. SAS crucifies Kwahi, who’s a 2x champ and 2x Finals MVP yet supports a guy who never made it past the semis while considering THAT SAME GUY the best big man from a talent perspective.

    NBA should greatly reduce or even cut out back-to-back games.

    Health. It is similar to Kawhi. Clippers and Sixers will not go far. Do not bet on either team.
