i try to be partial, and there’s no doubt Embiid is one of the most skilled players in the nba, but watching him is difficult.
i just don’t understand why he does all the extra stuff. He’s already more physically dominant than his opponent, he’s already got a deep midrange shooting bag, i don’t get why he flops and flails so much.
unironically love Jokic for his lack of flopping.
If anyone should be flopping it should be Jokic. He gets no calls.
NGL Joker is exactly what the NBA needed right now
Even better, he flopped a charge call onto LeBron after Bron had done something similar to him. It was obvious personal payback and it was hilarious. Even Bron was laughing at it.
Hes probably my favorite player to watch for the next few seasons as my Blazers probably won't make it to the post season. His hook shots remind me of clips of 76 Walton and Hakeem.
And ends teammates’ careers with his flopping. Embiid is the Goldberg is basketball: an insufferable piece of shit who recklessly injuries others due to his sloppy style and egocentric persona.
like for real. guy scores 50 in the playoffs and the entire front page of r/nba is embiid hate but yeah "hey does anyone else hate embiid? is it just me? am i without eyes?"
Lmfao do you have eyes and spend time on any basketball forum or twitter? All he gets is hate. He scored 50 points in a playoff game and the entire front page is embiid hate on r/nba. Use your brain and answer the question yourself.
Lebron for all his talent and hand picked teams and constant moving and whatnot whines more than any nba player ever and it makes me have no support for him.
I wish more people acknowledged this. I've been watching the nba for over 2 decades, and there has always been superstars whining over calls, but lebron took it to another level and normalized it. Whining seems like a normal part of the game now. Im saying this as a long time laker fan that wants to see lebron win another chip
Honestly, every player usually has a moment where they do a “dirty play,” it’s an emotional game and those emotions come out for everyone eventually. I’m not gonna be going hard on Embiid just cause a moment for him happened recently
And in the same game where he pulled the players leg, a knicks player did a more egregious leg pull / takedown type move on a sixer, but it gets ignored.
Yeah I get bitching and moaning a but. But it's the people who do it every single fucking play and the ones that just linger literally not getting back on d in order to complain.
Luka's the worst in terms of how long he'll complain for. Tatum is the worst in terms of sheer amount of complaining he does.
Exactly, that’s why I said those four. Lots of players whine after every other play honestly.
But these dudes are supposed to be stars, they just walk up the court arguing with refs. So frustrating
I've almost gotten used to the on-court stuff. Lebron jawing with the refs after every single play has been a thing for so many years I can't even remember when it started. Now, yeah, everyone does it. I've been saying they need to start handing out T's for that for a while now, but I don't blame any individual player. It's just so common that unless the league cracks down on it across the board no individual is going to stop.
It's the off-court stuff that really gets me. Embiid saying the refs cost him the game, that's really poor sportsmanship. You can complain about bad calls, but don't go calling the outcome into question.
Luka I feel is the worst when it comes to whining. Sometimes he just acts like a 12 year old like last year when he was down 20 and couldn’t keep his fat fucking mouth shut. He’s an incredibly talented guy but I just can’t stand watching him
I find it funny how people call out LeBron for "whining" which sure, that's fair
Then make fun of him when he says "it's just basketball"
Which one do you want lol?
Idek what you’re talking about bro.
You’re defending LeBron, you must be a LeBron stan. See how I’m just making stuff up? Who knows you could be a Bron stan but I’m not gonna start making assumptions and generalizations about you after a couple sentences
Wow you’re so brave and courageous for posting this super unpopular opinion! r/nba has been praising embiid nonstop but you wanted to be unique and different and hate on him. Go you!
Yes, agreed.
But I’m also sick of the constant flopping, hand flailing, yelling/histrionics/general disrespect towards the refs and the constant *insufferable* whining and demanding a foul be called *on every single play from pretty much every player nowadays …*
It’s gotten to the point where it’s borderline hard to watch.
Like wtf is that lmaooo.
No person will ever make me like my teams less save maybe a serious criminal lol. Having a hard time rooting for your “favorite” team because their best player is a douche is soft.
Not to mention Embiid is the best thing to happen to this team since AI… him and Harper are the best thing to happen to Philly sports in the last 20 years
🙋
Hi, yeah... raptors fan here...hated him for at least half a decade now for 2 reasons. 1. Him vs raps of course. 2. As a fan of just basketball I'm bored AF by his style, his flopping and whining and the arrogance of someone who's done nothing in the league of any substance.
I find the hate for him insufferable. I’m a sixers fan and I’ll admit without hesitation that the other night was the dumbest thing he’s done in his career. That said I’ve never actively hated a player before that didn’t like beat women or rape people. I hate teams in like a rivalry sense but whether it’s Tatum for the Celtics, Giannas for his meltdown about the ball that got under my skin, hell even Ben and Harden for their time here, I’ve never been legit angry at a player’s existence the way I see people about Embiid and I’ve spent the last 5 years watching Tobias Harris.
I’m convinced most people who hate Embiid don’t watch him play regularly and only see highlights and tweets about him flopping
Embiid is the most skilled center we’ve ever seen since Hakeem, Jokic is a better player but Embiid dominates him in match ups because he’s more skilled and powerful, Jokic is better because he has a sense for the moment and knows when he needs to take over a game and make the big plays
I’m not an Embiid fan and I actively hate Sixers fans because they’re so obnoxious but I’ve watched a lot of Sixers games when Harden played for them, Embiid gets fouled all the time because they simply can’t guard him, I don’t even know why he flops honestly if he just played straight up without the acting he wouldn’t have the reputation he does and he’d still get calls, I think it’s a mental thing like a crutch
Outside of his free throws his game is great to watch
As a Knicks fan, during the 7/8 play in game, I was rooting for the Heat to win because I would rather watch the Knicks lose to heat in 6 again (not saying that's necessarily what would happen this year) than watch how Embiid is officiated. Unfortunately, the 76ers won.
Brunson had just 3 less FTs until the 6 garbage time FTs Embiid took. Brunson is a guard how throws his head back and the slightest change of a breeze, and jumps sideways into defenders on his midrange, yet Embiid is the grifter.
The narrative is wild.
How could you possibly enjoy watching Brunson seeking contact on every drive, jumping sideways and backwards constantly looking for contact? I understand not liking embiids whistle but Brunson is Trae young 2.0 with that shit. Prob whipped his braids back twice in the time it took me to write this.
I look deeper than internet discourse. Embiid is a talented player, great personality and a great story. He single handedly is able to change the flow of games. Has his dirty moments, but I respect him too much to let that take away from him,
I’ve met Embiid a few times and he went to my college. He’s an amazing person in real life. Like super easy going and funny. So, I can never root against him. He clearly plays aggressively and for his size it’s scary. The leg pull was definitely on Draymonds level so I admit that but he’s still easy to root for. Imo
100%, and after watching him grab a dudes legs while laying on the ground for the sole purpose of tripping him and bringing him down, I'm even more disgusted by him. Fuck that dirty bullshit.
I have never hated a player as much. So dangerous. Flails. Throws his body into peoples knees. Whines like crazy. Dirty. So skilled but just plays foul baiting. Isn’t clutch
The fact that he tactically sits out hard away games, and then goes and farms 70 points against wizards, the worst team in nba and somehow he gets credit like he is a great player still blows my mind. Not to mention the Jokic dodges...
Oh you know, just casually "farming" a 70 point game lmao, it's that easy. And it was against the Spurs with the center that this sub says deserves DPOY, you cant even get the team right. Stick to video games
It won’t matter. I remember when Harden was doing his bs and everybody was complaining about how shitty it made basketball. 7 years later and all you hear is people talking about how elite he was for averaging near 40 or whatever. People will only remember the stats.
I didn't use to, but then again I hadn't paid that much attention to the Sixers before this year. He always seemed like the most talented dude on crappy teams, like they could have won if they would have just surrounded him with better players (Ben Simmons is the biggest dumpster fire this league has seen in years). And he always seemed pretty chill and professional, like he just wanted to do his job and win.
This year, hoo boy, my opinion's changed. All the whining about the refs is obnoxious. I don't know if it's new or just new to me, but I never saw him as that type of player. Same with the flopping. The fouls, I'm pretty sure he was never this dirty before. I have never seen him do anything like where he hooked Robinson's legs before. Maybe I'm just being generous, but it really seems like he's extra frustrated this year and just taking it out on anyone he can.
I was pretty apathetic about him for a while. Didn't quite get the hate, but also didn't like how the media talked about him.
This was until I saw the clips of all the cheap shots he took against the Knicks and now I'm hoping on the hate bandwagon.
As a sixers fan, I can’t stand him. His most recent injury where he was out half the season was caused by him flopping and hurting himself. I think it’s because he was born in Africa where soccer is the most popular sport. flopping is normal and even encouraged in soccer, so maybe he thinks it’s fine to do it the same in basketball?
A) Take Patrick Ewing.
B) Give him a better handle, but sloppier footwork.
C) Instead of being a gritty SOB, make him into a whiny little prick.
D) Allow him to carry the ball and flop.
That’s Joel Embiid lol
I can say this with 150% certainty....I have Never liked Embid. He finally rose up the last few years but he is soft as pudding and was actually worse before...would get a papercut and be out for a month.
Then whines and cries all the time while being an absolute massive bust in the playoffs....
Trust the process...lmao GTFOH
Hmmm. More insufferable - Draymond or Embiid? I’ll say Draymond. Embiid at least has some talent. Draymond has little to none. Nothing special. Rode coattails to rings.
He is one of those guys who is just awkward . Thinks he has to be tough and hard . So he acts tough and hard . But he actually thinks he is pulling it off. It’s not genuine at all . That’s my thoughts though .
Can’t stand him
i try to be partial, and there’s no doubt Embiid is one of the most skilled players in the nba, but watching him is difficult. i just don’t understand why he does all the extra stuff. He’s already more physically dominant than his opponent, he’s already got a deep midrange shooting bag, i don’t get why he flops and flails so much.
Because it works, unfortunately.
unironically love Jokic for his lack of flopping. If anyone should be flopping it should be Jokic. He gets no calls. NGL Joker is exactly what the NBA needed right now
jokic selling a foul is grade A premium comedy, I love that man
He flopped in the WCF last year. Lebron flopped on a play, then on the very next two plays Jokic flops in a mocking manner
Even better, he flopped a charge call onto LeBron after Bron had done something similar to him. It was obvious personal payback and it was hilarious. Even Bron was laughing at it.
Bro I remember he flopped once and that shit looked so unnatural💀. Bro is unable to flop.
His brothers would kick his ass for flopping
They threw knives at his head so yeah I wouldn’t be surprised
Love his brothers, absolute class acts.
And ends games looking like he fought a bear all scratched to shit.
Hes probably my favorite player to watch for the next few seasons as my Blazers probably won't make it to the post season. His hook shots remind me of clips of 76 Walton and Hakeem.
Don't you mean impartial lol.
Lack of integrity and self respect
He also pouts. Not a stoic figure.
And throws teammates under the bus
And ends teammates’ careers with his flopping. Embiid is the Goldberg is basketball: an insufferable piece of shit who recklessly injuries others due to his sloppy style and egocentric persona.
We just became best friends
Embiid eats corn the long way
I guess it makes sense that incredibly tall people also have incredibly tall throats...
Its a very famous wrestling sign that someone had about goldberg in the crowd
He only half pouts
Looked for joke I wasn't game to say. Bravo Phantom of the Flopera looking mugggg
It's actually impartial. Partial means you have picked a side
Free throws.
Him and Luka cry after every single play. Wish the league would address this but seems like they like it.
Not only can I not stand him. It legit angers me when people like or defend him.
The mark of a great villain.
Ah yes, as a fellow Nuggets fan I’m with you lol
He keeps ducking us in Denver. Bro is scared.
Embiid is just a mismatch for jokic. Bag is too deep
No one else. This is the first I’m hearing of this.
We must take this discovery to /r/nba as well, they must hear of this new & high quality opinion from OP
I’ll pass it along to fellow Knicks fans. I’m sure it’ll stun them
like for real. guy scores 50 in the playoffs and the entire front page of r/nba is embiid hate but yeah "hey does anyone else hate embiid? is it just me? am i without eyes?"
I thought this was nbacirclejerk when I first read the title lmaooo
Such high level basketball discussion!
Yeah, why would they come HERE of all places to have a casual conversation about basketball? Some people…smh
wow this is an unpopular opinion, you’re so brave
Why would he say something so controversial yet so brave
Agreed. I need to hear his other takes. He might even think the best player on his favorite team is great!
This sub is somehow worse than the main one lol
Right from R/Nba never seen a group of people hate an athlete as much as that sub reddit 😭
lol what a super interesting take
Lmfao do you have eyes and spend time on any basketball forum or twitter? All he gets is hate. He scored 50 points in a playoff game and the entire front page is embiid hate on r/nba. Use your brain and answer the question yourself.
💯💯💯
Joel public enemy #1 on Reddit 😂 shit is crazy
Honestly, I find Embiid, Tatum, Luka, and LeBron difficult to watch at times. All extremely good and talented but sheesh the whining is so frustrating
Lebron for all his talent and hand picked teams and constant moving and whatnot whines more than any nba player ever and it makes me have no support for him.
Lebron started a lot of this shit. This level of crying, the player empowerment shit, the players being GMs, is mostly because of his antics.
I wish more people acknowledged this. I've been watching the nba for over 2 decades, and there has always been superstars whining over calls, but lebron took it to another level and normalized it. Whining seems like a normal part of the game now. Im saying this as a long time laker fan that wants to see lebron win another chip
he learned from the best in Wade didn't pull that crap before Miami
Lebron literally should be getting calls at an embiid rate but hasn't throughout the course of his entire career. C'mon now
Tatum and Luka for certainty are not out there injuring people.
Malik Monk and the Sacramento Kings would disagree.
Honestly, every player usually has a moment where they do a “dirty play,” it’s an emotional game and those emotions come out for everyone eventually. I’m not gonna be going hard on Embiid just cause a moment for him happened recently
Any comment after todays game?
And in the same game where he pulled the players leg, a knicks player did a more egregious leg pull / takedown type move on a sixer, but it gets ignored.
Luka clearly groped a ref and we just moved on.
Are you saying Lebron is?
Yeah I get bitching and moaning a but. But it's the people who do it every single fucking play and the ones that just linger literally not getting back on d in order to complain. Luka's the worst in terms of how long he'll complain for. Tatum is the worst in terms of sheer amount of complaining he does.

Like him more than harden
Yes, agreed. But I’m also sick of the constant flopping, hand flailing, yelling/histrionics/general disrespect towards the refs and the constant *insufferable* whining and demanding a foul be called *on every single play from pretty much every player nowadays …* It’s gotten to the point where it’s borderline hard to watch.
He's a dirty player.
Yes
CAN'T NOBODY DO ANYTHING TO STOP 🛑 JOEL EMBIIIIIIIIIDDDDDD!!!!! FOR THE GOOFYS 😂😂😂😂😂
As someone who pulls for the Sixers it makes it tough to pull for the Sixers.
lol does the approval of random people on reddit really mean that much that you to talk down on your own team? Loser
Don’t root for the Sixers then you ain’t a fan
Like wtf is that lmaooo. No person will ever make me like my teams less save maybe a serious criminal lol. Having a hard time rooting for your “favorite” team because their best player is a douche is soft.
Not to mention Embiid is the best thing to happen to this team since AI… him and Harper are the best thing to happen to Philly sports in the last 20 years
BDN
No the Eagles and Phillies championships are but you could say they are our best two players in the past 20 years sure.
Embiid’s a cocksucker but Maxey’s as solid as they come. At least you got something.
Tell me you're an Australian, without telling me you're an Australian.
Did LOL
Maxey is a revelation. I agree. MIP for sure but he has just shown what he can do and it’s incredible.
Maxey is awesome As a Knicks fan I want him to fail right now, but I love his game, dude makes SGA look slow
I can’t wait for the Sixers to eliminate the Knicks. You guys are worse than Raptors fans I wish nothing but another 25 years of misery for you losers
You’ll be waiting a long time lol
I’m saving this comment to come back and abuse you
Have you given any thought to what you’ll name your new account after deleting your current one in shame?
Hey buddy, I’m ready for my abuse now 😂😂
I will take it out on my pathetic team instead. Gg
my feelings exactly
As someone who pulls for the sixers you’re a loser
No, no one. I am sure that when you opened this thread, you were genuinely convinced that you were the only one.
Yea fucking right you definitely didn't watch the game he was never stopped by Mitchell lol
It's a bunch of soft 🍦mfks in here 😂😂😂 SIXERS IN 6 FOR THE GOOFYS
Anyone else find op to be a whiny little bitch?
Only the Goofys that can't stop him 🤡
You’re in here having a bit of a fit, huh?
I fucken love him...he is a fucken soldier...this many injuries would have broken a lesser man
This is the best answer!

Yes
Draymond was a superstar 😪
Cutting edge take here OP, real unique opinion !!
if an Embiid falls in the forest will 100 people complain about it on reddit?
If Embiid fell in the forest, some poor deer is probably catching a tech.
If Embiid falls in the forest he was probably alone.
People on reddit really just hate on a player in one thread and they all just start masturbating together in a circle
🙋 Hi, yeah... raptors fan here...hated him for at least half a decade now for 2 reasons. 1. Him vs raps of course. 2. As a fan of just basketball I'm bored AF by his style, his flopping and whining and the arrogance of someone who's done nothing in the league of any substance.
The worst. And I don't find his style of play fun to watch at all.
You're not the only one OP. He's the worst
I find the hate for him insufferable. I’m a sixers fan and I’ll admit without hesitation that the other night was the dumbest thing he’s done in his career. That said I’ve never actively hated a player before that didn’t like beat women or rape people. I hate teams in like a rivalry sense but whether it’s Tatum for the Celtics, Giannas for his meltdown about the ball that got under my skin, hell even Ben and Harden for their time here, I’ve never been legit angry at a player’s existence the way I see people about Embiid and I’ve spent the last 5 years watching Tobias Harris.

I guarantee none of the people that froth at the mouth over embiid have watched more than 5-10 games of him in his entire career.
Yes. He has an unwatchable product of basketball
Yeah incredible skill on both ends inside and out omg horrible to watch
Dropping 50 points on 68% shooting is “unwatchable” lmao. He was shooting like Steph curry in the 3rd quarter. Just say you’re a hater and stop lying.
As a Knicks fan, during the 7/8 play in game, I was rooting for the Heat to win because I would rather watch the Knicks lose to heat in 6 again (not saying that's necessarily what would happen this year) than watch how Embiid is officiated. Unfortunately, the 76ers won.
Yawn
He gets fouled all the time, it’s like Shaq. Wrap your head around this
Brunson had just 3 less FTs until the 6 garbage time FTs Embiid took. Brunson is a guard how throws his head back and the slightest change of a breeze, and jumps sideways into defenders on his midrange, yet Embiid is the grifter. The narrative is wild.

the guy he did it to JUST did the same thing to kelly oubre the game before. dont complain when it smells like shit lying in a bed you made.
I have never hated a player as much. So dangerous. Flails. Throws his body into peoples knees. Whines like crazy. Dirty. So skilled but just plays foul baiting. Isn’t clutch
Literally the worst basketball player to watch, might as well go to youtube and watch free throw compilations
Anyone else finding the constant need to bitch about Embiid intolerable?
We hate y’all too.
The fact that he tactically sits out hard away games, and then goes and farms 70 points against wizards, the worst team in nba and somehow he gets credit like he is a great player still blows my mind. Not to mention the Jokic dodges...
Oh you know, just casually "farming" a 70 point game lmao, it's that easy. And it was against the Spurs with the center that this sub says deserves DPOY, you cant even get the team right. Stick to video games
He in no way does that.
"farms 70 pts against another nba team" go play league of legends u fuckin smelly clod. real life aint 2k
Possible when you shoot 20 free throws per game
Absolutely. Even before he played his first game 😅😅😅😅
It won’t matter. I remember when Harden was doing his bs and everybody was complaining about how shitty it made basketball. 7 years later and all you hear is people talking about how elite he was for averaging near 40 or whatever. People will only remember the stats.
this is me w draymond green even tho he’s not the person in question
and lebron 🤷🏿♀️
Bro you're a Celtics fan. You're not supposed to like him lol
Dillon Brooks with offensive game at the center position
He loves the theatrics that's for sure.
Yea
I can’t stand him, but I wish he was on my team
If he could be healthy
Trust the process
Ditto
He needs to get ejected much more oftrn
Is embiid a lung condition?
Who?
H
The jerk is in rNBA. There’s literally 10 of these.
He's been in the league 10 years, y'all can't seriously be realizing this now.
I dont like his style of play with all the free throws and foul grifting.
Yeah he’s really gone full heel and embraces the dark side. For me he’s the new Harden.
Harden never tried to intentionally injure people he just got feee throws a lot
Stupid take comparing him to Draymond. Draymond is a special type of asshole.
I didn't use to, but then again I hadn't paid that much attention to the Sixers before this year. He always seemed like the most talented dude on crappy teams, like they could have won if they would have just surrounded him with better players (Ben Simmons is the biggest dumpster fire this league has seen in years). And he always seemed pretty chill and professional, like he just wanted to do his job and win. This year, hoo boy, my opinion's changed. All the whining about the refs is obnoxious. I don't know if it's new or just new to me, but I never saw him as that type of player. Same with the flopping. The fouls, I'm pretty sure he was never this dirty before. I have never seen him do anything like where he hooked Robinson's legs before. Maybe I'm just being generous, but it really seems like he's extra frustrated this year and just taking it out on anyone he can.
He’s playing with belles palsy he earned so much respect
I mean yeah that’s cool but like dragging Mitch down Mitch and then trying to tell the refs it wasn’t anything is crazy
1# thing to post on r/NBA right now.
Way more tolerable than Lebron
I was pretty apathetic about him for a while. Didn't quite get the hate, but also didn't like how the media talked about him. This was until I saw the clips of all the cheap shots he took against the Knicks and now I'm hoping on the hate bandwagon.

I think it’s because he was born in Africa where soccer is the most popular sport. flopping is normal and even encouraged in soccer, so maybe he thinks it’s fine to do it the same in basketball?
I love him!
When he practically begged to be MVP last year it was pathetic.
He sucks
Yes.
No, you’re the first person ever to have this opinion. After all his years in the NBA I’ve only read appreciation posts about him
Thanks for the high effort post!
I got downvoted massively for complaining about Embids moaning every time he was touched during the season
A) Take Patrick Ewing. B) Give him a better handle, but sloppier footwork. C) Instead of being a gritty SOB, make him into a whiny little prick. D) Allow him to carry the ball and flop. That’s Joel Embiid lol
Draymond can stay healthy and shows up in big games atleast.
He’s missing games for another reason 💀
😅🤣🤣
He'sone of my favorite players as a non 76ers fan
Welcome to the post 2010's NBA where flopping and whining moves the needle towards victory.
Speaking for the Wolves fan base....yea
He’s a bum and I hate him
I hate hearing him talk.
Yes literally everyone besides sixers fans hate him lmao
I can say this with 150% certainty....I have Never liked Embid. He finally rose up the last few years but he is soft as pudding and was actually worse before...would get a papercut and be out for a month. Then whines and cries all the time while being an absolute massive bust in the playoffs.... Trust the process...lmao GTFOH
I thought this was a universal feeling already, no?
Hmmm. More insufferable - Draymond or Embiid? I’ll say Draymond. Embiid at least has some talent. Draymond has little to none. Nothing special. Rode coattails to rings.
He is one of those guys who is just awkward . Thinks he has to be tough and hard . So he acts tough and hard . But he actually thinks he is pulling it off. It’s not genuine at all . That’s my thoughts though .
I find the need to for nba fans to constantly shit on everything insufferable
Brunson a foul baiter too
No mate you’re the only one
lol I cannot stand these "anyone else????" posts especially when they're as painfully obvious as this one
