lol. As a Philly and Embiid fan it sucks. Team is ass but whatevs. Keep that energy and make another thread when yall get eliminated.

I dont think his MVP is going to age badly. People will forget how much they dislike him, look at his stats and determine he was worthy. I'd rather Jokic got it but people act like it was absolute robbery when Embiid had a fantastic season lol. That being said another year another early embiid exit rip bozo.
the only reason anyone voted for embiid was that they were bored of jokic winning it and felt like embiid should get one at some point. it was and is indefensible otherwise. embiid is a better defender than jokic but if you're taking that into account then giannis had a better season than embiid.
embiid is an incredibly talented player — he obviously should've been top-3 in that race — who just absolutely does not have it when stakes are high. that's why it's going to age badly, because it's what people are going to remember him for.

All he had to do make Knicks fans not show up was to play better and not mouth off. But he did all that and took that L

I am not a hardcore nba fan and I am fallowing the events in USA basket far away from europe with moderate interest….in the last year thanks to some excellent podcast, like hoop collective and jj Redick, I am more immersed in the nba then before and it seems to me knicks and laker fanbase have a self absorbed, pretentious and petty way to see the game of basketball that just makes the whole game much more flat, uninteresting and toxic.
a little bit like the console warriors in the gaming scene.
enjoy the success.

As someone who has absolutely no stake in this, since I am an NBA fan but don't follow any particular team, the premise and content of this thread seems needlessly petty.
this is what the average knicks fan is like

Let them bask in the afterglow. As someone who sometimes likes Embiid and sometimes doesn't like him, his behavior in this series was infuriating for a Knick fan, and the OP is one.
But yeah this is why I don't talk ball or wrasslin online lol
the only thing I get mad at online is YouTube cooking channels
As a Knicks fan it was a shame that he played so dirty.
Dudes been banged up and I hope they can get ride of Tobias Harris.

My guys playing through bells palsy and folks still hate his guts. No place inspires hate like Philly.
Oh shit, I didn't even realize the Knicks were in the playoffs. I swear I checked the bracket two weeks ago.

I hope when he retires the headline reads.
"Joel Embiid, Done Fuckin Hoopin!"
It's a bit much for sure, but his brazenly dirty and dangerous play this series has definitely turned more people against him, which is likely the cause of outbursts like this.
What he did was amazing for everything he was going through, but he could have still done all that without being a prick. As a result I'm glad he got eliminated
Came into the series with a great deal of respect for Joel's game, but I had no idea he was such a dirty player. So unnecessary as well because of his talent. But his reputation has taken a major hit, and it wasn't just Knicks fans and Knicks media people pointing out Joel's flagrant behavior.
Maxey, on the other hand, is that dude.
