[Highlight] Joel Embiid detonates with the MASSIVE slam over Sandro Mamukelashvili as the Sixers continue to build their huge lead!
Dr Glashow you’ve done miracles on me
It’s insane how good Kawhi and Embiid look this year
also did pg’s procedure this summer as well
PG’s been the perfect defensive guy we’ve needed forever.
Most Valuable Proceduralist
That ESPN article was right, his latest knee surgery did decide his basketball fate.
The Eagles were sacrificed for this
Sixers sacrificed for the eagles last season. Now they are returning the favor.
The Phils just offed themselves because they thought all the cool kids were doing it
Phillies can redeem themselves by getting Bichette.
Well worth it!
The level of let down when the Birds season ends since winning it all is so much lower. And now after winning 2…it’s gravy time as a fan
BUT I am a hoops fan through and through. If (and when) the 76ers finally break through again, it’s gonna be UNREAL!! I really really hope it’s while Joel is still here
They’ve had their time.
It’s like the Warriors and the Niners
As Professor Trelawney once said: Neither can live while the other survives
Embiid must have seen the LeBron of knee doctors because it’s a miracle that he can do this.
He saw the LeBron of knee doctors and now he’s the Shaq of his local street ball courts
😭 I used to play like embiid
He’s no Payton Pritchard tho
honestly watchig the Pritchard video reminded me of the Embiid video from years ago where he was blocking the shit outta kids that were 3.5 feet tall.
Same, cool to see guys still willing to have moments like that, even with the technical risk of injury or embarrassment. It’s a game after all, gotta have fun
Either he found Rey Mysterio’s magical stem cells or his doctor is Jesus
He didn’t just see him. Sixers hired him to be the team’s chief medical advisor and then had him sort out PG too lmao
But Bill Simmons said he’d never do this again
so you thought he’d do this again? dude used to fall on the court instead of bending his knee like two weeks ago
I didn’t think it would be as bad as everyone else was saying. He’s so talented and big that he’ll always score and be a huge presence in the paint. I just didn’t think he would be back to THIS.
His style of play hasn’t relied on pure athleticism either since like the first 1-2 years of playing. He’s bigger than you, has better footwork than your big, punishes handsy players with the rip through and is butter from midrange—none of those things require bouncy knees.
Why wouldn’t he start out conservatively after what he just dealt with
i think two weeks ago he tried a self alley oop off the backboard
I’ll be honest. I did not think he would ever get back to this again
lol right? Dudes acting like that wasn’t the standard take in this sub as recently as weeks ago.
Says a lot about the level of basketball discourse on this sub, doesn’t it?
big fella is looking better and better each day, dare I say it the east should be scared
[deleted]
We gotta figure out how to reverse jinx this.
Gross
Kevin Patullo died for this
Not yet, unfortunately.
Someone needs to do a post on comparing cities’ NFL and NBA teams and if there’s any patterns: do they succeed the same year, or is it the complete reverse
Peak off-season content
Just need to harvest his meniscus
We’re so back
Brother Valdez Edgegoat has injected life into all these dudes knees.
VJ bloodboy Edgecum
VJ got a huge piece on him too. Bahamian Hitter. Don’t ask me how I know.
Shhhh. Be cool bro
I know there are a lot of other factors. But I better not hear any “the Sixers are better without Embiid” idiots talking after they looked so bad last night and so good tonight.
But you guys said he was ass and didn’t deserve that mvp?
They all moved on to hating SGA lol
i never thought hed look nearly this good ever again
this is a treat for the entire nba
full mast
HOLY. We haven’t seen a monster dunk like that form Embiid since before the injury! So happy to see him detonating again. Nothing makes me happier!
Huh last week Reddit kept telling me that this man is severely injured and essentially a man in the wheelchair…
He’s 69% ready
81%
His head barely went above the net (which is a good thing, protect those knees)
I love you Joel
January Joel is back.
This brings me immense joy
Joel “Literally Wolverine” Embiid
Yeah this made me feel things
Eagles got exposed, but at least Embiid is still a 6er
Raptors getting embarrassed 😳
Is one game. They were always going to split this back to back anyway.
It’s not a good idea, but it is a fun one.
When the Big Fella is having fun, I’m having fun
Build the Dr Glashow statue
People often mention d rose or Kawhi as the biggest what ifs in nba history. For me it’s Embiid. Prior to that 2025 injury, the guy looked unreal.
Kawhi is a pretty fair one, but Embiid has gotta take the cake. At his peak he was already dealing with the knee stuff and even so it was easily a top 20ish peak of all time
At embiids peak he literally was scoring at the highest rate of all time
Yeah I mean the argument for top 5 peak is there. It was highest scoring efficiency of all time coupled with top 5 defender in the league
Brother VJ Edgegoat really can become a point guard which would make him even more Goated. He’s already a better passer than Maxey, way more poised and controlled too.
He’s already a better passer than Maxey
Hey MMA let’s not get too far lmfao
That MMA dude has to be related to VJ the way he constantly glazes him lol
That guy is so schizophrenic he creates multiple alt accounts to glaze VJ to insane levels and spout incredibly idiotic takes such as “We should trade Embiid and Maxey for Scoot Henderson and Shaedon Sharpe” lmfao
Just a moron that is perma downvoted in the sixers sub for his awful Joel/Maxey takes
I don’t even care that his takes are bad, the guys just annoying and keeps creating new accounts to spam his nonsense
If any of it were based in reality I really wouldn’t complain. He is definitely a WIP caller
I remember him spamming the Spurs sub to draft VJ over Harper. I’m glad he finally left lol
You’re acting like that is a high bar to clear lol
He is too. He’s just a rookie and dribbling isn’t as good but he never turns the ball over
VJ has some of best hands I’ve seen, Even with a decent handle he don’t turn it over and will get better. He has more natural PG Instincts. Maxey always looks to score; VJ almost always make the smart fundamental play.
Yep, when I see him stuffing the statsheet with 8 quiet assists, it’s so good!
His natural passing and feel for the game is one of a point guard
He can become a smarter Westbrook type Pg with a better 3 pointer
Which is insane when you think about it.
He’s soooo calm out there at all times
Yea Maxey is a natural SG but he’s 6-1 so forced to be at point but he’s not calm or poised, he just all gas no breaks. VJ plays like a 20 year Vet and just turned 20 lol
I will say maxey has become a good (not great) PG over the last couple years and he doesn’t turn the ball over compared to a lot of other PGs averaging a similar amount of assists.
He’s alright. Still doesn’t see wide open passes and forces bad shots. He’s a volume scorer, not a Pg
big fella is here and were up by 30
hope that championship last night felt good raptors
Respect to the big man for contesting it though, I’ll never shit on any defensive attempt!
Joel Embiid saved my life with this dunk.
Kyle LMAOO
i miss prime embiid. he was mvp only a few years ago.
And he was actually better in 23-24. He is a truly special player and the NBA absolutely fumbled a narrative by not focusing on Joel and Jokic (and now Wemby) completely changing the idea of what big men could do in the league.
Oh fuck. MVP Embiid, 96 raptors court.
Upvote you bastards!!!!
Don’t give me hope
Never beating the washed allegations /s
Wtf was that call? Grrrrrrrrroooowwwwlllllllll
Kyle Lowry woke up the demon
hell yeah
Dude is looking more and more healthy. The East is wide open, I’m hoping the 76ers can take advantage.
I hope he’s okay
I’m sure Sandro’s fine. It wasn’t an all-out contested dunk, so he didn’t get fully posterized.
I genuinely don’t understand how the raptors ever lose games and the sixers are above .500 based solely off of watching the hawks play them lol
That floor looks so cool
Looking a bit agile again, but his dunks always look so strange. He jumps like 20 inches for these
We take what we can get dawg. We thought he was wheelchair bound.
No that’s fair, I want him to be healthy too. And I kind of mean this for all the super tall big men. Even Wemby does this strong dunks and does a 10 inch jump for them
His agility has gotten progressively better by the week. Those who saw him at the start of the season and pronounced him to be a basketball corpse are obviously trying to justify their (premature) judgements.
Who knows what happens over the next 5 months, but this team is fun to watch and they really look like they’re having fun playing together.
This guy will have flashback moments once a week.
I guess the knee pain comes and goes.
Embiid has been looking progressively better for about 2 weeks now for the most part.
He’s been looking good consistently for a while now
Look at his last ten games. It’s not once a week
I’m talking highlight plays my man
Yeah that ain’t once a week either my man
enjoy it while it lasts
This little maneuver is going to cost him 3 games
Weird
He’ll be out next game with this “explosive “ dunk
Shut up maxi pad
Same evandumbodorb
Doubt it
Yeah he barely got it over the rim at full extension.
Wasn’t the last time he actually postered someone that self-alley oop vs the Knicks in the playoffs?
Yknow, the one he hurt himself from
aren’t yall 0-2 against the sixers this season?
Shhh quiet about that lol
I wasn’t trying to talk shit I was genuinely wondering.
You’re probably right, this is his 4th dunk on the year but the others weren’t contested, and last year I honestly shut out of my mind minus Jared’s stretch
Fair enough us sixers fans get PTSD from that moment.
Congrats he’s dunking on a team whos tallest dude is 6’9
He looked like he could not jump one inch less than 2 months ago. Y’all are miserable
It’s a miracle he’s even dunking lol his knee has been blown to smithereens like 3 different times
Do you guys even like basketball
Classic raptors fan
Nice, clearly commented during the game when i was pissed off & it’s not as if other fans don’t sling shit like this.
But cheers “Classic raptors fan” comment
Your words are your words man
