[Highlight] Jaylen Brown tries to throw down the poster dunk but Embiid STUFFS him at the rim!
Elite Game 7
The end of the second half was top tier playoff basketball
Except the Celtics ref ball
Still couldn’t win :)
Embiid has 2 broken legs and brown can’t yam it on him
People give embiid so much shit for his health, something that’s been outside of his control, but I could never doubt this man’s heart. Especially some of the dumb freak facial injuries. Dude wants nothing more than to hoop his heart out.
Yah I don’t understand how people don’t love embiid. The foul stuff is annoying but he absolutely plays his heart out.
Agreed, I can never question his heart. He has had the most random injuries too. Broken face x2, Bells Palsy, Gastroenteritis, you name it. In fact 2020 is the only postseason he wasn’t injured and it was a year they weren’t even contending lmao.
2018 (first playoff run) Injury: Orbital fracture + concussion Impact: Missed first 2 playoff games, played in a mask after
2019 Injury: Left knee tendinitis + Gastroenteritis Impact: Missed game 1 Raptors series, clearly limited
2021 Injury: Torn meniscus (right knee) Impact: Missed 1 game, played through it hobbled rest of playoffs
2022 Injury: Torn thumb ligament(shooting hand)+ Orbital fracture/concussion Impact: Missed first 2 games vs Heat, played masked and limited after
2023 (MVP year) Injury: LCL (Right Knee) Impact: Missed 2 games across Nets and Celtics series, clearly slowed
2024 Injury: Recovering from meniscus surgery(left knee)+ Bell’s palsy Impact: Played, but severely impacted (couldn’t blink needed eyedrops every timeout)
2026 Injury: Appendicitis leading into playoffs Impact: Missed first 3 games but hopefully less limited than previous playoffs.
i think theres a difference between loving embiid’s past and loving embiid’s future. embiid was a superstar once-in-a-generation type player. embiid was an unstoppable force on the court when he got going. people will always love him for the highlights he’s had. but thats the past. at present, he’s playing on half a knee and half a face. you can respect how good a player was but also recognize that they arent that player anymore
coming back and proving he still has “it” this playoffs would be a big step in shutting people up about his legacy
Embiid is nowhere close to the tier of player that has a “legacy”
Trye
He’s got .75 knees left
All things considered, 75% isn’t that bad at this point
.75 / 2 doesn’t come out to 75% my good sir
Nah bro underrr, especially since Jaylen stiff armed Maxey into them
Think you missed a 76 joke by .01
Embiid will never score 20 again in the nba. Thank you bill.
And a missing appendix
Not even Brown’s left hand
Please God, just give Embiid one injury free post season
His knees are so cooked he’s never going to be 100% again, but he’s close.
He said this year that his knees feel better than they have in years. “That’s past me” I recall him saying
We’ve also seen him hyperextend his knee like 3 times in the last 2 games lol
Can’t injure your knee if there is no knee left to injure 🤔
At this point he has no ligaments left but his style really doesn’t rely on athleticism thankfully
This is probably the best supporting cast around him since 2019, we have 3 players other than him that can go off for 20+ on any night
He deserves his 2011 Dirk run. Basketball has been truly unfair to him.
Hype af block
Been a ton of blocks on attempted posters tonight
GTFO !!!! THIS GROWN MAN HOURS WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!? EMBIID IS!!!
Well, I’ll be damned. Jojo to the rescue just when the team needs him. Philly might just get this.
Another center lets him get the easy dunk btw
Very classy.
Anyone’s game still
Embiid’s redemption tour continues
this series made me question how i was ever an embiid hater.
Slow mo showed he was actually stuffed by the rim. Which idk if that helps Browns case lol
“Grown man move. Momma there goes that man” - Mark Jackson
Jokic could never. Even if fully healthy and in his prime.
He what’s at the what
On 0.5 knees too
i love to get stuff by embiid
Jaylen Brown is so weak 😂
He got stuffed here for sure but that is quite a take…
Did we forget this man yammed on Rudy, Giannis, and LeBron?
lol he probably has the best reel of posters in the league other than LeBron
Been a great game so far
Buahahah so many celt fans been saying look out spurs even if you get past thunder Celtics got you.
from Berkley to Santa Cruz all in one move
Never forget that A LOT of people had this bozo as a more deserving MVP candidate over Luka.
This is what lost the game for Boston. Brown being an idiot
