Jaylen Brown talking about his new teammate, Joel Embiid two months ago: “Flopping has ruined our league. Joel Embiid is one of the greatest players that has played basketball, but he flops. He knows it too.”
Man I seen Scotty Pippen Jr. be teammates with a guy who used to date his mom.
Jaylen and Joel will be alright.
And the fact of the matter is, Joel knows JB is 100% right lmao. Are we gonna act like Joel doesn’t delight in flopping? Dude loves it.
Joel is definitely gonna reach out and say he didn’t take the flopping comments personally and ask him if he really blames him since refs reward it often. And JB will push his glasses up and say he begrudgingly agrees and just ignore it. Except for really bad ones. Then JB gonna be looking at Joel with those “you thought that was slick huh” eyes.
Lebron too🙊🙊🙊
This could go two ways.
Goat of familial relations
Nowadays Scotty is on the Grizzlies and the other guy has been indicted on federal gambling charges. Frankly I’d say its not clear who is in the worse situation.
Lmao wait what I didn’t know this. Who was it
Malik Beasley (before incarceration)
And his dad teamed with Dennis Rodman after publicly questioning if he was right in the head.
ARGUE WIT CHA GRAMA
Of all players, I don’t think Embiid will care lmao.
Joel used to beef with Drummond and they hashed it out the moment Dre showed up to the weight room after he signed.
And that was constant chirping on court for years too.
I’m pretty sure Jo’s used to the flopping criticism at this point, they’ll be fine.
Ppl don’t understand just how abrasive Joel used to be to Drummond lol this is easily smth that can be swept under the rug
drummond vs early embiid was so hilarious because drum would try to 1v1 him with the same moves or get in his head and literally none of it worked. Then embiid would troll and it would get even worse. If they cool anyone can be cool
Don’t forget the beef with KAT, though in fairness to Embiid, he instantly-dropped it after KAT’s familial tragedy (Rest in Peace).
That felt like too serious a resolution + they weren’t teammates. But Embiid is a good dude, I trust he won’t be this petty to a teammate.
I used to be a Draymond guy but he really did take things way too far. Bro really does need some help.
Wow, makes Draymond even more of an absolute piece of shit for calling KAT out for attending a funeral and never apologizing
Embiid is a troll, not an asshole.
And he also had a fair share of personal drama to deal with, unfortunately. I think most of the players are pretty empathetic to each other and fierce rivalry is just on the court
Be funnier if JB learns to flop from the master
It’s probably pretty easy to forgive someone who says you are one of the greatest to ever play.
who knows how to upload that pic? cuz Jo was not happy to see that man 😂
Both like to troll online and know the game. I doubt it’s a real issue lol.
Embiid is too unserious to actually get mad at this, they will both laugh at this
And JB literally called him one of the best basketball players ever lol, like this is a nothing burger if I’ve ever seen one
Can we retire that phrase, it belongs to Trump voters in his first term and cable news talking heads…let’s let ‘em have it
It’s mine, yours, ours. Handing over language isn’t a winning ideological strategy
Ah sorry I thought everyone agreed it was also just a stupid phrase
Figured GOP ppl were dumb and boorish and liberals were using it ironically

Kinda cursed because he looks like Smart
will he dye his hair green?
New Celtics Shaq has arrived baby
No OT tonight
That has to be the worst jersey he put on
Why?
This don’t look right
my brain says that this trade is incredible my heart says that i hate jaylen brown with the power of a thousand suns
Stop being a weirdo team got a good player no reason to hate him
im glad we got a good player but its gonna take a lot of sixers fans a while to come around to this guy lol
I dunno. I think we can flip the switch. I’m not seeing a lot of upset Sixers fans.
I’m a sixers fan lol I’m hyped he’s coming here. Yeah he’s beaten us plenty but not like we had a real chance at winning lol. Now I feel like they actually do especially if VJ takes a leap and Embiid can actually give us a healthyish playoff run
i don’t disagree with you at all that its a good trade, im just saying the shock of switching to rooting for this guy is gonna be very bizarre
It was weird seeing Brett Favre play for my Vikings but it was so so sweet watching him turn up against his old team. JB got the biggest chip on his shoulder so I know he’s going to turn up against the Celtics. You can at least enjoy that.
Totally feel you man. The mental gymnastics I had to perform to feel good about the Cavs picking up Harden was crazy
If I can do it for Lenny Dykstra and Billy Wagner, I can sure as hell do it for Jaylen Brown.
I hate the Celtics but I never really hated their players. Except Horford. Fuck that guy (only because of the fault of the Sixers though not him personally)
Praying the 76ers somehow win a chip because it would be funny
I need this to happen
I like jokes. I like to laugh
Then we can say they traded the 2 times FMVP
Hahah hahaha let’s laugh together
JB flops too.
He spent the entire season talking about refs and flopping and his game only got worse for it in the playoffs where he kept trying to draw fouls and reacting badly to non-calls
He’s honestly so good, but I feel like the whole media and streaming stuff distracted him a bit this season without him realizing it. I think it might have tanked his value quite a bit too, like, teams might see him as controversial or complicated to deal with
Seems like valid points. Not really a hateful statement and I’m sure Embiid agrees
The most annoying part of his whole sentiment is the hypocrisy and irony. He flops as much as he can himself.
my flopping ethical Cameroon prince
3-1
Celtic fans already making AI videos to ruin the Sixers chemistry wow
They’re quick too 😫
Tame.
especially considering he pre-empts it by calling him one of the greatest players to play basketball lol
And I’m sure Joel knows it like he said lmfaoo
This how I know a lot of y’all are not here for basketball. 76ers future just got brighter and this is the reaction? Who the hell cares? He literally compliments him in the process of calling him out on something basically everyone has (and does).
76ers gunna cook Celtics so hard this year. Just watch.
Brown about to go crazy! Maxey and Brown together. It’s going to be fun
I mean he said he’s a good player
WELCOME TO PHILLY MY FLOPPING KING
I’m so ready for this chemistry
He’ll tell him to his face when he gets to Philly.
Nothing wrong here.
I’ve always thought Jaylen Brown makes natural movements with his elbow prior to shooting.
He does call him one of the greatest players ever though. It’s quite the qualifying statement.
saying fuck your mother is an insult, not pointing out something that is true
Celt’s JB to implode the sixers from within, and y’all can’t tell me otherwise
They belong together
If ya can’t beat em, flop with em
still true
He’s not wrong
This is light and overblown. The white boys on reddit are having a field day with these JB clips lol
I mean Joel knows it too
If you know Jojo then you know he agrees with this take 😂 he just wont agree publicly lol. He knows he be trolling and flopping lol
Burning bridges before he even joins Philly!
I think Brown hate the Cs right now, so he will fit right in
If I made the money these guys do nothing would ever be that deep to me I promise you
Draymond Green slapped the shit out of Jordan Poole and they were teammates, I think Joel will be fine lol
Sure… then what happened between Draymond and Poole? (I’m not disagreeing about Embiid and Brown, it’s just a weird comparison)
The matrix is making videos now smh
The Flopping Era
Now he’ll be the first guy to help pick embiid up after he flops. Life comes at you fast.
yesss start the narratives early yuji
He loves him now don’t worry
MVPiid is not just a flopper, he’s a RECKLESS flopper and a menace that must be stopped (when he’s available) before he hurts anyone else
Lmao
Man nba fandom is catty and petty.
Damn, JB just quit on Philly, where’s his next destination gonna be ya think?
This clip is from months ago
eNeRgY
Flopping is the reason for his injuries. A big man like him falling down 15 times per game cant be good for health.
You’ve got a medical degree? Or you’re just saying stupid shit? He was injured before he ever got to the NBA
brown face turn now???
This is the “soap opera for men” content I crave.
Embiid isn’t in a position to be mad anymore with his heart status. Also, he knows JB is telling the complete truth lol.
[deleted]
Brother this is not a Jaden Ivey situation 😂
I’d be more scared of a Kyrie Irving situation than a Jaden Ivey situation.
I mean, its borderline worse, hes not unhinged enough or a mid tier enough of a player to be hard dropped. hes just enough of an unprofessional annoyance to warrant taking on one of the worst contracts in the NBA to avoid dealing with him, and getting off his contract.
OH THE DRAAAAMMMAAAAAAAAA 🔥🔥🔥🔥☄️
more JB drama posts incoming
Dawg, Joel Embiid has like 2 1⁄2 games left in him. He’s gonna be playing with Ariel Hukporti and Bona.
lol fr
Might as well save Embiid until April
He the new Kyrie. A real malcontent. Burning bridges that haven’t even been built yet.
I’d be more concerned with JB and Maxey butting heads on who’s the #1 option/closer if I’m a Sixers fan since it’s obvious JB wanted his own team where he’s the undisputed #1.
Locker room cancer
He’s not wrong. That’s why I can’t stand watching him, SGA and Harden play.
This is why when Kenny Atkinson said that stupid shit, all the analytic boys were quiet in here because deep down that’s them in coach form. This stupid ass analytic nonsense. All the people who like this trade are the same people who say “the square root of usage rate is this and if we do this it’ll transcend the objective measurements”
buddy this is a thread about the brown/embiid beef
This is about the trade and people who are defending it
uhhh relevance?
People defending this trade by using “usage rate”
are those people in the room with us right now?
