Jaylen Brown: “I told VJ, LeBron, Max, and Embiid, ‘We win the championship, everybody’s going skydiving.’ Bron texted me back and said, ‘Boy, hell naw.’”

r/sixers this is our guy, flair him up
I knew it, I always thought that was a requirement to be a part of the sub
I mean if the requirement was to live in Philly, they wouldn’t have a lot of fans would they?
(ignore flair)
whats the joke here
That phila folk (felladelphians? philadelfans?) hate philly I guess
Might wanna get back in the lab on the jokes mate
yeah I thought it was gonna be like “if it’s the tattoo or live in Philly, I’ll take the tattoo” which isn’t even that great but alright I get what you’re going for. this joke I’m struggling to make any sense of
To scale
LMAO
A tattoo of Embiid’s hand on my ass, to scale and anatomically accurate.
How’s that ass feel?
clap clap clap
With ‘Trust the Process’ as text for added effect
RemindMe! July 2027
On your ass? Coward. Tattoo him in your ass
I’ve seen that video. It was an octopus tattoo…but it was still interesting.
Elite ball knowledge.
Great news, you won’t have to get an Embiid tattoo on your ass
God damnit. Now I’m rooting for the 76ers
It needs to be in this format on your cheeks
(J)*(el Embiid)
RemindMe! 10 months
Remindme! 10 months
You didn’t capitalize OR put “Embiid” in quotes, so I’m ASSuming you mean to get a portrait of the dude tattooed on your ass cheek. Or cheeks, up to you, really.
Saved
I’ll see you in 2027 buddy
Bookmarking this shit HAHAHAHAAHAH
Don’t believe you. We’re still waiting on that one OKC fan to get a sex change
Mods! Bamboozle = Banboozle
Boy, hell naw
Now I have a reason to cheer for the Sixers
RemindMe! July 1, 2027
Remindme! 309 days

face or the word?
i’ll fall to my knees if lebron gets his fifth
In a dennys
Game 7 in Denny’s?
LeGrand Slam
LeTriple Bypass
Not as entertaining as LeWaffle House
What the fuck is up Denny’s!!!
Harder than the eggs I ordered
I doubt they’ll be handing him le fifth in a Denny’s
What the fuck is up Denny’s
A Denny’s in a Walmart
Denny avdija?
He would be the only player in history to win with 4, and it would be North (Cleveland), South (Miami), East (Philadelphia) and West (Los Angeles)
Never won in the center of the country smh, he needs to go play for Nebraska
The midpoint of these 4 cities is right around Jackson, TN. LeBron said he didn’t want to go to Memphis but when they move to Nashville after their lease at FedEx Forum is up in 2029, he’ll team up with Cameron Boozer and Keyonte George and win his 6th in 2031 at 46 years old as the oldest player in history
… To win FMVP
He has eligibility, right? Imagine lol
LeEducation
That would be a hell of a way to introduce the Omaha Trailblazers to the NBA
He’s always wanted to live in Manhattan.
Manhattan Kansas it is!
LeBron conquers the four kingdoms #KingJames
LeClashofKingdoms
you’re saying he’s the Avatar?
Then, everything changed when the LeFire Nation attacked
LeBron is totally an earthbender.
Do you think he’s done enough to earn himself a place in the basketball hall of fame?
Ending my day with the king inside me!🍷
Man if he gets his fifth for a 4th franchise I say he go to Washington and win one there. That will end goat debate
to pleasure the king?
You couldn’t pay me enough to jump out of a plane with a man the size of Joel strapped to my back.
Yeah seriously, are big mofuckas like him even allowed to skydive? He’s 7’ 300 god damn!!!
Dude would probably need 2 parachutes
You ever seen the Army drop a tank out of a C-130? I picture something like that.
When did they drop Frank the Tank?!
This Mets season is enraging enough for Frank to end the Iran War in one deployment
I saw a documentary about dropping an elephant named Dumbo I believe
And then 2 knee surgeries
On each knee.
The one I went to 5 years ago had a weight limit of 230. I’m guessing some might allow 250ish but 300+ is wild
If Joel panics it’s over 😂. And you know JB will be streaming it with neon strapped to his back
Yea I think 250 is usually the absolute max of the cap. There is zero chance a guy like Embiid would be able to get insurance for that.
Wouldn’t that just be an engineering problem? As in, he could probably do it in a custom one? Either way, his knees would explode on impact so awful decision no matter the weight limit.
the thing is you cant jump on your own without certs, recreationally. i dont think anyone wants a 300lb man strap to their back. also the planes, that usually go up aren’t really made for a 7’+ person.
i guess they have enough money to go to another country, rent a military cargo plane, and use the auto deploy shute, if they really wanted to do it. but yea embids joints may explode on landing
I’m 6’1 240 and you’re breaking my heart with this news
At 6’1” you could easily get within the 230 limit if that was a serious goal of yours (regardless if that 240 is due to fat or muscle)
You might be able to make the cut if you do it butt naked!
His knees would EXPLODE on landing. He’s so tall and heavy that the guide will probably explode on impact too.
The G force would be nuts
It would be precisely 1G.
I was never any good at science
How many atmospheres can the ship withstand?
Well, it’s a spaceship, so I’d say anywhere between zero and one.
The total speed caps our but he gets there faster than others right? (Trying to see if I still remember this correctly)
It’s actually pretty complicated to give a real answer, they’re under the same acceleration from gravity but terminal velocity depends on drag, and that’s where it gets complicated, because fluid dynamics and drag are the kind of thing that’s so complicated you could make it the focus of your PhD.
Really on this scale it’s probably a very miniscule difference and he would probably fall at almost the exact same speed and acceleration as anyone else.
I understood a few of these words thanks!
Youre under more g force for a split second while pulling the parachute, correct?
When I skydived, the limit is 225 and after that, there is a premium you pay. I’m 250 and the guy who was jumping with me was half my size. He did a great job, so it’s all in technique and being a professional
Joel would be strapped to your front unless he’s done a lot of skydiving. You wouldn’t see shit.
I’m now picturing Joel with the tandem diver strapped to his back, legs dangling a foot off the ground.
Like a toddler in a child carrier
My old man is ~265 and he couldn’t find someone willing to tandem him. They kept insisting he needed to be ~250 max.
Eventually after he struggled to lose weight they agreed and found an instructor who would take him at 265.
Embiid’s knees alone are 265
As not a skydiver and only high school physics as my background, I imagine they all reach terminal velocity in the air so it’s all the same for the parachute.
But because of their different mass and cross sectional surface area that terminal velocity is different and so the load on the parachute is different.
But I imagine parachutes are over engineered for safety reasons that would be ok for even the largest of humans right?
Oh yeah, I’m sure they’re engineered with a pretty significant safety margin.
Force equals mass times acceleration my guy. If two skydivers are traveling at the same speed (terminal velocity), the heavier one will still need more stopping force to slow down
Operation Dumbo Drop
Classic movie
There’s a training video for someone his size: Operation Dumbo Drop
Ready for Titanfall
For Lebron’s safety, I now say we as a league do everything in our power to prevent the Sixers from winning a championship. THINK OF LEBRON’S FEAR OF HEIGHTS FOLKS!!!
Push the kawhi trade through and give us curry
Isn’t he planning on riding a helicopter every other day this upcoming season?
Sssh 🤫Stop ruining our plan to prevent the Sixers from winning a title!
No. Those are rumors that were never once confirmed by LeBron, even if he is jj reddick lived in BROOKLYN while playing for Philadelphia.
WE got you👍

Kobe fans would be so pissed

All-time Onion headline
Mamba mentality.
I was gonna say something really mean and sarcastic in response, then I realized you’re from Detroit and I couldnt think of anything worse than that
You have to share some of that salt, we could use it for our roads
I’ve seen those potholes, you don’t need more salt.
My buddy who is 6’4 went tandem jumping. Dude on his back was not big enough and they ended up with a hard landing with my buddy basically landing first with dude on his back instead of dude landing safely.
Fucked up his back really bad.
I was lucky enough to go to a place that offered static line jumping solo. I just don’t think I’d even enjoy the experience with some dude attached to me.
But I also wouldn’t risk it if I was that tall and they didn’t have someone bigger than me.
I’m 6’5”/220ish and I have been skydiving twice, the first time, the instructor they paired me with was about 5’4” and when it came to the landing he was just like “Okay I need you to absolutely get your long ass legs all the way out of the way” and I had to lift my legs up and hold them in almost like a gymnastics pose while bro landed. Turned out fine but it was definitely a but weird they didn’t pair me with an instructor closer to my size
My buddy was maybe 20-30 lbs heavier at the time and in his mid 40s. Don’t think he had the mobility to tuck as much as they needed him to.
He lost weight and started doing yoga once he recovered.
Cool story but why arent you in the league?
Fr what a bum
LeBillionaire skydiving insurance would be more than his entire season salary.
Reminds me of along came Polly, the Australian guy.
Oh yeah if Embiid did this his back would be permanently fucked
I’m 6’4” and went for my 18th birthday. Definitely a lot lighter than I am today, but had no issues. Just as the other poster said, when we landed the instructor just had me lift my legs as high as I could so he would land first. Landing was a little hard for him, but I was fine. Also, you are free falling for almost 60 seconds. Completely different experience than static line jumping and I can promise you that you have zero idea there is a guy strapped to your back falling that fast for that long.
Hell Nawl can’t do dis
Send da parachute
Abort da mission
They actually can’t contractually. NBA contracts have clauses that prohibit dangerous or risky extreme sports like mountain climbing and skydiving and if there’s an incident because you violate it then you won’t get your guaranteed $$$.
Right? I was thinking Jaylen read your damn contract. Pretty sure any type of extreme sports is prohibited, including skiing.
Make it to the ECF first
Who are you to talk? Your franchise has NEVER made it to the ECF even one time. Maybe sit this one out.
Neither has your franchise. Last time you made it to the Finals in the East it was the Eastern Division Finals (in 1962).
That just means Warriors have been to the eastern conference finals more than Embiid.
Ik they got no ECF berths, Its still pretty crazy the thunder have made the WCF 6 out of the 18 seasons they’ve existed
Crazy that people are looking at this team like KD just joined the 73 win Warriors.
By people, do you mean just KD?
Oh! Blocked by James! LeBron James with the rejection!
I just know based on the bizarre history of the Process era that if this happened, they won, and then went skydiving, the entire team would die.
The pilot? Ben Simmons.
he gets scared driving mid air, throw the yoke at Bron, and jumps without the parachute
The vibes are insane right now.
“Not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven…”
If they win the title, I’ll tattoo the jersey numbers of the starting 5 on my ass
I find it interesting that they clearly have a group chat for the stars outside of the team’s group chat. I really hope they are spending time with other teammates to develop chemistry too.
No one is beating the teams currently at the top of the league without excellent team chemistry, and that aspect is obviously something those teams put direct effort into developing.
Lmao let the sixers fan fic extravaganza begin.
It sounded more like he texted them individually and Bron responded to him.
I think LeBron is such a great floor raiser because he does get the chemistry right on almost any squad that could win it all. He goes into diva mode when he sees his chances to compete slip away, but a squad that gives him any hope (Lakers tenure except for the Westbrook year and the ring, 2018 Cavs, 2007 Cavs. Some of those were really lackluster but Bron never gave up regardless) will get the best leader version of him. Establishing individual handshakes, pre game rituals, going 100% at practice, talking to everybody, developing young players, directing veterans, team dinners, he’s doing it all frankly and these are just things that can easily be proven via countless reports and insider knowledge. There’s probably a lot more on top given how past teammates speak about him.
Sixers aren’t even making the ecf lmao
I mean, if Embiid’s knees hold up, they are… which, granted, is a big “if”.
Having a 4 man group of VJ, Maxey, Brown, Lebron def could carry them to a ECF WITHOUT Embiid
They’re gonna need him if they want to beat the Knicks or win a ring tho
LeBron rather take the boys to Merion or Rolling Green Golf Club instead
LeCouldn’tPayMeToJumpOutOfAPlane
They have disaster clauses in their contracts prohibiting this exact thing
Jinxed it. RIP
Something tells me this team is going to have “internal isssues” mid season
I literally think LeBron is legally not aloud to go skydiving or anything with a certain percentage of death risk
Bro these guys celebrating a championship and I don’t even think they’re a lock for home court advantage in the first round of the East
Breaks my heart seeing him wear that jersey casually on the pod
When you got family those small risks matter
Because of this I can see them winning and then everybody is out for next season because of this
Embiid missing the entire 27-28 season due to a skydiving accident after winning a chip would be very funny ngl
wonder if he’s legally allowed to sky dive. feel like he has some insane insurance policy on his body
JB forgot Lebron is the most unc player in the NBA right now hahaha
I might just be old but I hate seeing these clips of livestreams
LeScared
This reminds me of that tragedy
Honestly, I fully expect Philly to be a bit of a mess chemistry wise this year. I feel like JB grates on a locker room, we all know the stressors associated with Embiid’s availability, and I don’t see LeBron enjoying any of that at all. Add to that that Nurse is not the coach to help smooth over tensions and I wouldn’t be surprised to see a multitude of “what went wrong in Philly” articles come the all star break.
If I’m worth a billion I ain’t going skydiving when I’m just about to retire either….
JB in a sixers jersey gives me visceral disgust
“I’m getting to old for this LeShit.”
Holy crap, how many Jaylen Brown livestream videos are you people going to post here?
No wonder this sub fell off.
ESPN: Lebron James does not want to win a title with the 76ers
They are gonna suck
Skydive or no championship, you pick Bron.
He has no problem with helicopters though
This is the type of thing you say when you don’t got no wife or kids. LeBron has stuff to lose. Jaylen doesn’t
then hops in his helicopter every day to practice
Skydiving is scary but it isn’t really dangerous. Unless that person knows their fear is so strong they’d cause a problem.
Is this mf here? Why is there so much Jaylen brown in my feed lately
Because he’s LeBron teammate now so this LeBron sub is gonna spam him and all the rest of them
I could have swore JB was dominating NBA headlines before LBJ signed but what do I know.
This is either going to be the greatest team assembled or a complete disaster. I just can’t picture anything other than that
Legit question, is there an NBA sub that isnt 90% podcast clips? I know it’s the off-season but idgaf about these podcast clips
Acting like they already won. They never learn do they
J. Brown gonna get measles and ringworm.
we live in such a strange time man. seeing pro athletes stream is wild. started with a few nerds on justin tv and now we here.
Isn’t it in their contracts they aren’t allowed to do dangerous activities like that?
If they die, do the rules really matter?
“Boy, hell naw we ain’t winning the championship”
Im sure theres stuff in their contracts that specifically forbids that type of stuff. Dont think theyre even allowed to ride motorcycles.
For everyone that claimed that this was a lakers sub and not a LeBron Stan sub, that debate has been firmly settled in the past week
Jordan would’ve skydived without a parachute because he was a cold-blooded killer.
Skip, probably.
This thread is hilarious
