Which is the majority of players lol

Show your source.

ESPN’s 30 for 30 “Broke” showed how serious this problem is even for star players.

Yep. Fringe G Leaguers

So Paul Pierce

Mods pin this

Thank you. I’ll be taking that

yoink

How in the helll did you do this

Thank you for the new nbacj content

It’s looking good right now 🤝

Perfect. No notes.

It should be a picture of his knees

The Cam Ward quote “I’m not gonna lie we ass” applies here

True, but I’m also a hoarder of these sports quote graphics and I want to add to my collection

it’s pretty common to be used for self too lmao. yall needa go outside

It’s 2026 and it seems like the inability to read and understand context is getting worse.

Is this your first day on this sub lol. Hell just scroll down to see the idiots taking it at face value

Unfortunately, some people will need it. Especially coming from embiids mouth who a lot of people automatically hate everything he says/does

You overestimate us here at r/nba

My guy we’re literally a week removed from the last time reddit swore something was “obviously a joke” and then it wasn’t. Do you see our world right now? Half the shit in the US should read like jokes, but our world is just dumb. NBA partnered with Kalshi. Is that an onion headline? No, it’s real.

A player going broke is like a weekly headline, without more context why would we assume it’s a joke?

The tournament thing doesn’t start yet but games that count toward it have started this early.

😂 “im going broke i need some money” in this context isnt clear enough for you?

Yeah the article is strange. The author is who said the “jokes aside”, so I’m not exactly sure what the context was before the Embiid line. Is he quoting some other interview or something? Was this said on twitter and he’s just copy pasting? Did the author actually interview Nurse and Embiid? I’m unfamiliar with how writers for individual sports teams write, so I guess I’ll assume he asked them questions somehow, in person I guess?

his best line was about learning how to shoot by watching white dudes on YouTube

when DJT was elected the first time he tweeted that America was tanking, he’s a genius troll

at one point something really similar was on Ibaka’s wiki for a good amount of time

“I thought he was really well dressed”

Early career injured Embiid was the funniest player in the league lol. His twitter used to be great

Philadelphia local derby

ain’t that The Truth

Alimony is the biggest scam in history. The partner already gets half of everything in divorce.

He’s trying to say he is but the wife asked for forensic accounting. Which I guess he didn’t think of and just thought he could say he’s broke.

Buddy is gonna have to move to west linn he’s down so bad

yeah but the embiid version is the original

I used to eat like Jokic

Yea tbh is is the temu jokic version

They called him SlamHawk back in the day

He didn’t say he made the shots. Just made the moves 😂

its a copypasta

Love to see a guy let himself get clowned like this

Lmao being more likable than Dray is super difficult

just flops and falls onto other players injuring them

Thats an extremely low bar for poor behaviour and doesn’t make Embiid a saint for some of the stuff he’s done.

It’s a totally valid answer and their flair doesn’t change that. Dray being the biggest douche bag in the league doesn’t mean warriors fans can’t point out Embiid isn’t liked because he flops.

Your team had a rapist for like 2 decades. We still let lakers fans talk.

Huh? I never said Draymond wasn’t unlikeable, where are you getting that from? I didn’t even mention Draymond at all lol.

All I’m saying is although I don’t mind Embiid myself, I understand why others don’t like him.

I’m genuinely confused how you arrived at “puffing my chest out” or “defending Draymond” from that.

You and the idiot above you responding to a very reasonable post about why some people don’t care for Embiid with Draymond mentions. Y’all got that hate deep inside, lol.

Pot meet kettle lmfao

In this compilation you will see all of those examples + a few other egregious moves. My favorite is the first clip where he legit tackles Russ like a linebacker.

The only thing missing is punching a teammate, which is a positive I guess.

what about flopping like a fish and diving to other players legs?

This is literally a quick google search away brother.

he’s certainly not worse than draymond that’s hard to do but he has quite the dirty compilation

I believe their point is that Brunson is just as bad of a flopper as Embiid, so it’s obviously for a different reason.

Top 3 floppers are Shai, Deni, and Luka tbh

The stats show it too

Also, Kat and Brunson literally dive to the ground flopping. Just tonight Brunson tripped himself and somehow turned it into him getting pushed over. Dude just about broke his own back trying to make it look like he got pushed backwards while tripping over his own foot moving left. It was embarrassing. Last game Kat fell back on a wide open 3 that MAXEY jumped to extremely late, never touched Kat, and then Kat stuck his leg out to trip Maxey, then tried calling for a foul on Maxey. Thank god the refs weren’t playing stupid on that if I remember correctly, and they actually called the foul on Kat for sticking his leg out flagrantly trying to trip Maxey.

Embiid’s tame compared to what I’ve been seeing just this year…

mitchell robinson never became injured as a result of embiid. all knicks fans deploy that play and dishonestly rely on everyone else to connect the dots.

so what? embiid didnt injure robinson. i never think about mikal bridges and he ran shoulder first into embiid three weeks post appendectomy. everyone lived.

The reason he falls is because it takes the impact off his lower body vs awkwardly catching himself and stressing his bones and ligaments. It’s pretty well documented and he’s been very open about it for almost a decade now

true, and once upon a time was on of the most fun players in the modern era to watch until he figured out that refs are willing to send him to the line 30+ times

“”I’m a competitor. I love competing. This is the playoffs, the highest level. I’m cool with the talking, I just don’t want those dirty plays. I don’t like that. Keep it basketball… At the end of the day, it’s all fake toughness”

Siakam quote from a 10 second search. There’s more.

The dog whistle is crazy here

He’s from Cameroon, not France. Wrong country and continent

English is not his first language…you’re criticizing someone for that? Really? Let’s see you get dropped in a random country and learn their language

Pretending you care about him “abandoning his home country” just to get the country wrong and also say he speaks in “slow motion”. Elite Reddit pandering

Yes, the Cameroonian native who’s been in the US since 2014 is a French national.

What the fuck are you talking about? Do you think Joel Embiid is from France?

home country of what now

He has never lived in france you nerd

Tbh that’s why I feel the way I do about my nana

Not really. True Frenchman doesn’t get hurt. No integrity embiid abandons France and constantly gets hurt. Your character shows even through your body

It’s sports. The fact that we care at all is bizarre and irrational lol.
