The announcers are so funny. “He got hit in a place that we don’t speak of”, just say groin lol.
“He just got his cock obliterated”
“His penis just got posterized!
His nards are shards
“He just turned Cade’s grapes into wine”
“Wow, he got him right in the fuckin penis”
Lmao, idk why but this one got me
Cunningham (Penis) will miss the next game.
That would be an all time injury report, holy shit, lol.
BANG
Real cockknocker there
Cade could be heard yelling “Ow, my fucking Vas Deferens “
“He got kicked in his penis/testicle region”
Gotta stay family-friendly. Just, uh, cover your kids’ eyes and ears during all of the gambling talk.
Just say cock and balls
Or even just say fat thumpin hog. He got kicked in his fat thumpin hog
Do it for your mama
Normalize broadcasters saying “penis”.
The Steve Harvey school of commentating
“He got his dong tapped.”
Type of guy that still gets cooties when he talks to girls
My friend if you think cooties stopped being real just cause you stopped doing the circle circle dot dot
Kicked right in the reproductive system
Where is Chris Wittyngham when you need him.
They’re professional yappers for a reason
“He got hit in the knee. Well, maybe the wee knee”

LeHeard Nothing but Great Things
“Looks like his jingles got jangled on that play, Doris”
actually groin is not even the correct term
Well then that would make it them speaking of a place that they don’t speak of.
Nut kick give and go is unstoppable.
Give and gonads
The cackled i cacked
Fucking hilarious
I used to play like Embiid
lol
Dillon Brooks did the same thing and got ejected for it!
Dillon Brooks forgot to call “immunity”
Dillon just forgot to be teammates with Lebron lol
Bro will be blaming his wife’s cheating on LeBron one of these days
The Draymond special
I was expecting this to be on a bang bang play at the rim or something but Embiid doesn’t even try to make it look like his shooting motion. He just straight up nut kicks Cade.
Tbf he didn’t shoot, he went up and leant back for a fadeaway, then last sec leant forward and down for the pass over cade. The leg comes up slightly to do it quick like a tuck for a front flip
It’s such a good bit to try to defend this
Most of his fadeaways look like this.
That’s great. But that’s not a fadeaway
Yeah, he bailed out of it. It was going to be.
Yeah, cuz he’s always trying to kick people in the nuts. Gets about 1 a game.
This is just not true.
Watch the play again from the zoomed out angle at normal speed. It’s hilarious. It’s the most plainly unnatural shooting motion you could imagine, and it’s plainly just like a quick jerky scissor kick. It’s like something you’d see in a skit. To try to argue that it’s something else is really funny, as well.
“He doesn’t kick people in the nuts all the time, you’re just imagining things.” Oh! Cool!
Fly nut kick
The replay afterwards from the midcourt angle was ridiculous. He fully kicked out with intent, Doris talking about it being accidental on some bullshit.
I hate that I used to like Doris for yeeeears.
She has become an absolute clown
Doris kind of reflects the state of the nba…
She’s overall quite good at her job, but has become insufferable celebrating the way the game has changed.
You’ve hit the nail on the head, and the same can be said for most of the studio commentators and others who cover the NBA on ESPN as well.
Absolutely. They’re all guilty of following whatever brain dead, obvious narratives they think make the league look more enjoyable, but Doris might just have the worst takes than them all.
She’s like, “How could the most performative, dirty player in the league POSSIBLY have meant to kick him directly in the nuts? This guy’s an MVP for Christ’s sake!!”
She just spends the whole time glazing Lebron and giving out the worst takes. Absolutely hate her as a commentator and has nothing to do with who she is but all to do with how ass her commentary is.
Genuinely she has never been all that good at her job
Daring today arent we?
Doris is the fucking worst
Still would tho
Reading cunt always feels more dramatic than hearing it said, in my American opinion.
That being said I’ve never seen an announcer ride players meat better than her, so it’s a fitting word to use.
Dillon Brooks got a flagrant for that
Flagrant 2 and ejected mind you.
Pretty sure draymond did too
So did Wade
Even if it was an accident Joel got size 17 feet that man needs to apologize no matter what.
Shit struck the entire undercarriage that was nasty.
Watch it again and pretend there’s no defender there. It would look outrageous, like a scissor kick.
hes a 7 footer that flails around a lot, youre insane if you think he tried to intentionally kick him in the nads
Doris is absolutely in love with Embiid. It’s been going on for years
shes legit the only one, its why i love her
“With intent” on a bang bang play is a wild homer take
I like Embiid and the Sixers but not even the greatest homerism should allow you to believe that was incidental.
It’s not baseball. It’s a physical sport and sometimes these things just happen, especially with physical defense.
The constant apologizing for Embiid’sDirty play style is my biggest nba pet peeve. They just pretend that 3 or 4 times a game he flails at someone and accidentally hits them. They also pretend that all the fouls he draws are from getting wrapped up a-la Shaq.
He’s ended careers falling on ppl’s legs. Dude is reckless at the very least.
Embiid really is an all time dirty player and, when combined with the flopping and whining, an all time bitch.
During the 2024 Olympics I explained how Embiid ended up playing for Team USA to my wife (who doesn’t watch basketball at all) and she watched him for 5 minutes against Serbia and said “eww this guy is a jerk, we shouldn’t have let him play for us”
The only consolation is that the reliance on flopping has kept him from winning in the playoffs. People always cite the injuries, but he usually still plays. Just in the biggest moments he tries to foul bait, because that’s what he’s used to, but refs reward that stuff less in big moments. In 2024 he had a layup over a guard to tie the game with a minute left against the Knicks. Instead of dunking it, he lunged both arms at the guard to try to draw a foul. The other guy dodged and the refs didn’t bite. Turnover, game over
It’s a clear flagrant 2
He literally did this twice during the Knicks series a few years ago. But now this sub is just shit on the Knicks for playing them twice.
No wins vs sixers?
I mean they have a fucking super team lol
They better be winning games
Embiid has done that intentionally before. On Mitch maybe? I’m sure others too.
Oh yeah totally random redditor…you know it was so intentional that Cade moved on from it and didn’t even come to fight about it…obviously everyone on the court thought it was SOOO intentional.
Relax bozo
Lol cry about it. Fade away and land on 1 foot as a 7 footer, your leg’s going out in front of you.
Why the fuck isn’t JB on the court fucking screaming
The guy you were talking to tried to sell me on the fact that threads with Draymond doing the same thing are full of humor, jokes and no one really attacks him. I sent him a link to a Draymond nut kick thread and he called me a bot and blocked me! You can lead a Sixers fan to water, but you can’t make them literate.
I’m frankly shocked there are 76ers fans who are intelligent enough to read in the first place.
This one seems able, but unwilling because the cognitive dissonance was overwhelming for him.
Because it wasn’t nearly as serious as the redditors are making it out to be.
“the player from MY team isn’t a dirty, whiny flopper! He only BARELY intentionally kicked him in the nuts!”
I thought Detroit fans were tougher than this. Yikes. Gg.
Yup, keep defending kicking guys in the nuts because they aren’t on your team, you are so cool and strong
By any means necessary. This is what LeBron meant when he said his teammates gotta do things that aren’t comfortable. Glad to see Embiid comfortable with Cade being uncomfortable.
Most Joel Embiid highlight ever
Needs him throwing himself onto the floor and taking out 1 teammate and 1 opposing player
While giving himself an injury that takes him out for the season
Embiid averages 30/11/4 against the Hornets. Just want that out there.
Natural process motion
All thats missing is the scratch and sniff
Jail Embiid
When he hasn’t taken himself out, he’s taking advantage of taking others out
Need this in 2k next year
This is a flagrant 1 minimum.
This sucks because if Cade immediately goes down on the floor, the play is likely stopped and reviewed. But because he toughed through it, he gives up 2 points.
Sadly this is why flopping exists
I hate to say it but Cade needs to sell these kinds of contacts. I know he’s an ethical hooper but those are his perks as a superstar.
Sigh, in this case dropping to the ground is not that bad and maybe even justifiable when kicked in the nuts by a 300 lbs+ man
Flagrant 2. 1 per testicle
You think he hit both?
Let a brother with size 17 feet kick ya in the nuts you gonna wake up in a different dimension. Of course he hit both.
Reminds me - on a random night out I saw a dude get lifted off the ground he was kneed in the nuts so hard. Passed out before he hit the ground.
can confirm, i was the other ball
Dylan Brooks just got a flagrant 2 for doing this
Cade is just too damn ethical to sell contact even when it’s real.
Natural kicking the defender in the balls motion.
Draymond flailed so Embiid could flop (into his teammates knees)
You could legit comment this on any Embiid post and farm upvotes
How does shit like this get upvoted. Truly asking
Because most of us think kicking someone in the nuts is a bad thing. You’re the odd exception.
Lots of Embiid haters in the nba subs
Brain dead youths
Cause funny
I’m sorry, I watched this video 3 times in a row and all I see is Javonte Green working his ass off.
LET’S GO BULLS!!!
Idiots on the broadcast called it accidental
Lmao because it was
What was the point of him kicking his leg out? Who kicks their leg out when shooting a 3 like that, unless they’re trying to draw a foul? In which case, he’s responsible for where his foot ends up. Players are too friendly now a days. If Embiid pulled the usual shit he does, in the 80’s or 90’s, there would be physical repercussions. That’s obviously the only way he’ll learn his lesson.
He literally does it all the time on his fadeaways. Nice novel.
It doesn’t matter. You’re responsible for where your leg ends up. There’s no good reason to put your leg out like that.
Sure………………………………………………………
Bang bang play but go off
You’re going to be so sad when this team imploded.
Clearly Cade needed to flop like a bitch aka like Embiid to get a flagrant called there
It probably still wouldn’t have worked.
Youre probably right but if you milk the injury, the refs are stupid enough to fall for it.
Its whats wrong with basketball tbh
Ausar didn’t not seem to enjoy bumping into LeBron
Kick and roll
This is why we need Beef Stew
Embiid taking ball movement too literally
Not a fan of flopping/overselling, but you get kicked in the groin I think it’s fair game to at minimum take a knee and stare daggers at the official until they blow the whistle.
Grab his dick and twist it!
Wrong sub
GIVE HIM THE OL DICK TWIST
Embid with that three stooges ass looking move
Always been a dirty player
Not in the beginning of his career, but for the majority, yeah.
