1. You said “you have to be Jokic”. You were about to say “you have to be Luka” and I’m glad you caught yourself. Luka has never showed up in shape and plays the laziest defense, hanging his teammates out to dry.

2. You can put Mitchell at 11 instead of Embiid 👍

3. 100% dude

4. It’s amazing how many of these things can be said about Jamal Murray as well.

5. As a huge fan of Embiid that article was disappointing. Maxey makes me a bigger fan by the day too.

6. Embiid stans working overtime on their mental gymnastics this afternoon.

7. He is doing it to get traded. The guy has no problem switching nationalities to win. How hard is it for him to get them to trade him??
   He has no soul or morals. He wants to win easy.

8. There are too many data points on this guy. Now we’re seeing a very long trend. This is a pretty good sample size. Embiid fans can make all the excuses they want. A read is a read.

9. Embiid has a worse work ethic than any superstar

10. Never forget Embiid literally begged for his MVP

11. Is it coincidence that the year the league says they're going to crack down on flopping he's complete trash?

12. To make matters worse, his attitide is the exact opposite of the region he plays in. They value high work ethic most of all

13. Jason we finally agree. Lol!

14. Exactly why JB has been able to instill a culture with the Knicks, dude is a consummate professional.

15. He’s 30 7 foot and no finesse and not motivated careeer over

16. Finally you had a good take on your show. On other times all you are doing is theoretical gymnastics with no sense.

17. I can now safely assume embid has absolutely nothing to do with klutch sports 😂😂😂😂😂

18. Been saying for years how OVERRATED Embiid is. And combine that with his terrible attitude you have an absolute muppet

19. lol but like… Luka?

20. I am ALL for this Embiid hate😂 and really it’s not even hate, we just expect accountability from him which is so sad to ask for from a former MVP

21. You know who would be more valuable than Paul George in keeping the Sixers afloat, if ugly, while Embiid loaf-manages himself through the regular season? JAMES HARDEN! He’s the ultimate floor-raising innings-eater that fades in the playoffs, but isn’t that when your supposed HOF MVP center is meant to step up?

22. Finally, honest criticism. Media hypocrites.

23. Couldn't agree more with this take.

24. Kobe was right. This league has become soft 💁‍♂️. Rip mamba

25. Never forget Harden won 2 games against Boston last year, but they blamed Harden for the post season when Embiid played worst

26. Memphis had every starter out there is no excuse

27. Ok Jason! Tell em why you mad son! 🤬 I agree 100%. I didn’t like the lamenting about the MVP. It’s so hollow for him.

28. Jokic 🐐

29. Joel likes the idea of winning but has no real desire to win and that comes from not being accountable for any part he plays in the Sixers not getting past the 2nd round

30. As an elder millennial, I must say it’s satisfying to see LeBron, Steph, and post-achilles Durant all look in infinitely better shape as they near 40yo than the marshmallow generation of Embiid, Luka, Zion, etc.

31. I am 39, back in college and wake up every morning ready to go. It's my job and it is a gift to be able to learn and improve my life. If I acted like Embiid, I would never succeed. Embiid is nothing but spoiled and immature at this point.

32. Joel has to be the most overrated player in the league, all he does is talk and duck Jokic.

33. Jason, shame on you for your opinion. It's stupid. You've completely made up the things you say. Joel Embiid didn't take PG to that broadcast. The story of how they both ended up on that broadcast is well-documented. You're bandwagoning a popular opinion and you're filling in the gaps with your imagination to justify your asinine opinion. I've lost respect for you both for censoring my previous comment and for formulating an opinion on the basis of made up information. 👀

34. I wonder if the sixers could do it all over again, would they draft him? Or sign and trade him for a healthy star.

35. This made me laugh a little… I drive NBA teams for my job, when I drove the 76ers the staff told me that Embiid was gonna be the last out of my bus, they told me just to chill, and not talk to him… true to their prediction he did exactly that, they seemed sick of it… I could see it in their body language…

36. Best basketball cover in the internet. Keep it up Jason <3

37. Hey Jason,
    Just saying, it’d be nice to hear you say the words “I was wrong” about the sixers, about the bucks, about the wolves, about the nuggets, and most importantly, about the warriors. Seriously the stuff you said about curry before the season was mad disrespect bro

38. I've never been sold on embiid, he's one of the most overrated players I've seen in my life. He's also the only player i can ever recall being such a baby about mvp

39. I told you. Emfroud isn't that. He means no title z no winning culture 🎉

40. Joel is just not that guy, he cant be placed in the jokic, luka, ant tier, he cant be a no1 on a championship team, i dont see it in him, no1s on a championship team have a look (U know what i mean) and i dont see it in him

41. Embiid has NEVER been a top player! Top players elevate their game in the playoffs and he has NEVER done that. The definition of overrated. He is a regular season player and I will argue it with anybody!!!!

42. I feel like Embiid is more quickly near of the end of carrer than coming back to his mvp level, his left knee is not able to sustain the weight, power or quickness needed in NBA, everynight, and mentaly does not show signs of will power to overcome it unless he already know it's over…

43. No way he almost said “be Luka”when talking about showing up to training camp in shape😂

44. Mailbag: Based on what you've shared about your current basketball philosophy, does it not make sense for the Lakers to play Quincy Olivari? He's a speed guard who can defend, is athletic (ran track his whole life) and is a shooter. He also is similar to Knecht in that his tenure in college has made him NBA-ready despite being a rookie. It seems a no-brainer to me.
