I see no issue with a player stepping up and speaking. The media is making it more than it needs to be. Yes, Embiid does need to get his crap together.
if u notice this is literally how young kobe shaq was. kobe started to get really really good and started pressing shaq about work ethic. although kobe shaq are wayyy better lmao
The issue with Embiid's injuries is that some of it is quite possibly due to the other issues we always discuss. Obviously, I was never a pro-athlete, but I was in the military in combat arms and then fought amateur MMA for a few years. To maintain yourself at that high level of fitness takes constant and careful work. It's this delicate balancing act of exercising the right way (not too hard, but not too little) and eating right (getting the right nutrients, vitamins, minerals, etc) to keep your body at that high level. When you're younger, you can get away with cheating a lot more. As you get towards 30, your body doesn't compensate as well. If you don't already have those disciplined habits, you're going to struggle in a highly demanding, physical job. Even if you do have good habits, you're going to get hurt eventually and recovery is hard (look at all the ex-grunts and operators that have back/knee/shoulder problems).
"Now, all these years later" ... due, it's 2 years. You're making it sound as if Embiid took "Maxey" under his wing 30 years ago, lol. Drama for drama's sake.
The annual "injury" list with *guaranteed* salaries: Ben Simmons - Total Contract: $197M (5 years) Kevin Durant - Total Contract: $194.2M (4 years) Paul George - Total Contract: $176M (4 years) Bradley Beal - Total Contract: $251M (5 years) Joel Embiid - Total Contract: $210M (4 years) Kawhi Leonard - Total Contract: $153M (3 years) Zion Williamson - Total Contract: $197M (5 years) Deandre Ayton - Total Contract: $132M (4 years) So why are they always "injured"? It's because they have absolutely no motivation to be in shape, to work hard, or to play thru soreness. They got their money, and now they're relaxing. The motivation to be the best is gone. End of story.
You are both insane. Nick Offense mind is borderline genius. Embiid selfish and always out of shape. I still don't know why to get Paul George. He also injury issues.

He's also going to have a lawsuit on his hands after he pushed that reporter. If she hires a good attorney, she'll get 10% of his salary. The 76ers were in perfect to draft Dalton Knecht and didn't take him, or they could have drafted Kyle Filipowski to replace Embiid, who has nothing but legal problems ahead of him.
Stephen A calls Kawhi out, says he shouldn't play in the Olympics and that his focus should be on the people that pay him. Meanwhile, Embiid goes to the Olympics, gets his bag and then sits out but Stephen A justifies his record of injuries and conviniently paints the picture of Embiid being the best big man in the league "when fit". He continues to compare Embiid to Jokić and the other greats of the past. Just say you won't criticize those who give you an interview and those who are good to you. Btw i love you Stephen A but as a paying customer, we are also allowed to critique you right?

Only MVP never(will never) to go to the Conference Finals🤣🤣
DRose did he go to Conference Finals
@@CircumNetyea in 2011. Got beat by the Heat in five
@@Tampa81333 Patience with Embiid is something I need for my life to those you depend on me #TrustTheProcess
@@CircumNet are u 12?
He will make the conference. Stop hating !!!
I see no issue with a player stepping up and speaking. The media is making it more than it needs to be. Yes, Embiid does need to get his crap together.
Stephen A the source is you 😂😂
SAS talked the longest but added the least lol 😂
Joel Embid kinda fraudulent ever since he got his money… Kobe would never do this he always showed up until he couldn’t.
if u notice this is literally how young kobe shaq was. kobe started to get really really good and started pressing shaq about work ethic. although kobe shaq are wayyy better lmao
@@psychii678 Kobe and Shaq had success. Shaq had a reason to rethink his work ethic at least, Embiid has never been past the second round.
The issue with Embiid's injuries is that some of it is quite possibly due to the other issues we always discuss. Obviously, I was never a pro-athlete, but I was in the military in combat arms and then fought amateur MMA for a few years. To maintain yourself at that high level of fitness takes constant and careful work. It's this delicate balancing act of exercising the right way (not too hard, but not too little) and eating right (getting the right nutrients, vitamins, minerals, etc) to keep your body at that high level. When you're younger, you can get away with cheating a lot more. As you get towards 30, your body doesn't compensate as well. If you don't already have those disciplined habits, you're going to struggle in a highly demanding, physical job. Even if you do have good habits, you're going to get hurt eventually and recovery is hard (look at all the ex-grunts and operators that have back/knee/shoulder problems).
Time for Philly to look upon Nick Nurse. This should really be concerning. Time is ticking and Nurse looks like the first one to be out.
Money reveals true character. NBA needs to start paying this dude for what they do and not what they ought to do
"Now, all these years later" ... due, it's 2 years. You're making it sound as if Embiid took "Maxey" under his wing 30 years ago, lol. Drama for drama's sake.
The annual "injury" list with *guaranteed* salaries:
Ben Simmons - Total Contract: $197M (5 years)
Kevin Durant - Total Contract: $194.2M (4 years)
Paul George - Total Contract: $176M (4 years)
Bradley Beal - Total Contract: $251M (5 years)
Joel Embiid - Total Contract: $210M (4 years)
Kawhi Leonard - Total Contract: $153M (3 years)
Zion Williamson - Total Contract: $197M (5 years)
Deandre Ayton - Total Contract: $132M (4 years)
So why are they always "injured"? It's because they have absolutely no motivation to be in shape, to work hard, or to play thru soreness. They got their money, and now they're relaxing. The motivation to be the best is gone.
End of story.
Why would you include Durant in that who lives basketball and literally came back from a torn acl when he easily could of retired
Nick Nurse isn't getting enough blame either. The team performed better with Doc and Brett Brown. Besides one year with Kawhi, he's a trash coach.
Nurse is overrated. That Toronto team was stacked. Anyone could of coached that team to a championship.
You are both insane. Nick Offense mind is borderline genius. Embiid selfish and always out of shape. I still don't know why to get Paul George. He also injury issues.
@@kanantony4423 Both KD and Klay went down as well.
@tigera6 KD sure. But even when Klay played the warriors looked outmatched. Raptors should of won that series in 5. Questionable reffing in favor of warriors and bad decisions by Nurse pushed it to 6.
@@kanantony4423 It would have gone to game 7 had Klay not missed game 3 and went down in game 6 imo. Steph went crazy in game 3 but the rest of GS couldnt score a thing, Klay would have changed that.
Good on Tyrese Maxey for calling him out Joel Embid is an embarrassment too the NBA and the Philadelphia 76ers right now.
🗣️ Let OG MAD DOG COOK! 👨🍳
Bam pushed Paul George on his face down trying to get the ball😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Stop with the excuses. He's been out of shape his whole career. What's he do all summer?
Eat, Drink & be Merry!
Embiid has played with a lot of Stars,no more excuses for big boy...call em out Ty! Lol🍻🍺
why did yall let him play on the olympic team smh
And yet Steven A keeps complaining about Leonard almost playing in the olympics. Something that never happened in the end. But with Embiid it did happen. He played the Olympics and hasn't been healthy even since.
They thought they needed him, or AD will be a bit undersize against Jokic.
You don’t have to like him, but he came up huge during the Olympics especially against Serbia.
They needed him against Serbia
I love that maxey challenged embiid he’s the true leader of the team
Embiid will find some way to make himself the victim.
what a weird comment, his body is physically done, watch him right now compared to January 2024
@kaysheye7784 babying a grown man, who you also don't know is crazy to me. If his body was really that messed up he should've taken care of himself over the summer...not play in the Olympics
@@808Stone doesn't change the fact he's physically done. If you actually paid attention, you'd know Embiid made the personal decision to play in Paris knowing he had Steph and Bron to carry him
First it was his tummy for eating to much Burgers now its his Legs for not playing and getting in shape 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Embid gone miss 10 more games cause Maxey hurt his feelings lol😂
It’s funny they lost to the heat and this happened.. maxey about to pulled a jimmy butler and dipped out of Philly 😂
Shams wants to add that he doesn’t want to get punched lol
He should get punched
From a Celtics fan, i 100 percent trust the process. Keep it up Philly 😂😂😂
He's making hundreds of millions, and the dude is comfortable and doesn't have to try anymore.
Shannon Sharpe said it best... NEVER ACCEPT ANYTHING IN A WIN, YOU WOULDN'T ACCEPT IN A LOSS. 💯💯💯
Money changing people real talk 💯
Maxey is turning out to be a true leader here. Love his attitude. Make him a captain.
5:08 Doggy was cooking 💯🔥
I watched Media members such as Stephen A give Embiid, pass after pass on Embiid's short comings. When the Knicks defeated them in 6, every made the excuse that Embiid wasn't healthy yet he played in the olympics shortly after. Embiid is like this because thats what everyone allowed him to be, by always using injury as a way to excuse his shortcomings.
Really stop the Disrespect of my Nets‼️‼️‼️
Joel Embiid is the modern-day version of Joe Barry Carroll. Look that up.
Sixers 2014: Worst team in the NBA about to "Trust the process" Taking Embiid
Sixers 2024: Worst team in the NBA "Processing the Process" & Done with Embiid 😂
Why does Stephen A’s opinion matter to anyone? Everyone else good takes but couldn’t even listen to his parts I just don’t want to be preached to by that guy
Brotherly Love in Philly they’d be fine they got McCain
They 2-11. They far from fine
2-11 in the East is like 6-7 in the West
@@CircumNet That makes no sense.
LMAO
HE NEVER PLAYS IN THE GAME STEPHEN !!!!!😭😭😭😭
Embid remains by far on the top of the rank when it comes to entitled players in history.
entitled in what way?
Embiid even in interviews has been sounding arrogant. No media training, just gotta say “hey I want to play & help my team for the city & the fans. It hurts me that I can’t help out my guys. I’m doing everything I can to be better.”
It’s fun watching the 76ers lose because I laughed so hard that they thought Paul George would make them an contender! 😂
Someone at ESPN offices should call out SAS
Mad Dog writing off Embiid like Embiid didnt just take Jokic to school in the olympics 😂 Embiid's issues may be annoying but lets not get ridiculous, hes still a great player when he wants to be.
let's not forget with superstars. yeah, emfraud fantards are everywhere.
You can name every player on Embiid's Olympic team. Guaranteed you can't name a single one of Jokic's. You goofy.
@HisRoyalFreshness163 What does that have to do with Embiid schooling Jokic? Jokic was picking TeamUSA apart until Embiid got in the game. Get off yr knees & onto reality 🤡
@@KZ1994able haha schoolingdefend emfraud more, lil bro.
@tee_swag How much do you cry every time Embiid whoops Jokic on the court?
Mad Dog is hilarious when he gets to yelling🤣🤣🤣 I might not agree, but it's funny af!
He's also going to have a lawsuit on his hands after he pushed that reporter. If she hires a good attorney, she'll get 10% of his salary. The 76ers were in perfect to draft Dalton Knecht and didn't take him, or they could have drafted Kyle Filipowski to replace Embiid, who has nothing but legal problems ahead of him.
Lol no he's not. Reporter knows if he sued his credentials would get cut
It wasn't a she. The reporter he pushed was Marcus Hayes of the PHI Inquirer.
Do you post anything truthful? you are the TMZ of espn yt commenters.
City definitely siding with Maxey 💯
Maxey needs to play better too tf
Who’s been apart of locker rooms at that table 😂😂😂 MAYBE Molly when she was getting railed by the whole team
we get it Stephen you have a great history in the Philly newspaper
lol yall really turning on JOEL 😂😂😂
Phillies front office is putting this out there
That is something only players should know, unfair for embiid ,media should not broadcast stuff like these. Unfair media
We need Uncle Shay Shay to re-enact this meeting 😂😂 the one he did with KLove and Isaiah Thomas is goated
I won't forget the media telling me after embiid's 70 point game that he might be wilt and shaq combined.
All the legitimate stuff goes out the window when you speak in my kids and family Period point blank
4:19 Doggy chompin' at the bit- 😁
I’m from Philly and I agree with everything mad dog said.
Stephen A calls Kawhi out, says he shouldn't play in the Olympics and that his focus should be on the people that pay him. Meanwhile, Embiid goes to the Olympics, gets his bag and then sits out but Stephen A justifies his record of injuries and conviniently paints the picture of Embiid being the best big man in the league "when fit". He continues to compare Embiid to Jokić and the other greats of the past. Just say you won't criticize those who give you an interview and those who are good to you. Btw i love you Stephen A but as a paying customer, we are also allowed to critique you right?
Im a lifelong diehard Sixers fan. Its time to move on. Its over. Unless some miracle turn around this has to be Embiid last year in Philly. We done with him and hes done with us
Is he the Sixers’ team spokesman?
Embiid to Toronto for Poeltl, Bruce Brown, and 2025 1st rounder. You heard it here first.
Toronto hate Embiid LOL
Since when is it not in someone's clause to give ALL reasonable effort to the team and the game? If I start slacking at work, I lose my pay. Players need to stop running the league. Same with the MLB and NFL.
Here we go with Stephen A and the anonymous quotes.
You’re never late when you have 200ms in your bank account. Facts 😂😂😂
He’s played in a conference finals .. vs Toronto, when Leonard hit that wild game winner.
Embiid is turning into Ben Simmons 😂
Molly knew Steven A would attack the brother.....she sicked Steven on Embid.... uncle T......
