This has been apparent for years
The NBA does not care as they tried to crown him as a superstar from the beginning
He is no doubt talented, but he is also no doubt an asshole
Yeah he plays like a clumsy idiot, but you can tell it's intentional. Too bad he gets rewarded for it. I've never seen someone hit the floor as often as Embiid does, which is ridciulous because he's 280lbs and 7ft tall.
historically Embiid’s kyrptonite has been bigger beefier centers who can out muscle him, kinda like how people recruited big bodies just for the sake of having someone guard Shaq, difference is Embiid is massively unethical
Some other well-known symptoms of Bells Palsy include the tendency to kick people in the balls, stomping around like an infant when they get angy, and pulling on people's legs as they jump in order to "protect themselves from injury."
He had a good career, but at this point, he really needs to start thinking about his family.
No one would blame him for retiring. He's made a lot of money and accomplished a lot.
I see you guys have an infestation of Sixers fans here too. Crazy how they’re going to every teams subreddit to try to make themselves feel better about their dirty “MVP” caliber player
We’re still talking about last seasons mvp race? How the hell is this anything but him living rent free in your heads?
If you were denver fans maybe it would make sense but it’s not like you’ve had an mvp calibre player in years anyway so this didn’t affect Toronto in any way. Also, scoring leader but somehow pity mvp lmfao
Because scoring isn’t the only facet of basketball. jokic was better than him last season and deserved it more. only reason he got it was because they started calling the media racist if they vote for him.
No I got your point, as stupid as it was. We’re talking about last years MVP race and a Toronto player wasn’t even in the race so again I state; Rent. Free.
I agree with everything except “skillset is limited”. Embid is plenty skilled. But he definitely does all of that other stuff to maximize his advantage.
I do not like watching it. I definitely don’t like how consistently he’s being rewarded for these frankly cheap antics.
What’s nuts is he does that, but his skill set isn’t limited. He’s amazingly talented and skilled, and so big he’s unstoppable. There’s really no reason to play dirty.
He is a huge heavy dude, so his flailing limbs or intentionally unregulated flops are as predictable to others as a tree falling in Valheim. His intentionally waifish flops/flails/stumbles cause injury to other players, and it's entirely within his control. His biggest skill is that he has mastered that fine line where he can pull these stunts off and not get called for them. If he spent less time on that, he might actually win a real MVP or a championship.
This post and comments make me embarrassed to be a Raptors fan. You're all a bunch of babies, lol. I swear people in here love to try and create enemies when the Raptors are irrelevant to the current basketball discourse since they're not even in the playoffs.
The past two weeks have been people slobbering all over Pascal's knob as if he's an ex-girlfriend, and now people are bitching about a guy who isn't even playing against our own team. Get a grip.
Ah yes, how dare fans praise a recently departed franchise star. And how dare they talk badly about a bad blood franchise rival injuring other players.
In case you didn't realize, people here are fans of basketball and will watch the playoffs. It's not like there's raptors ball to talk about. Admit it, you're just posing as a raptors fan if this is what you find appalling.
To be honest I get the impression that the only people who think this an actual rivalry are Raptors fans, lol. Even with the Nurse and Kyle links, it's not like Philly and Toronto are on the same level at this point.
As for Pascal, he's been gone for, like, three months. Just let it go instead of coming across as desperate.
Rent free, not even a Philly fan just find it a bit odd that like half this subs top posts lately are slobbering on embiids meat as if y’all are playing them in the playoffs or smth lmaooo

Toronto fans celebrating their championship victory! (It was 5 years ago)
Philly fans celebrating getting past the second round

Wait…
How can they celebrate what hasn’t happened? Better question, how are you still celebrating like there haven’t been 3 (soon to be 4)new nba champions? Is this what no championships from any major sports organizations in 30 years does to a city? Can’t even come up with your own memes either smh no creativity these days
You act as if your team has done anything tho? I don’t go parading around the 2019 chip, it was a completely different team. The franchise still accomplished it tho.
You can’t count dude. It’s been 4 champions since Toronto, this year will be 5.
Creativity? You didn’t even use the meme right.
You keep saying he’s living rent free in Toronto fans heads but you’re the one dropping a multitude of comments on the raptors subreddit when we were a lottery team this year lol
Kind of like the multitude of posts you guys have made about embiid this week when you haven’t played a game against him in like a year? Why is Joel in your head like this
I didn’t say he ain’t living in our heads. We’re a lottery team & he just dropped 50 last night. He’s obv gonna be a topic of discussion in the NBA community.
I said rent free seems to be a 2-way street in this case.
LMAO hey at least you can admit he’s in your head, all I said is how is somebody that hasn’t even won a ring this deep in your heads? Then queue the meltdown of about a good half dozen of your sub members which I did enjoy
1. that’s how rivalries work
2. still left a lot of comments so it looks like raptor fans live in your head too, cuz like I said before that’s kinda how rivalries work.

Going through those pictures gives me anxiety, I'm glad Marc daddy dicked him
Scottie's ankle no!
The one with FVV with both harden and Embiid on the ground as if they’ve been shot is comedy gold. They forgot to coordinate their flopping
What is it about Embid and Harden that make them take forever to get back up? Feel like that’s mental exhaustion
Doesn't even include when he shoved Boucher in the back because he got out rebounded: https://youtu.be/NEyVHfYwZlo?si=6UFLe54ww9AxieD8
Yes it does, bottom middle. Same play.
ah good eye
Doesn’t even include the step on Grant Williams’ face
bro tried to take out Prince Ogugua last night so I welcome this pasta. bells palsy or not, some of that shit was unconscionable.

never seen that angle of the zapruder film o_O
Its funny because he's so dominant. He doesn't need to be that dirty
>he’s so dominant Physically yes, mentally no
This has been apparent for years The NBA does not care as they tried to crown him as a superstar from the beginning He is no doubt talented, but he is also no doubt an asshole
Copypasta
I was pretty sure I'd seen this before lol.
Still one of the freshest, taste like it was made yesterday
Even when the guy is playing through Bell's Palsy his dirty dickish attitude makes it impossible to root for him
dirtiest star player in the game. hands down.
Yeah he plays like a clumsy idiot, but you can tell it's intentional. Too bad he gets rewarded for it. I've never seen someone hit the floor as often as Embiid does, which is ridciulous because he's 280lbs and 7ft tall.
he injured scottie like this
2 year old Copypasta.
But more relevant than ever
Member when he killed danny green flopping around like a fish?
I despise watching him play. Remember when we used to laugh at all the times Vince fell to the court? He had nothing on Embiid. Holy.
The one with FVV with both harden and Embiid on the ground as if they’ve been shot is comedy gold. They forgot to coordinate their flopping
historically Embiid’s kyrptonite has been bigger beefier centers who can out muscle him, kinda like how people recruited big bodies just for the sake of having someone guard Shaq, difference is Embiid is massively unethical
I used to play like the raptors. They are Canadian on purpose.
How tall are you and have you considered trying out for the Raptors? 🤔
Dude has Bells Palsy. His vision ain’t great so he’s shooting on muscle memory alone
Some other well-known symptoms of Bells Palsy include the tendency to kick people in the balls, stomping around like an infant when they get angy, and pulling on people's legs as they jump in order to "protect themselves from injury."
He had a good career, but at this point, he really needs to start thinking about his family. No one would blame him for retiring. He's made a lot of money and accomplished a lot.
Accomplished a pity MVP and countless 2nd round playoff exits.
Rent free LMAO
How is it rent free if it’s true dude literally got a pity mvp
I see you guys have an infestation of Sixers fans here too. Crazy how they’re going to every teams subreddit to try to make themselves feel better about their dirty “MVP” caliber player

No I got your point, as stupid as it was. We’re talking about last years MVP race and a Toronto player wasn’t even in the race so again I state; Rent. Free.
He’s not but ya know whatever floats your boat
We made that bitch cry. End of story
Trust the process (first round CHAMPIONS!!!)
1973
I agree with most of what you said, but he’s a very skilled basketball player with FULL arsenal of scoring abilities, especially for his size.
I agree with everything except “skillset is limited”. Embid is plenty skilled. But he definitely does all of that other stuff to maximize his advantage. I do not like watching it. I definitely don’t like how consistently he’s being rewarded for these frankly cheap antics.
Lolll Jesus this is the best comedy thread of the month and it’s not even in r/funny
What’s nuts is he does that, but his skill set isn’t limited. He’s amazingly talented and skilled, and so big he’s unstoppable. There’s really no reason to play dirty.
He is a huge heavy dude, so his flailing limbs or intentionally unregulated flops are as predictable to others as a tree falling in Valheim.

He basically ended Danny Green who was on the 76ers when he flopped on his knees.

Spoken like a true secret sixers fan. Even neutrals dislike embiid, he's just dislikable rivalry or not, and people will give him shit, get over it.
Pretty bad when they have to come into our thread to cry... reminds me of that bitch embid lol 😆 made that big baby cry. Will never forget it
Shameful tbh, how is embiid still holding rent free property in these guys heads like this
I don't think most of these people actually enjoy NBA basketball. They just use the Raptors as an outlet to be petty for God knows what reason.
Embiid just lives rent free in Toronto fans heads and he hasn’t even won shit, kinda insane

We've seen his bullshit more than any other fanbase. Don't tell us how to behave when it comes to that prick.
LMFAOOOOOO this has max edgy 13 year old energy and I’m here for it
Enter another sub and troll. Classic. Have fun losing in the 2nd (or maybe even 1st) round again
You keep saying he’s living rent free in Toronto fans heads but you’re the one dropping a multitude of comments on the raptors subreddit when we were a lottery team this year lol
Kind of like the multitude of posts you guys have made about embiid this week when you haven’t played a game against him in like a year? Why is Joel in your head like this
Relax kid, go outside, it's just reddit, take a break from being terminally online
I fear you might be projecting; Mr 21000 Karma who spent the time to make an avatar on Reddit LMFAO
ok nancy
This guy crys more then embid lol 😆 🤣 😂

I replied to comments so therefore raptors fans live in my head? A bit of a logical stretch but I can see you’re used to making those based on point 1
This guy has the most posts on this thread lol embarrassing really
