@@032HULK That is the point , Joel is a known player to get injured enough that it just seems like poor taste to doubt him or give him crap . It's not like he is Ben Simmons who is just killing time to keep his contract. Joel is a big dude and anything to do with his knee they are going to be very carful since they are trying to do well in the post as well and would need Joel 110% healthy to have a chance. Also , I watched and read the comments before I found out Joel got hurt again. I paused the video at the end and started making a comment to point out that a player like Joel , AD or like Kawhi , if they get banged up in the regular season , I would want my team to rest them and not play this game given his history. when I was making this point is when I looked up to see what exactly happened in The Pacers game to make sure he at least did hurt himself and then the news was just breaking almost in real time that Joel was maybe done for the season. That is why I worded it that way. It doesn't change that fact that this was a known thing going into this season that Joel has a hard time playing 65 games and he has been called out for flaming out in the post season.

Jokic has back-to-back MVP titles, Finals MVP and the first Championship for Denver. He's doing it in the Western Conference (16/24 Championship teams in the last 24 years). He's already an all-time great even if he retires tomorrow. That's the difference.

You should have mentioned in your video that Jokic always plays! He has missed one game this season, and also carried his team to the playoffs when Murray and MPJ were out due to injuries. Sure, they didn't win, but he got them there. The man has been dealing with a lingering wrist injury, back strain, and was poked in the eye a few days ago where you can see it's still visibly irritated, but still played! Embiid is soft. Embiid didn't deserve MVP last year, he clearly stole that from Jokic with the smear campaign by KP. Joker was clearly better than the year before when he won it. This year, the 9 of 11 games he's missed have been against teams like the Heat, Celtics, Bucks, Pelicans, Magic, Rockets, Timberwolves, etc. The two home games he missed were against the Jazz and Kings. Coincidence? I don't think so! The games where he is said to dominate teams... Is he truly dominant? Sure, if you're playing sub 500 teams. I don't get the hype around this guy. To me, Jokic is clearly better and more deserving but Stephen A has already started the narrative this weekend, that if Embiid doesn't qualify for MVP because of what he's missed, that the next person that wins it clearly doesn't deserve it. I take that as a jab to Jokic, but how can you support a guy that doesn't play? How is he deserving if he doesn't play? This is where I truly hate the media. 🤦‍♀️

Fun fact: Jokic is 1-12 vs Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City all time, only win Denver got there was back in february 2020 as they had only 7 players available. Jokic played that game, on the road, against team that was 32-16 at the time, won a game with Murray, Monta Morris, G.Harris, T.Craig, Cancar and PJ Dozier! Out of those 7 players 2 are now out of the ligue, 3 barelly play now, it 's safe to say that Jokic played that game and most of that season with G--Ligue team, So my point is, even that Jokic always lose at Utah, he plays, he doesn't mind if he have 4 pionts, or even lose game, he puts in effort all the time, every game, he shows up. Embiid on other had only looks for his stats, he values own scoring more than team success, flopps all the time, foul baiting. There is no comparising of those tho players, it should never be again!

I gotta say this video feels like it’s in pretty bad taste. It’s easy to just follow the “he’s ducking” narrative but he missed the followed game and then had a massive injury against the golden state warriors. The same injury people want to pretend he’s faking is now taking him out of the mvp race. I get it tickets cost a lot of money but situations like this make me feel that the fans can get a little too entitled. He didn’t even put himself on the injury report… the team manager did. Because the team understood this was a real risk. In fact the only reason why he was playing against golden state was prob because of the new rule an people saying he’s ducking but now one of our leagues best stars is out with an injury again and sports media doesn’t even stop to say maybe we’re wrong after pushing these narratives. Hell shannon sharpe was talking about this is what y’all get for sitting games while healthy. What do you mean?

Lol, this video was made before he was injured. And 2, if Embiid was really bullied into playing because of being called soft, then he really is soft. Or if he played when he was hurt in order to qualify for the MVP, instead of trying to be healthy for the playoffs and win a chip, then he is a stat padder like everyone says he is. We had the media glazing Embiid calling him better than Wilt and Shaq. Except he hasn't done half of what they did at the same age. He wants the legacy without doing the work. He is a 7 ft Harden, and he will not win a championship as a number 1. I hope he gets well, but I do not respect his case as MVP, or better than Shaq or Wilt or Jokic.

Nice content guys, you re right. The difference in mentality on these two is HUGE. Nicola might be a laid-back personality BUT he has warrior-like treats such as NEVER-BACK-DOWN, LET'S-SETTLE-THIS and RESPECT-ME-JUST-AS-I-DO etc. Personally i see Jokic as a 7footer point guard and Embiid as a 7footer shooting guard, thts why i 'd pick Joker, plus his mentality edge over Embiid who seems to prefer personal accolades over his team success while underperforming at the playoffs many times. Btw, whts the intro's song title? It's not wht you have in discription. Keep it up!

The only NBA playoff game where I went ape shit crazy was Game 7 in the Toronto series. That last shot man. That shit was crazy.

Honestly I’d respect embiid if he continues to do this so he’s healthy for the playoffs. If embiid gives up on the mvp (by missing too many games) so he can be better for the playoffs than I’d respect it

imagine clippers vs 6ers final and both harden and embiid have a choke-off

The difference is Embiid throws his body around recklessly when he is too big and not conditioned well enough to be Kobe Bryant. Jokic plays under control at all times. He knows what his body can take and he finds a way to be effective within those limits. Embiid tries too hard while Jokic moves with utmost efficiency and guess what. He doesn't get hurt nearly as often and when he is hurt, he plays when the team needs him.

Scratching Embiid out 10mins before the game is a real cluster fuck move. Specially if you had the 76ers on a parley like I did.

At the end of the day we’re fans with very limited access to behind the scenes situations. I hate that this has become the narrative around one of the most talented centers to ever play. Some of it is on him surely, but as of late it’s gotten really unfair

If he can't stay healthy, then he ain't the MVP. If he wants to sit out games, then put him on the IR list. And if he's really injured, then don't play just to qualify for a regular season award. But I think he got hurt from a freak accident, that could happen anytime to anyone.

At this point it’s not even a matchup thing and a guy ducking competition. It’s a finances thing. A lot of fans and people will spend life changing dollars to see a guy like Joel (or any other star) play, and to have a decision like that made so suddenly is killer to people

Difference is that one is the leagues prima donna project and the other is an athlete/warrior.

Thanks for this video!

If i have too,i would go for Jokic

Embiid is like Mr Satan from Dragon Ball, he’s strong and putting up great numbers against the

Yo the Shadow of Evil poster frame too goes crazy.

man the couch has a tangerine 😂😂😂. respect brother

Keep on keepin on and get better soon

When i saw him out of his jersey, i was like 'oh no' i could already imagine the voices of fans talking trash about him.

And deservingly so. lol It's really ridiculous. At this point the NBA should have thought of a better system to combat this. But expecting fans to pay full price tickets just to watch superstars sit out is gross. I am a single father and can only go to a game or two max per season, and its always a fear I have when buying tickets. It's ridiculous.

I guess everyone defending Embiid just forgot that he cried his way to MVP huh?

Getting points for yourself < getting points for your entire team

Dudes just went through YEARS of repeated behavior from Embiid, then ended the video by saying, "if he keeps doing this, I will be rooting against him". How much more evidence do you need?

I'm curious Embiid is in the East and Jokic is in the west...wtf does he expect if the Nuggets make it to the finals again. He can't call out sick for all 7 games or let's be real all 4 games.

Covid has played more games in Denver than Embiid has, let that sink in.

Ben Simmons, inconsistency, injuries, no Tobias Harris, bad supporting cast, James harden always destroys My hope for embiid but still love him but understand the hate

He only plays bad teams on the road and then only plays home games against good teams. Then flops for 20 free throws a game. Of course he’s putting up big numbers. Empty stats for the biggest fraud in nba history. Why he has historic drops in the playoffs when it’s a whole new sport.

You guys have to release more

Honest question: how many of Embiid's injuries are because of him diving to the ground every time an opposing player is nearby? 280 pounds falls HARD. And when that weight is falling from 7 feet? Enough of those hits (you know... hitting yourself against the ground) can weaken a body.

Hey Ma, new synthetic sports video dropped

Larry Bird broke his orbital bone in 1991 against Indiana in game five. He came back out in the 3rd and helped them win the game. He went straight from the game to the hospital and had surgery. He said in an interview that during the fourth quarter he had dbl vision and could see 2 baskets so he would try to aim I’m between the hoops to make a shot. If you want the win bad enough you make that shit happen…. 🤷‍♀️

Seeing a guy as big and strong as Embiid getting free throws over a flop is so sad to see. I get why he does it but as a fan it's just not fun to see.

The issue with this kind of video premise is that if your looking for an excuse, you WILL be able to find one. That will always be the case for every player or team. It’s hard to win, you have to win in spite of the hardships and obstacles.

Embiids scoring accomplishments isnt that impressive when you see how many free throws he averages per game. Its absurd

14:57 didn't know we had cameras with that high of quality in 1/27/202

The league needs to change the rules, so the game is a little tougher cause stars abusing weak rules is so boring

Stress and anxiety can actually give you physical symptoms 😅 my man is just too tense in the playoffs, makes injuries easier to get

If Mr. Glass is ever up to beating the allegations, Denver’s arms are always open to him and I REALLY hope they come visit us in the postseason.😊 I meannnn … the elevation’s obviously not the issue since they came here for their training camp, right? Even had Coach Prime try to hype JoJo up to be great against tough opponents and not just weak ones … still waiting!

Orbital fractures are super nasty BTW. They happen in boxing or MMA in REALLY bad knockouts. Like people getting kicked in the head bad knockout.

People do not understand how big Joel is because he is able to do things we have never seen someone his size do. I do not understand why people are hating on Joel when if anything it should be The NBA. He is one player that should be playing as cheap as he can during the regular season since there is such a great chance of him getting hurt or burnt out . Giannis is a better player then Joel , everyone keeps forgetting about him because of the other drama on the team but he is still putting up his crazy stat lines as well and also has a ring as well along with one hell of a finals carry job.

I don’t think he should be the frontrunner for MVP at all now. This is such a huge blow to him imo. Being this soft is ridiculous

Embiid is playing suspiciously like a 2k MyPlayer. goes and scores 70 on the spurs or the 40 on the wizards/pistons, doesn’t play big games

Philly on a 4 game skid since that 70 point game. Not a good look

Any difference in the ducking thought when he might actually be injured right now seeing as he's missing Portland tonight or that one of his 40-point games this season was vs Joker (in Philly)? And yes, the constant injuries are annoying.

@shorewall

If he's injured then put him on the injury report. Questionable or probable or whatever. There is a procedure when players are hurt or injured. Philly didn't do that.

It's the LeBron tactic. Ball out against mediocre or bad teams, and sit out when you're playing a contender team, or a rival player/team. Though Embid is an insane talent, no denying that, I am not a fan of selective playing and stat padding. It's wild, because the talent in the NBA is crazy good in todays NBA. But with how they ref, load management, flopping and all the uncalled travels in the NBA, its sort of cheapening the game. Its so easy to score in todays NBA in comparison to how it used to be. And change is always invitable, but its not as shocking to see all these high scoring games once you look into how they achieved it. Now if he was doing this sort of stuff playing other all stars then thets different. Only playing subpar teams and clearly sitting out when playing other all stars/superstars is lame.

Are you imagining games now? Embiid was supposed to play Joker twice, but he ducked the second game that was in Denver, for the 4th or 5th year in a row. I count that as a loss for him, since he was running scared, or physically unable to match up. So that record looks a lot more even then. I guess I understand why Embiid fans think he is so great, when they can just imagine the stuff he did.

Get well soon!

A vaccine is to build your immunity so that you don't get sick, not to cure you when you get sick. Vaccines infect you with dead or weakened virus cells, so that your body can build antibodies. If you already are sick, then your body is already building antibodies. Getting a vaccine won't help, and may even overwhelm your system.

true, being the regular season High score player is nothing, Harden did it, Luka did it, etc etc. The only thing that matters are the playoff and good thing that the playoffs is hard as NAILS. You can say whatever you want about Jokic being slow and he doesn't pat his scoring like others. But he's saving his energy for the playoffs like a marathon player, instead of sprinting for stats

Who knew Denver actually had a fanbase. I guess the Championship brought out the borderline fans.

Big buck paid to watch clash of titans..but one used forbidden duck form 😂
