How dafaq is Kawhi not on the list. You morons criticise him at every point when he plays when he doesn't play then say no one talks about it by talking about it. None of the players you spoke on has been told to retire.

I feel like embiid doesn't get the criticism he deserves. You explained why he SHOULD be criticized, but he usually manages to avoid it through other excuses like Ben Simmons, Doc rivers, injuries, James harden. I understand those factors alright, but somehow the MVP, the leader of the team, manages to not take the brunt of the criticism

The fact that he goes from 27 PPG to 24 PPG 50% from the field to 46% from the field and have failed to show up in several series and never make it out of the 2nd round, it still amazes me how there's always something to scapegoat him out of criticism.

I think Russ low key redeemed himself though, his only bad season was with the lakers. He was balling with the wizards, and he was a perfect fit for the clippers. He averaged like 24 this year in the playoffs, so I don’t think it’s on Russ as much as it is on Kawhi and PG

Russ reached a new peak with Houston. I was mad asf in the postseason when he came back and played that way, but I'm confident that had not been injured AND caught Covid he would've been balling.

I think we can all agree that Zion Williamson, Ja Morant & Ben Simmons' criticisms are pretty self-inflicted. Nobody put that gun in Ja's hand but himself, nobody put all that food in Zion's mouth but himself and Ben Simmons seemingly regressed by his own accord. To some extent this is true with Kyrie Irving as he chose to sit out those games and post that tweet, but it wasn't all his fault that Dallas was terrible last season. And James Harden has destroyed his own reputation long before the Philly trade, so does that even matter anymore? KD has an MVP, 2 rings and 2 Finals MVP's, so at the end of the day what can you really criticize him for? And we all knew Joel Embiid couldn't play it all out in Philly anyway.

​@@wilfredoluna6192 I disagree there. I think his 2021 run has since been moreso labelled as a 76ers failure rather than a Trae Young accomplishment. Even looking back nobody actually believed he should've been in the conference finals. That's been further validated by that fact that he's gotten bounced in the first round both times afterwards. He got absolutely destroyed on both ends by my Heat in 22 (if you're a big Trae fan I advise you don't look at his numbers in that series), and even though the recent Boston series had some moments, it was still a 1st round exit where he shot 33% from 3. Outside of that though, his shot selection is still questionable, he's still the worst defender in the league and recently he's had this whole Team USA situation where it's become clear that both players and coaches around the league don't respect his game (AM Hoops recently made a great video discussing this). I'm not a Trae Young hater (those only exist in New York after all), and I'm not even gonna say I necessarily think all his critics are right about him, but that's just the perception around him right now which is why I think he should be in this video

To his credit though, hes led his team to a conference final, which is better than what embiid has been able to do with much better teams.

Using the word “Polarizing” 🤝🏾 Swishout

As a Laker fan, IDK if Anthony Davis is the guy to build around.

Imo Harden’s criticism is COMPLETELY warranted every single time he’s made the playoffs he’s lost because of a choke job, the only time you can cut him slack was in 2018 because if CP3 was healthy the rockets would be 2018 champs, and 2021 where he was injured but other than that since 2012 when he’s been eliminated from the playoffs it was because he choked and it’s not even like he had no good players, he had a still star player Dwight Howard, CP3, Russel Westbrook and his infamous Kyrie and KD superteam he was a part of and still no ring to show for it.

kyrie double dribbled in that first clip lol

Westbrook deserved some of the flack he got for being so stubborn about his playstyle and not getting why he kept bouncing from team to team but people went overboard. Got to respect his passion for the game. Dude always left everything on the court, which is more that can be said for some of the guys on here.

He’s the guy I feel the most sad for because he really isn’t appreciated despite being one of the NBA’s best ambassadors.

My philosophy is you can criticize players all you want for their on court production or attitude or off court shenanigans, but don't ever blame the players themselves for the contracts they're given or whatever return is given in a trade for them. In the ladder scenario, the front office is to blame.
