Philly always had a big star DrJ, Big Mo, Ser Charles, AI, now they think they had , but Chokel Crybid is a FLOP with some mental issues
one thing u guys don't bring up in philly he has better game than joker but he doesn't play when philly goes to Denver. he hasn't played in Denver in over 5 yrs. he not scared of joker, embiid is scared of the high altitude. always no healthy when they go their. I wouldn't call him top 2 players in league because they best players like Lebron get their team out of second round by himself. Look lebron went first final against spurs. It Lebron and bunch of bench players.
Like always joel the coward embiid only faces him when advant is joel. Joel on a team that dpnt even need him. Bam and ad both have outplayed that flopping coward
Joel bodies Joker everytime they play
Joel the biggest coward in the NBA… never plays in Denver…
Cry more 🤡
Embiid only faces Jokic in Philly
I see Embiid ducking 🦆 Jokic as usual with a BS injury 😂🤪
Jokic >>> Embiid all day everyday
Jokic a great player, focus more on him. USA has an all star team. Keith u love drama!!
Jokic is clutch, Joel is not!
Put pressure on JOE AGAIN 😢😢😢DAM JUST LET HIM HAVE FUN IN HIS OFF SEASON 😢😢😢
Agreed - this topic is foolish. Jokers team is built around him. He has the ball alot - he’s in a rhythm. Joel is playing with 12 stars - he doesn’t know when he’s getting the ball. It’s hard to get into a rhythm like that. Just go have fun and win the game. I think joker is the best center even tho I’m an Embiid fan but no way I can compare the Olympics experience…. It’s not the same..
@@Chumpchange675proof that joel isn't as skilled as yall claim.. he needs a team built around him and jokic no the team not built around him it's just the serbian team and he the hub because he makes other better..joel doesn't make any of his teammates better..jokic could of won a title with Harden and Tobias Harris.. embiid most overrated played in nba and olympics have proven it
@@oldmansportsog2514 no need to respond - you are obviously an Embiid hater…. Both guys are great to me….
🤣🤣🤣ALL THOSE SUPER STARS ON USA TEAM...YALL A FOOL BELIEVING ITS A MATCHUP BETWEEN JOE and JOKIC with Lebron and Antony on the Court 🤣🤣🤣
Embiid should’ve dominated. The other team’s best player was Raul Neto. The way this fanbase gives Embiid passes is so wild to me.
Don’t care! Dominate the Celtics and the Knicks when he does that I will care.
Keith 😂 Stop making excuses for Furk He’s out of the league He was never a good player He was a serviceable player at times Just goes to show how overrated the players who played around embiid were Barkley criticism was justified this time and didn’t come off as hate like it usually does Embiid is out of shape & He should feel a little embarrassed by his other performances You don’t do interviews & talk about goat status and then go out play like trash Heavy is the head that wears the crown This ain’t the allstar game - legacies are on the line From coaches to players It’s Gold or Bust
Embiid didn't dominate nothing...he only played a little better...you guys are wishful thinking.
He played a lot better He was locked it Made more of effort to rebound More effort to run down court The sequence where they moved him Out of drop coverage and let him switch He killed
Joel Inneed needed this olympic play to see his below average ways ain't cutting it. He doesn't have the mindset of someone who can get to the finals and deliver a chip. It's four years late for ppl to come around, but we still think he can do something. Emsweet will have to sell the tickets until we can find a star, but nothing new should expected from the Sixers with him leading us.
difference was that Barkley was tired in 4th quarter like embiid. he only wins against joker in regular only plays joker in philly he scared to play in Denver. he hasn't played in Denver in 5 yrs.
Why are you joker lovers always so concerned about Embiid? Must look at him as a threat if he’s always on your mind.
@@Mugga94 bums like u call him best center in league when he is not. he scared to play in Denver. Joker got 3 mvp to his 1. joker got championship to embiid many choke jobs. who is he gonna blame when philly loses to knicks or Boston again.
A threat to a "CHAMPION" and "multiple" MVP. REALLY!!!
@@justmythoughts101 wait what does embiid have other than lot of surgery time and only mvp in history not to get past 2 second. ok bot lol
Where you pros been, I thought Akbar did something to y'all. Great to have you back.
You guys are wishy washy about Embiid one day y’all kicking when he doesn’t have a good game. But the minute he has a good game y’all back on the bandwagon. The guy is one of the most talented guy in the NBA can dominate when he once to. Barkley a great player but played out of shape many times he the biggest hypocrite on tv. Embiid is Embiid an injury prone great player, he is what he is get over it.
Hey my man Keith I just subscribed I’ll be locked no pun intended 😂
Why did he not start second half? Was he injured? Imagine kobe playing w embid. Geesh kobe would be furious!!
The easy narrative is to say embiids injuries are due to not being in shape when you don’t remember his actual injuries. Does he need to get in better shape? Sure. Does that mean he got injured because of it? No.
No, the lack of conditioning is a contributing factor. That's what's stated by all
@@johnmitchell7654 Broken orbital bone, Bell’s palsy, hand injuries, Knee bruise, someone falling on your leg and stress fractures in your foot aren’t from conditioning. Using one issue (injuries) to make your point on another issue (not being in shape) when they’re not related is disingenuous or not being informed (not you specifically). Could the torn meniscus have been contributed to due to his weight? I assume so, but he’s also a 7ft basketball player. I would be shocked if he didn’t have knee or foot problems during his career. All it takes is a tweak. Anthony Davis gets hurt all the time is he not in shape?
@@Mugga94 you make valid points. Let’s take the injuries that have cost him the equivalent of four full seasons worth of games out of it. Do you believe Joel has optimized his conditioning? Do you believe, using the eye test and knowing that his weight hovers north of 295 pounds, believe he shows up in the best shape possible at the start of the season? And if not, do you believe this is detrimental to his individual and team success?
@@johnmitchell7654 I agree he needs to get in better shape because he gets tired at the end of games and can get lazy on the boards and with turnovers. My only point is people like to push the narrative that he gets injured because he’s out of shape when that’s not usually the case. It’s where I think us Sixers fans and Sixers reporters need to correct the outside media that tries to paint this horrible picture of Embiid when a lot of it isn’t true. I never see anybody from the Philadelphia media fighting for Embiid nationally when they push these incorrect narratives.
CRAZY 😂😂😂BARKLEY SAID THINGS ABOUT TRUMP...NO ONE QUOTED THAT😂😂😂....DEATH EARS🤣🤣🤣
SAID THING😢😢😢NO...BECAUSE YOU WILL STILL FIND NEGATIVE THINGS TO SAY ABOUT JOE😢😢😢BECAUSE YOUR HISTORY SAYING THINGS ABOUT JOE, KEITH 😢😢😢JUST TO GET VIEWS.😮😢😢
It's that tenth emoji that has me crackin' the hell up , at least you got a break from shreddin' tears 😊.
Philly needs to sign JT Thor and trade Adem Bona for Cleveland Damien Jones.
JT Thor isn’t strong though Adem Bona is 6’10, 243 pounds
@@michael922 Damian Jones is 6'10 weight, 245 experienced veteran center for Adem Bona. JT Thor is a young, much needed 6'9, weight 203 power forward who can be brought in under the veteran minimum.
@@deborahstewart1934 I don’t they should trade adem Bona though he’s a athletic freak but also I’d rather have Marcus morris and his brother if that’s possible
@@michael922 Yes trade Adem Bona for a experienced center in Damian Jones. JT Thor is will replace what Adem Bona brings to the team (young and athletic).
Furk never belonged, he stole money for many of years here, in the brett brown era.they kept him too long,and thats a testament to how this organization operates.
I totally agree with Barkley about Joelle's conditioning he's going off of 100% talent he never gave 100% to conditioning his body which does probably contribute to his injury history he can prolong his career by taking some weight off of his knees
Although not totally wrong, Joel was around 250 at Kansas and still was out for those 2 years. Yea the weight loss will obviously take pressure off the knees and ease the wear and tear. But the injuries are going to come regardless. He’s a huge dude whose playstyle involves him contorting his body often. It’s just bound to happen
Joel is a tank... it's only so much he could lose
Kinda hard to stay in shape when your injuries are lower extremities.
Look , the brother had to find his game and now I think he found it and he understanding now💯
Can we talk some football good morning guys! 🏈 How about that Giants Scrap also are the Giants or Eagles winning the EAST
Basketball 🏀 76er channel. Go watch locked on eagle 🦅
Can we talk some football
The show is called Locked On 76ers
“Dominates” is a stretch, he played solid.
Come on guys u never heard a Usa Olympics coach say he can only play 10. Kerr is Jerk. A no coaching Jerk, that once Steph,Dray and Clay got old GSW cant get out the playin. Players make coaches.
USA,Grant never really wanted him, they wanted to make sure France didnt get him. Kerr cant coach talented center. Check Kerr history and the type bigs and how he use bigs. France was going feature Joel and Kerr cant stop him. Just imagine him on France.
They played a G League level team... Who cares. He shouldn't be playing At All... Get healthy and win a NBA Championship
Only ignorance will keep fans from understanding the game...all games require different lineups....some players will be the odd man out...this is a team goal..sitting out doesn't diminish the player's abilities....put egos aside...bring home the gold.
The Sixers allow Joel Embid the opportunity to play himself into Shape. Team USA and Coach Kerr not having it. Sixers need to make Embid run 2 miles every morning ❤️💙❤️
No egos with this basketball team. You play to win
I have no problem with that if Jayson Tatum didn't say a word then Joel embiid shouldn't😮
Let Kerr coach that's why they pay him yall be doing too much
Curry should not start....or play as much...if he's hot...ok...but he's a liability if not
@@ismenasty8731 no one is mentioning this. Curry is a liability on defense
Kerr had to normalize the Tatum benching. Has embid played well no. Is embid healthy, no. Just play embid 10 min per game rest of the way
@@philw9787 exactly! Biid needs to focus on being around some winners and setting screens & rebounding. Keep it basic.
Im glad he got benched i didn't want him to play in the Olympics to begin with and especially for USA, he should have played for France or Cammerron, the only good thing about him in the Olympics is he stays in shape
@@perryellis1423 facts 💯
I’m glad you made that last comment because that’s why I’m glad about Embiid in team USA. He stays in shape and is less likely to need to ramp up during the season. I just want Embiid to learn how to be coordinated and not fall as much. For his own sake.
I wouldn't of even wasted my time going to overrated Paris to be annoyed,hot,mistreated and possibly getting hurt.
These are horrible takes. Embiid was a positive 15 against south Sudan the first time they played. That was his best game of the Olympics. What is Keith talking about they was getting blown out? Team usa was losing when biid got taken out in the 4th when they put AD in the game. You totally made all that up
@@Jaysdatruth KP a known liar can't trust anything he says
Joel needs to lose 30 lbs
Facts 💯
You are soooooooo right. He's going to ask them for a $190,000,000 extension. And they are going to give it to him. The lowest expectation for a pro making that sort of money is that he be in optimum shape. That's the minimum
Did Lebron make the call??? I hope Embid learns from this. He has to learn how to dominate a game without scoring 30/ 40pts
You all want to know the real truth? Team USA never wanted Joel from the very beginning. Nike tricked embiid to coming to USA because they feared in him going to France playing next to Wemby and Gobert which is why France is good now. So they told Joel you were gonna start for team USA. Joel embiid game is very one dimensional he’s not a team ball player like Bam adebayo or Jokic. A lot of you don’t want to hear this truth but it’s facts
@@JudahIamKng this is probably the dumbest take ever 🤦🏾♂️
@@zhairetariq2002 it’s not a dumb take and the reason why I respect Keith Pompey is because he’s a real hoop head. He knows embiid has major flaws in his game but he tries not to be blunt. Embiid skill level is not up there with the elite the same can be said for Giannis as well. Embiid is 300 pounds at 7’0 he’s overweight and he puts all his weight on his opponent which makes him hard to stop, however skill wise I’ll take Bam over him any day. Team USA never wanted him. It was Nike who funds team USA that tricked him to come here because he Had already agreed to play with Wemby in France which is why they gave him the passport
Sure, Embiid is not Jokic or Adebayo. But I believe that you saying “Nike tricked him into playing for USA” is a bit of conjecture, no? 🧐
@@realdreamerschangetheworld7470 it’s not. Embiid already stated he was gonna commit to France to play alongside Wemby which would have been scary for Team USA. But Nike pulled some strings for him to get his passport awhile back and told him that he was gonna start. Look it up even Keith spoke on this
I believe it as a sixers fan. Bird better than bam tho. He's just not a rim runner. And lame body language. And if he can sum how stay quiet@@JudahIamKng
Embiid had one of his better games against south sudan. He could've played. The reason they almost lost wasn't even cause Joel. Not sure yall watched that exhibition but AD was in while they came back. Sudan was making shots on everyone not just joel
Only thing I agree with is MOOK coming back
