Unethical hooper

None of y'all can complain about Luka whistle anymore. Refs have it against him this year.

[–] FriendlyPipesUp@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I hate watching him play because of his foul baiting

Embiid has mastered the art of ~~flopping~~ drawing fouls on drives.

Not even a Philly or Embiid fan but if you think he's getting these purely for flopping I implore you to watch the games. Matchups HAVE to foul him because he's otherwise just getting the easiest 2 at the rim, he's too big for them and he's a master of getting switched on smaller guys in the post.

THANK YOU the flopping thing is crazy overblown, these people are not watching games

Embiid acts like he got murdered if you breathe on him from the other side of the court. Like, I don't know how he's the one guy they're still letting bait.

[–] RedMoloney@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

If you guys are gonna complain about it then your teams need to stop fouling him.

[–] Razatiger@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This is why I think SGA is the BEST scorer in the league right now. He leads the league in drives but is only going to the line 6.1 times a game and is still averaging 30 on amazing efficiency every night.

They're not all cheap by any means, either.

FINALLY someone addresses this floppiid and his team also flops all the time

Embiid’s free throw disparity is the closest thing to blatant cheating in professional sports

[–] CPTHoagie@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

you're the closest thing to a modern frontal lobotomy.

Why cant Embiid replicate this during the playoffs?

[–] CPTHoagie@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Embiid's free throw rate is higher in the playoffs. You know you can look things up right? The reason he isn't as good in the playoffs is that he's usually badly injured.

[–] Extreme_Ad_7594@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The flop king 👑

[–] percy2376@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Embiid actually can get buckets but his free throws are the only thing people look at apparently.He does flop but he also is getting legitimately fouled in alot of cases

[–] DeadDay@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Watched him tonight. He really is incredible. Simple and efficient.

Ive watched embiid. Pretty sure the gameplan of every defense is to foul him constantly.

[–] wardledo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The fact that people make these post and don’t watch a single game of Embiids. He’s on the line because he gets fouled. He’s a beast.

This being upvoted more than 2x the sixers post game is shows how stupid r/nba is

[–] r_conqueror@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Embiid plays such nice basketball when he’s trying. Plays the ugliest basketball ever when he’s just lazy foul baiting. I can’t stand it, am definitely a hater.

[–] Champaganthony@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

What about Steph, what about Steph
