Until now I’ve never even heard of Cam Thomas. Guess I’ve been under a rock

Never gonna answer the question are you

Never gonna stop sucking a fake MVPs dick are you

[–] McBrungus@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I asked a question first, but giving a real answer would involve actually watching basketball, so I get why you're reticent to engage on the topic

Expected to see a Laker in the Top 10 considering how much everyone cries about the free throw disparity

[–] phasesofthe@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

People foul him bc he’s bigger and would otherwise score. It’s that incredibly simple. He’s an all-time great and possibly the most versatile center ever. End of story.

[–] Clunkytoaster51@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It's impossible to watch 76ers games if you want to watch actual basketball

[–] shazam482@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Remember when Embiid elbowed Nurkic, then threw himself to the ground?

[–] Diqt@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is an awesome stat

[–] Vic-Vinegar76@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Because nobody can't stop him without fouling. Pretty simply.

[–] Adventurous-Mix8983@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Idk how I’ve never really noticed it till this year because I felt like I watched Dame play quite a bit in Portland but the whistle he’s gotten so far this year is sickening. Defenders can’t breathe on the guy without it being a foul it’s so annoying

Imagine posting this stat about Shaq during hack a shaq.

Also, wild how you have to scroll past the first 10 meme upvoted comments to get to the actual substantive stuff from the fans that actually watch basketball. Yes he flops. Yes he gets legitimately fouled more than most people.

[–] TdotSkunt@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But then again Shaq never flopped and Embiid Flops on every play. I Just love the clip of the Raptors ripping him a new one as he walk out the tunnel crying like a baby with The words TORONTO in the background. 😄

[–] Brokromah@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

"every play"

The city is more proud of Embiid than your parents have ever been of you in your life.

[–] EndTimesPreacher24@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He hasn't mastered it. It's obvious to anybody that watches these games that this dude is a fake when it comes to flopping. The league wants him to be a top star. He doesn't deserve half those fouls lol.

[–] HaiImLoki@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Honey, it's time for your daily embiid whine thread by the box score watchers of r/nba

[–] uncomfortbIe@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

well yeah when 29/32 nba teams employ nobody’s at the center position, the generational big man is going to shoot a lot of free throws.

[–] Southern_Opinion4659@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I love that people on this sub get genuinely upset at Embiid, fucking NBA star living rent free in some scrubs head, pathetic and hilarious.

[–] Unlucky-External5648@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] Idefydefiance@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

And we can all breathe a collective sigh of relief because this style of basketball gets killed during the playoffs. Fuck call-baiting free throw merchants.

[–] TdotSkunt@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

#Flop Sho Joe

[–] Squeaks_Scholari@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Jokić comes out of games scratched to hell and bleeding and maybe gets 2-3 calls a game.

[–] RainbowNoLife@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

These aren't accurate stats lol

[–] Wisstig1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Embiid is also 6th on list of total FGM, 2 people above him have played more games but that doesn’t fit the narrative

Embiid also led the league in FGM last year

Defenders can’t defend him so they foul him

But insert the “free throw merchant” comments
