WAAAAAAH

Embiid will definitely sell a foul or two per game, but people in here aren't watching the games if they think the overwhelming majority of his free throws aren't warranted. In most cases, his defender either let him catch the ball too deep and hacks him to prevent a layup, he seeks out the contact instead of avoiding it when going up, or he's getting doubled/tripled and people are swiping at the ball as he's brining it up.

Also, comparing his free throw attempts to Jokic's doesn't make sense, because they play a very different style of ball while in the paint. Jokic is a lot more finesse-based and he's looking to put up floaters, push shots, short jumpers, or he's looking to pass the ball. When Embiid gets the ball in the paint, he's going up hard like 90% of the time. The finesse work that Embiid does is mostly from the top of the key or farther out, with the only exception really being his free throw line pull-up jumper.

What’s funny is that in r/nfl people complain endlessly about Hurts and the Brotherly Shove and in r/mlb it’s all about how the Phillies lose intentionally to perform better in the playoffs.

I’m sorry Philadelphia hurt you all so, but you’ve got to let it go.

Maybe stop fouling him?

Apsurd!

Feels like it

How much does he give the refs.

Not even joking.

This is getting real old. We get it, he's a FT merchant. Find a new slant, I'm getting bored

This is what Harden meant when he said he was the system

And as we’ve seen time and time again, he won’t get the whistle in the playoffs when it matters!

A 300 pound Harden.

Insurance fraud basketball. Gross.

Morons in here would rather think every single ref has been paid by Embiid yo give him free throws over the fact that the best scorer in the NBA in the last 2 seasons and this one is very hard to defend without fouling

Its lunacy and y'all need professional help

Big bastard legitimately gets fouled the most in the league but definitely uses theater to get a few more a game. One of those things where it sucks so bad to watch that it feels more egregious than it actually is.

next harden

Embiid is amazing. Free throw drawing is a skill. But it is absolutely painful to watch embiid

Imagine Shaq with Embiid's ft accuracy.

+20 ft pee game, easy.

Teams don't know how to defend him. It's too hard to play defense because he's too strong to be stopped and if you go hard, you might give him a foul... And he's beyond tricky.

Free Throw star

Some regular season games are unwatchable with all the flopping and free throws.

There are those who value the integrity of the game, and then there are Embiddi fans

"MvP"

I sure love watching basketball where a third of the points are free throws.

Meanwhile Philly fans tryna make excuses he's not a foul merchant.. 'then dont foul him' excuses incoming.

He's also #6 in FG made, after being #1 in the league last year.

So yes, he gets a lot of points of FTs. He also scores a lot of points without them.

It's too bad Harden left the Sixers because him and Embiid are my least favorite star players to watch. Could've just skipped Sixers games. I hated watching the Simmons/Embiid teams. Turns out I just don't like Embiid. He's talented as hell and like half of his game is unwatchable. He is way too big and skilled to be playing like a little bitch.
