[csb @itsCSB__]

no like wdym he tore his achilles in game seven of the fucking nba finals like you’re lying man

[Hoops Reference @HoopsReference]

I really do implore a lot of you to read this story in full.

Start to finish its the most in-depth look into who Joel Embiid is as both a basketball player and as a person and its incredibly refreshing seeing him open up for the first time in a very long time

[Tyrese Haliburton @Hali]

Man. Don’t know how to explain it other than shock. Words cannot express the pain of this letdown. The frustration is unfathomable. I’ve worked my whole life to get to this moment and this is how it ends? Makes no sense.

Now that I’ve gotten surgery, I wish I could count the number of times people will tell me I’m going to “come back stronger”. What a cliche lol, this shit sucks. My foot feels like dead weight fam. But what’s hurting most I think is my mind. Feel like I’m rambling, but I know this is something I’ll look back on when I’m through this, as something I’m proud I fought through. It feels good to let this shit out without y’all seeing the kid ugly cry.

At 25, I’ve already learned that God never gives us more than we can handle. I know I’ll come out on the other side of this a better man and a better player. And honestly, right now, torn Achilles and all, I don’t regret it. I’d do it again, and again after that, to fight for this city and my brothers. For the chance to do something special.

Indy, I’m sorry. If any fan base doesn’t deserve this, it’s y’all. But together we are going to fight like hell to get back to this very spot, and get over this hurdle. I don’t doubt for a second that y’all have my back, and I hope you guys know that I have yours. I think Kobe said it best when in this same situation. “There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.” And that’s exactly right. I will do everything in my power to get back right.

My journey to get to where I am today wasn’t by happenstance, I’ve pushed myself every day to be great. And I will continue to do just that. The most important part of this all, is that I’m grateful. I’m grateful for every single experience that’s led me here. I’m grateful for all the love from the hoop world. I don’t “have to” go through this, I get to go through this. I’m grateful for the road that lies ahead. Watch how I come back from this. So, give me some time, I’ll dust myself off and get right back to being the best version of Tyrese Haliburton.

Tyrese Haliburton has forever earned a fan in me. Insane run for him this post season. Played on this injury for 5 games straight, knowing the risk. Dude is an absolute warrior.

[🧙🏾‍♂️🧣 @Precision80]

If the Pacers win the championship the Public deserves to know every single player that called Haliburton the most overrated player in the nba

[Matt @sixringsofsteeI]

All of these in one playoff run is ridiculous

[A ✩ @adryanashton]

Jaylen Brown life so fire ngl he gets to stink it up all playoffs while making $300M and get away with no slander all bc he’s teammates with Tatum

[morgan battista @morgsb19]

Kelly Oubre Jr.'s second season with the Sixers is over. Should be remembered for his constant energy and a revamped approach as a driver which led to much better efficiency + decision-making.

A healthy Joel Embiid

[duckie @duckiesaf]

Did you know?

Joel Embiid averaged 30.5 Points per game in the first 3 Quarters of the 2023-24 Season

Thats the highest in any season since the NBA started tracking play by play data.
The next closest season is 2018-19 James Harden, who averaged 28.08 Points in the first 3Q.
