The thought of seeing Joel Embiid wear another teams uniform is not one I like…
Is he perfect? Of course not, his body has failed him over & over. But I’m rocking with @JoelEmbiid until he calls it a career & I hope that’s in Philly
The most talented/under appreciated big ever
He's the franchise player, so he's going to wear this, but Joel Embiid is playing harder than any other Sixer. I get the frustrations over his injuries, but the guy is giving all his body will allow.
typing this out now for when it inevitably happens and my head explodes into a million pieces: the Sixers org is going to try to play off the Celtics series as proof of the org's "success" and that they're on the right track.
They will be lying, in my opinion.
This is how I do it:
- spent his first two years hurt, yet persevered
- lost his brother, but persevered
- joke front office, including one GM who trashed him behind a burner
- became the best player on the planet
- never asked for a trade
- played through countless injuries
.@JoelEmbiid’s story should be that he didn’t start playing basketball until high school & became one of the best & most skilled players of all time.
But your tweet was spot on. If people truly knew what Joel has played through, they would appreciate him even more.
