37/13/7 and this is the post? Clearly a defensive foul and widely known Embiid goes to the ground intentionally (doctors told him to) to take pressure off his legs when he loses balance.
How is that a defensive foul. Feet are set and embiid barges into him with his shoulder??? Also a flop and a fine.
Feet aren’t set, never establishes legal guarding position. Don’t let all the hate cloud your vision
Why isn’t he telling the refs that he wasn’t fouled?
most hated.
I love watching people getting so mad over Embiid but at the same time he is balling out so they can’t really say shit 😂
To explain to people who don’t understand how to fall to protect yourself, he got tangled up trying to spin around the defender so was on his way down, it’s safer to fall on your back so he continued to spin to try and land on his back which he successfully does. Trying to brace yourself with an extended arm is increasing your risk of getting it snapped, if he tried to keep his feet more planted on the floor he could have twisted a ligament.
You’re blind. He completely stops, fully stationary, before spinning and falling to the ground.
Clear blocking foul. The defender is still moving his feet during contact and Embiid is trying to avoid falling on top of him
Defenders are allowed to move their feet when drawing a charge how many times do people have to be told this
He didn’t need to do a 360 though. That’s why people are calling it a flop/exaggeration. But yeah, the defender moved a bit at the end otherwise it could’ve been an offensive foul.
Sixers fans are completely incapable of admitting Embiid is the bigger flopper of all time.
Sixers fans will be like “nope, the defender moved 2 inches to the left which means Embiid actually gets to elbow them in the head”
of all time? cope harder.
Looks like some dolphin shit at sea world
Look at that clean corkscrew at the end.
If you slow it down, you can clearly see he was shot mid spin, haha
What a spectacular corkscrew we’re seeing this
morningevening.Neymar would be proud
The man is too reckless with his body
I used to play like Embiid, he is reckless on purpose.
I used to eat like Jokic. He is fat on purpose.
One of the GOAT copypastas
Streetball court Shaq was a great Dear Diary moment.
I know this sounds crazy but he supposedly does this on purpose to protect his body actually it is how he has been less injury prone the last 2 seasons, as he used to fall on particular parts of his body causing injuries now he makes sure he lands in a way that spreads out the force of falling. https://www.nbcsports.com/nba/news/joel-embiid-falls-down-a-lot-because-his-doctors-told-him-to
Yes, it sounds crazy because it is crazy.
“I was told that every time I feel like I’m in a situation where it’s going to be some type of extreme [weight] on my leg, I’ve got to dive or just roll onto the floor. So that’s why I do it.” - this explains a lot thanks for posting…so funny tho and I can’t tell if he’s trolling or if his docs really said that. haha.
I mean he had a foot injury that kept him out right after he was drafted, and basketball is just a tough sport for your feet (amplified by being a giant like Embiid) so I believe it
Why arent all the other injury proun players do that? Porzingis as an example?
Porzingis is a bit less bulky & plays less physical than embiid, I’d imagine that plays a role. Tbf I doubt he’s asked to flop as much and as theatrically as he does, but I buy the idea that taking pressure off his feet and on to his body could prevent injuries.
You shouldn’t fall with full force onto your joints at his weight. I’m sure the dipshit teenagers in this thread will understand.
Yeah, jockeys are taught this when falling off their mounts. Tuck and roll.
Bro what is this title lmao
that was ahcually a 720, the forbidden move
he’s gotta flip that in and he gets a 10 from the Russian jusge
I honestly think he was just trying to fall on his back and it turned out looking like he was sniped. It’s a flop, but I think he’s way too tall to afford just falling naturally
That’s absolutely what he did, he didn’t want to catch his whole weight with his face or arms so he went to his back. But that doesn’t matter to the haters.
Bro…come on now. You in fantasy land.
behind the backbaord, euro stepping through traffic and leaning back to get the only angle possible at the hoop
this is what people slander him for in every fucking thread. Watch it again, he flops but this aint it. What Chris Paul did literally last night is 100x worse than this.
The Neymar of NBA
No look 360 dolphin dive flop? That’s a Shaqtin’.
Sixers fans: “How come you guys don’t like watching Embiid play?!”
