People are criticising Embiid because he -wants- to go to the line, so he plays to go to the line, even if he is capable to do the same stuff without it.

Giannis really -doesnt want- to go to the line, yet defences know the only real way to stop him is to make him go to the line.

I’m pretty sure “the Mutombo” was Embid expecting the whistle, cause he got all wrist, and trying to deny the call, since he looks at the ref and not giannis while doing it
