No. Only pdub hates embiid. Pretty sure everyone else still thinks he's lion killing badass. I think these comments say more about butler than Embiid. Embiid is a franchise player, a stud with an award winning troll game and personality. Whats not to like. Great guy to have connected to KU.

The offense hasn't changed THAT much with butler.

Embiid took 3.4 3pt attempts per game last year. He's taking 4.1 3pt attempts per game this year....Embiid took 13.4 2pt attempts per game last year. He's taking 14.5 2pt attempts per game this year.


Of Embiids 10 games this season with his most 3pt attempts, only 3 have come AFTER the Jimmy Butler trade...so there isn't some crazy change that's occurred in how/where Embiid is positioned on the court imo....he got frustrated with a few (really only 1, a loss) game stretch where the team struggled (against toronto) and he personally didn't play well...he should have not said what he said, but it's being blown out of proportion and twisted around to make it seem anti-coach and anti-butler when I don't think his actions or other recent interviews reflect those feelings....they're 9-3 since the trade. Trust the process, right?
Nobody here is saying that the offense has changed except Joel. You are arguing with him not me.

Probably the most likable NBAer since Shaq.

And, at the exact opposite end of the spectrum: Jimmy Butler.

Embiid is like if Illanoy was one of the best basketball players in the world. Some of you would like his persona and constant antagonising and bravado and social media obsession. Others wouldn’t.

I prefer a dude like Mason or TRob.

And I’m not doubting Embiids skill—I think he could win mvp— just not a fan of how he acts at this point in his career ( and I understand he probably does charity things like most players in the NBA do so don’t post a link to something like that ).

Seems like a lot of the casual fans on social media are turning against him after this.

Graham may not be on the active roster, but he gets to sit by MJ and watch home games.
