Embiid was exposed the moment he became 'American' to chase a championship at the Olympics. He accepted that this was the only way he'd win anything, and he took the easy way out.
-
It's crazy you can't call him a bad player, but at the same time he looks like a terrible player. Most underachieved MVP ever, injure prone, has more flagrant than DRAYMOND. He's just... Idk
-
Embiid complaining that lebron Steph and kd aren’t the players they used to be while he’s the one who never was 😂
-
Alternate title: Embiid being exposed on how NBA favors his flopping.
-
Think you left out the fact he asked Emmanuel Macron to give him citizenship it wasn't just an interview with a french representative
-
"I will take the nightmare and EASY GOLD in a heart beat. No brainer." - Pity MVP
-
to sum in up, Embiid doesn't play well under Kerr's system because Embiid needs the ball and is static.
-
Casey has a point. Embiid isn’t giving enough effort. You see when Embiid plays bad he just gives up. A guy that gives all the effort is a guy like Steph. He ahot 0-6 from 3 and 1-9 from the field, yet he still gave effort setting screens and playmaking. If Embiid did that he would be less hated and more respected.

Imagine Steve Kerr benched Curry or LeBron the country would be rioting
-
That’s why he should’ve played for Cameroon like all the other foreign stars have
-
the real messed up story is that if you're an elite athlete, you can basically gain citizenship of any country in the world. meanwhile the rest of humanity has to go over the ocean on a truck tyre and seek for asylum.
-
If the olympics is exposing Embiid then it’s also exposing curry and Tatum 😂
-
Bro gets so many passes its ridiculous not to mention he's a ft merchant he is tryin to draw fouls in scrimmage
-
Most flagrants, baits fouls, flops, injures players, blames teammates. Yeah he should be most hated
-
He doesn’t play winning basketball at the highest level and it shows. He’s good at dropping 30-40 in January against the hornets and wizards but when defenses get serious and double him and scheme around him he’s incapable of adjusting. He’s a great player but not tip top tier and can’t be a 1 option.
-
The Spanish have a good phrase for guys who switch teams based upon who’s winning - jaccaderro or however you spell it. Playing for ones country is a huge honour and pulling an Embid is lame af.
-
Still don't know how he won mvp people gave him too much credit for doing what he was supposed to been doing

Embiid had his statistically best game (15 pts on 5 of 6 shooting) against the same team South Sudan last week that he held a DNP recently against as well. Put up 15 pts and led Team USA in rebounds and assists against Germany too. He was obviously recruited to the USA by Grant Hill to play in certain match-ups to avoid France having that big man advantage over the USA. What hasn't helped either is playing Embiid with 3 guards defensively whilst Bam and AD play together in double big lineups. This is all whilst Embiid is adjusting to FIBA for the first time in his career and coming off injury (you can tell he's out of shape). Team USA has won games without using all their players including Embiid, Tatum and Haliburton and also win WITH them playing significant minutes. \n\nJust making a mountain of a molehill and just using Embiid for clicks at this point.

And they gave this guy an mvp!

Embiid is actually playing for France don't you realize that? Looks like Kerr already noticd 😂😂😂
