Joel Embiid on the thinking behind his hit-ahead passes tonight: “I see all these guys. I’m here to help out. According to a lot of your peers, I’m not even a top 100 basketball player in this league. So I guess I just gotta fit in and see where I can help the team win.”

1. Gotta actually play to be a top 100 player.

2. Oh, fuck off.

3. Embiid is such a troll that I don’t know if he actually believes what he is saying or just saying it to bait people into reacting to him.

4. mvp (and two time runner up) crying about not being ranked top 100 from random beat reporters because he doesn’t play

5. I love when the players point out how dumb the media is.

6. Well, they’re right. When you paid top bucks and have almost half the games posting 0/0/0 for 0 minutes, then you might actually have worse impact than anactual Top 100 player (Top 100 player is someone like Andrew Wiggins)

7. back to his regularly-scheduled bitching to the media

8. His knees are top 200 in the league that’s why he couldn’t crack the top 100 players list

9. Injuries suck but ye

10. Maybe actually play more games? You are paid an obscene amount of money and do less than the bare minimum to warrant said money. Shut up.

11. I feel like you have to play to be top 100?

12. He bitches more than plays basketball.

13. He’s really playing the victim again?

14. Shut yo out for the year in a week ass up

15. Lmao love embiid for this

16. You have to actually play to be a top-100 *player*

17. Dude is having a laugh and y’all in here crying

18. Damn yall really hate Embiid 😂

19. embiid really can say anything and y’all get upset

20. Dude they “Gave” you the MVP trophy in a season that you clearly did not deserve and you are still bitter about your coverage?? You sir are insufferable.

21. according to their peers? or according to yourself?

    if you’re following the actions of that claim then maybe it’s what *you* believe lmao

22. He’s basically Zion at this point.

23. Pickme behavior

24. Dude thinks he’s a victim 

25. I forgot he was even in the league

26. This man has never been healthy for a whole season his entire career. At some point the press will drop him from “Our Top 100 list” purely because they know he’s probably only going to play 30 games

27. I love when Joel pisses of the clowns in here. Angry for no reason. Hoping for a huge year for this great.

28. a hate thread already is crazy work

    we are so back

29. ESPN ranked him 47th coming into this season, behind Jamal Murray and ahead of Mikal Bridges

    For a guy who won MVP only a few years ago im sure that feels like outside of top 100

30. Probably last less than 30 games

31. So much hate for a joke. This sub is something.

    Also, him not being in the top players list is another joke. And I’m not even a fan.

32. This guy is always hobbling around

33. Obviously a joke but the implication that those outside the top 100 are the only ones that have to fit in and see where they can help the team win tells something about why he’s been a playoff bust every year.

34. He strained his vocal chords while saying that, out for 10-12 weeks. Can’t be top player if you ain’t playin DAWWWWG
