that fake into the dunk is sick

u/Instantcoffees Warriors 4h ago

The amount of raw talent for the game this guy has at his size is just absurd. It continues to blow my mind considering how late he started playing.

u/darkjurai Knicks 2h ago

He’s in the starting lineup so he couldn’t have started that late.

u/Grappler_BP [MIA] LeBron James 1h ago

15 is a late start for a pro. Especially compared to pretty much all of his peers

•

u/darkjurai Knicks 25m ago

Ok. Starting lineup usually all starts at the same time. It's the bench that typically starts late.

I think Embiid at the elbow is still the most undefendable shot in the league.

LeBron complained about his ball watching, which led to James having to draw that contact

I do remain tired of the perpetual Embiid hate boner on this cesspool of a sub

You better hope y’all finally win that championship because the memes are going to be generational… no pressure!

u/MysteriousPrize8418 76ers 1h ago

Do you think it’ll be as embarrassing as giving up a 3-1 lead in the first round and then trading your best player to that same team?

-3

u/BuddhistInTheory Celtics 1h ago

No. I’m content with what happened in 2024, though. You should try it sometime.

Why did he have to go for that second MVP? :(

What???? He was running away with it and kuminga dove on his knee wym

u/camscars775 76ers 4h ago

Immediately after everyone was calling him a bitch for the team ruling him out for the Denver game too

He was cooked regardless with that kuminga injury

u/haiyabinzukii NBA 4h ago

As much as I like this lineup- it'd take a miracle for LeBron and Embiid both to play 33% of the games together.

u/TommyTaintSlapper 3h ago

Dog, did you just join this sub? Since the moment Embiid stepped on the floor, probably since the Process actually started, the hate boner for the Sixers on this sub has been poking everyone in the small of their back repeatedly.

It’s been a cesspool for literal years

Strange, every highlight is of the Sixers and they lost the game

6

u/AngryUncleTony 76ers 3h ago

I mean I didn't watch the game so no context beyond literally this highlight, but that makes sense sort of, right? It's preseason, the result doesn't matter. It's how certain players look individually and together. People were shitting on Embiid the other day for his bad play, praising him now for good play.

0

u/Loud-Appointment-301 Celtics 3h ago

Nah, I know the result doesn't matter, just struck me funny. I didn't get to watch the game, but came on here to scroll for highlights and found literally 6 Sixer highlights and that incredible travel by Hugo

u/robeyn10 76ers 3h ago

flexing a preseason win against the team that bounced y’all last year

Wow one playoff series win, that’s a real flex right there.. Compared to all the times Boston beat Philly? You proceeded to get swept iirc

Yikes is right. How do you lose this game?

u/Loud-Appointment-301 Celtics 2h ago

Dude wasn’t alive in 1983, so he has no point of reference. A series win in his lifetime feels amazing. Sad really.

u/OriginalCrawnick Celtics 1h ago

Flexing a rookie bench/g-league dominating your best players - more like it. You just traded for the reason we lost last year lol
