Hes saying playing basketball is a gift theyre not building skyscrapers and houses the real tough jobs so there's no reason these guys shouldn't be playing.
"One of the reasons why my husband played through injuries and pain was because he remembered being a little kid, sitting in the nosebleeds with his dad and watching his favorite player play. I remember asking him why he couldn’t just sit a game out because he was hurting. He said, 'What about the fans that saved up to watch me play just once?' He never forgot about his fans. If he could help it, he would play every minute of every game. He loved you all so much." - Vanessa Bryant
When healthy he is the best center in the game unless you're racist. Jk Do ppl not get that some players bodies just don't hold up to the grind?!? They haven't legitimately been in contention in 40 yrs!!! You're going to jeopardize that for regular season games? Two play in teams got to the Conference Finals. One got to the championship round. The East can't stay healthy. Milwaukee is taking themselves out of contention. Boston spams low % shots and Porzingas is basically what Joel would be if he played. In a suit. This might be Philly's best shot to the Finals.
to chucks point, Jordan had a huge injury in his early years and it killed him not being able to play, came back early against doctors orders, and Kobe had multiple injuries and still played, if he’s not injured and not playing that’s on him
Allen iverson must be disgusted with the sixers. That guy played huge minutes, got knocked to the floor by big guys every night. never wanted to come out of the game
Exactly like your a BASKETBALL PLAYER I can think of so many “fans” who would love to play basketball and be a BASKETBALL PLAYER if he’s not hooping what is he? A tall ass dude who should be helping people get stuff off the top shelf at walmart

Fr. The worst part is they completely ignore Giannis that year so they could build the narrative that Embiid deserved it for being 2 way player and scored lots of points
I am old enough to remember 20 years of Karl Malone and John Stockton playing together, 82 games a year plus deep playoff runs. I remember Dennis Rodman and Michael Jordan playing Championship basketball hung over. The legendary stories of how well conditioned the best players in the league during the 80s and 90s were numerous. How can today's players be so injury prone, with today's modern medicine and these teams hiring the best conditioning teams money can buy.
The reason why today's players are so injury prone is the exact same reason responsible for the astronomical rise in diabetes, obesity, cancer and heart disease rates. The criminals who run society into the ground have completely fxcked up the food supply.

Owners would never even dream of that. More games=more revenue. I theory everyone wants to field a Championship team, but that's secondary especially in large cities with loyalties. Cash rolls in every game night..I just need 5 guys to suit up
I don’t think you can compare Kawhi yes In recent history he has been like that but he still has done what embed has not. in his time when he was healthy he proved he’s a playoff riser not a dropper, he proved he can make it to conference finals, he proved he can win a championship, he proved he can win the finals mvp and he did this twice while also being one of the best defenders in the league.
I like kawhi but if he's this hindered by his knee then he needs to retire and stop wasting his n the teams time it ain't like another title will push him over alot of guys all time he's a hall of famer regardless at this point

I was more so just saying that kawhi legacy is cemented he’s not in the same vein as embiid due to all of things kawhi did accomplish
@@leobreed9563 yea I agree suppose your child or you want to see a player play that day and you go and they not playing that wouldn't bother you ? I know you work hard for your money
I don't understand this generation of NBA players. Their practices aren't as physical as the practices as before. The game itself is less physical overall. Embiid doesn't even play in the post like that either. Michael Jordan's trainer said there is no substitute for lifting heavy weights to prepare your body physically for the wear and tear. Jordan at the age of 40 played all 82 games in the regular season. Season after season the Bulls made the deepest post season runs and most of them esp Jordan played damn near every game without rest. No PED's either...
What’s crazy is it’s proven that not playing doesn’t mean you’re not going to get injured case in point PG & Kawhi. Shaq said you can’t foresee injuries
Exactly. “Load management” is not the same thing as playing less to “reduce the probability of an injury”. It’s the management of overall physical wear and tear, which is usually relevant for people with long-term issues, who are recovering from an injury, or who are older players.
Michael Jordan had a "for the love of the game" clause in his contract, that said he could play basketball whenever he wanted and if he got injured, it wouldn't affect his contract. Think about it: he wanted to play so much, he put a clause in his contract basically saying, "YOU CAN'T STOP ME FROM PLAYING!" These guys today are DIVAS. Adam Silver literally had to change the rules to give these guys incentive to play. As if the millions and millions they receive isn't enough incentive.
Gosh, i love Chuck for acknowledging the working people of this country and i love it when Shaq drops his guard and gets humble and loose like this, Shaq's tale of his injuring two stomach muscles doing the Mertin Hanks imitation was freakin gold!!!
And the media got on allen Iverson for skipping practice but would die on the court for philly but we legit cant even get dudes to play back to back thats crazy lol
Embiid getting paid over $60M a year to sit out games. He better not get voted into any all NBA team. I can tell you right now, he doesn't deserve to be a Hall Of Famer, even though dumb voters will put him in there.
By far the best show on sports TV. Puts sports and life in perspective. I don't know how they do it but I feel better about my day just listening to these guys.
Jokic played longer in last playoffs, played every single game for Serbian team 30+ minutes per game and he is killing it since the start of this season. All this while gaining weight. And then you have Joel, scared to play. Amazing how ppl have nerve to compare him with Jokic.
Charles is the voice of reason. As a long suffering philly fan, Charles is 100% correct. Close to 65 million a year and Joel is not playing in back to back games? That surely can't be allowed to happen. I would love to see my boss's reaction if I asked him if I could come to work every 2nd day
The minute this man cried for not being MVP a few years ago... Showed you that he is no role model, will never be a champion and as long as Skip Bayless roots for this man... Philadelphia will never achieve an Eastern conference appearance! Y so serious 😈🥃🃏
Let bro heal so he can perform damn, if he play and don’t perform they just gonna criticize him if he play and not perform it’s a lose lose so let him take care of himself
This is a crazy idea and I don't know exactly how it can be implemented. How about the NBA creates a policy where if a superstar player sits out a game, the team issues a partial refund to the fans, based on how much the superstar is earning. For example, someone like Curry or Luka might lead to a 25% refund. Someone like LeBron a 30% refund etc. This will force teams to be a little more careful about the contract they offer their superstars.
That's a good idea. That'd be much more effective than the MVP rules alone they added. The real loser from all of it is the fans and thatd remedy that real quick.
This load management and players not playing hard during the regular season is destroying the NBA brand. David Stern would have never allowed things to have gotten to this point.
What I appreciate about this segment is that they provide criticism that’s fair and balanced. Kenny made a great point, noting that Embiid needs to get in shape to play his best. Playing fewer games could lead to him losing his rhythm.
If you're not going to play, you shouldn't get paid. Take very players contract, and divide it by 82. For everyone of those 82 games you miss, you lose the money for that game. So take the players salary, and divide it by the amount of games they played, and that's what they get paid. If I have to show up every day to work, so do basketball players
He got hurt last season but that didn’t stop him from playing in the Olympics this summer and according to some media complaining about his playing time.
Embiid just wants to be healthy to be available for playoffs!! I respect it!! He has played injured before!! I would normally agree, but Embiid is an outlier!! 💯💯💯
I've been a Sixers fan since I was a child. As a young child I even saw Wilt Chamberlain play. Wilt Chamberlain the true goat. I'm having a hard time being a Sixers fan what's Joel embiid on the court. Allen Iverson and Julius Erving were a amazing Sixers to watch.
Years ago players had to play to get payed. It was a risk players took knowing no play, no pay Now good players, only sign with teams that will let them decide when they are healthy enough to play. The owners let the players make their own contracts and decisions. Now good players get paid to not play and be able to sign stay in the league many more years , because they play less and never have to worry about getting injured It’s gone from pay to get paid to play less and make more money for not having to play. Go Figure that one out. 😂
Embiid has earned the right to do this after what he has brought to Philly and to the organization. No it's not ideal for an MVP player and arguably one of the greatest big men in history to flat out sit to start the year but he's obv hurting and wants to play at 100%. Non story
Charles said he's never heard a great player say they're not gonna play back-to-back games. And he still hasn't. Embiid isn't great, and he didn't deserve that MVP award.
2:40 THANK YOU SHAQ. People keep forgetting it was a freak accident that would've happened regardless of his condition. Embiid sitting out games will make him careless about avoiding injuries in the first place.

Season after season the Bulls made the deepest post season runs and most of them esp Jordan played damn near every game without rest. No PED's either...
Embiid isn’t this gen he’s 30 lmfao
What’s crazy is it’s proven that not playing doesn’t mean you’re not going to get injured case in point PG & Kawhi. Shaq said you can’t foresee injuries
Exactly. “Load management” is not the same thing as playing less to “reduce the probability of an injury”. It’s the management of overall physical wear and tear, which is usually relevant for people with long-term issues, who are recovering from an injury, or who are older players.
With the holiday season coming up, I’m already letting my employer know I can’t do back to back weekends also, I don’t blame the man
Lmaoo good one
Are you getting paid 193 mill over 3 years as well?
love chuck
Michael Jordan had a "for the love of the game" clause in his contract, that said he could play basketball whenever he wanted and if he got injured, it wouldn't affect his contract. Think about it: he wanted to play so much, he put a clause in his contract basically saying, "YOU CAN'T STOP ME FROM PLAYING!" These guys today are DIVAS. Adam Silver literally had to change the rules to give these guys incentive to play. As if the millions and millions they receive isn't enough incentive.
How can this channel play more highlights from Inside the NBA than 'NBA on TNT' channel?
7:35 "oh i thought it inspired you to work out more..." haha
I've missed you guys so much!. Glad the show continues 🎉🎉
Gosh, i love Chuck for acknowledging the working people of this country and i love it when Shaq drops his guard and gets humble and loose like this, Shaq's tale of his injuring two stomach muscles doing the Mertin Hanks imitation was freakin gold!!!
And the media got on allen Iverson for skipping practice but would die on the court for philly but we legit cant even get dudes to play back to back thats crazy lol
AI had a poor reputation character wise
That was the beginning of the end. Practice matters..
"We're not steel workers, we're not nurses, like people who have real jobs" - God bless Chuck
Embiid getting paid over $60M a year to sit out games.
He better not get voted into any all NBA team.
I can tell you right now, he doesn't deserve to be a Hall Of Famer, even though dumb voters will put him in there.
He's a first ballot hall of famer
mvp mvp mvp.....better than jokic......
@@danmalic6688jokic actually wants to ball
are they gonna do both tuesdays and thursdays every week or just this week?
It's probably just this week since it's the first week of the season. Tuesdays is going to be the other panel Candace Parker, Vince Carter and Shaq
Wonder how his Cameroon brothers that struggling would think about this ??
Ernie is the glue here. Everyone excellent but this show wouldn’t be this show without Ernie. I have they can keep this going
If he's so worried about injuries . Why did he go play for the Olympic team ! The guy is over paid and knows he is guaranteed that money ....
By far the best show on sports TV. Puts sports and life in perspective. I don't know how they do it but I feel better about my day just listening to these guys.
Who made the decision? If Embiid decided this then hate him all day but if this was Nick Nurse how can you criticize Joel?
Jokic played longer in last playoffs, played every single game for Serbian team 30+ minutes per game and he is killing it since the start of this season. All this while gaining weight. And then you have Joel, scared to play.
Amazing how ppl have nerve to compare him with Jokic.
So why was he on the Olympic team? The main objective of an NBA player is to be ready when the season starts. That's what he is getting paid for.
Thats the difference between todays NBA players vs Old School Players
National Cupcake League now. Used to be my favorite sports league.
82 GAMES! That’s what the job calls for! … Man, we done with this era, bro. We respect them for what they do, but we done.
- Thank you, KG
Come on Charles. 190 million doesn't go as far as it used to.
Charles is the voice of reason. As a long suffering philly fan, Charles is 100% correct. Close to 65 million a year and Joel is not playing in back to back games? That surely can't be allowed to happen. I would love to see my boss's reaction if I asked him if I could come to work every 2nd day
The minute this man cried for not being MVP a few years ago... Showed you that he is no role model, will never be a champion and as long as Skip Bayless roots for this man... Philadelphia will never achieve an Eastern conference appearance!
Y so serious 😈🥃🃏
How long are they supposed “to trust the process”😂😂😂😂
Let bro heal so he can perform damn, if he play and don’t perform they just gonna criticize him if he play and not perform it’s a lose lose so let him take care of himself
The NBA has shifted from sport to entertainment. It’s an absolute disgrace to the players who came before.
Imagine calling in at ur job saying yea i know work started but im not ready yet 😂
This is a crazy idea and I don't know exactly how it can be implemented. How about the NBA creates a policy where if a superstar player sits out a game, the team issues a partial refund to the fans, based on how much the superstar is earning. For example, someone like Curry or Luka might lead to a 25% refund. Someone like LeBron a 30% refund etc. This will force teams to be a little more careful about the contract they offer their superstars.
That's a good idea. That'd be much more effective than the MVP rules alone they added. The real loser from all of it is the fans and thatd remedy that real quick.
When Chuck and Shaq say you need to be in better shape you probably need to listen
This load management and players not playing hard during the regular season is destroying the NBA brand. David Stern would have never allowed things to have gotten to this point.
What I appreciate about this segment is that they provide criticism that’s fair and balanced. Kenny made a great point, noting that Embiid needs to get in shape to play his best. Playing fewer games could lead to him losing his rhythm.
If you're not going to play, you shouldn't get paid. Take very players contract, and divide it by 82. For everyone of those 82 games you miss, you lose the money for that game. So take the players salary, and divide it by the amount of games they played, and that's what they get paid. If I have to show up every day to work, so do basketball players
With Embiid having a dramatic start to this season. I hope that AD can remain consistent and be part of this year's MVP candidates.
I love the honesty of Shag how you can injurer by just doing that thank you TNT
The Merton Hanks line got me so good
I keep hearing "full squirt scrimmages"
Kenny actually with a good analogy with the bad driving lol
Very good commentary guys. The stuff about Embiid was great especially what Kenny had to say.
Nobody gonna point out that disgusting stunt he pulled with his fingers??😂😂
He got hurt last season but that didn’t stop him from playing in the Olympics this summer and according to some media complaining about his playing time.
Ernie “Hey, there’s Wemby. He added 25 lbs”
Kenny “So did Shaq and Chuck” 😂
Kenny Smith is a menace lol
$3,135,118.17. The amount Embid has made so far from the bench.
When Wiseman Look back that gave me flashback of KD when He had gotten hurt the same way.
One thing you do understand we do have all this access in USA ! To watch all these shows…
Man, I use to mute charles whenever he came on. Now he's absolutely one of my favorites. He's spot on.
And the talking heads gave this guy the mvp over Jokic. What a joke.
Embiid just wants to be healthy to be available for playoffs!! I respect it!! He has played injured before!! I would normally agree, but Embiid is an outlier!! 💯💯💯
I've been a Sixers fan since I was a child. As a young child I even saw Wilt Chamberlain play. Wilt Chamberlain the true goat. I'm having a hard time being a Sixers fan what's Joel embiid on the court. Allen Iverson and Julius Erving were a amazing Sixers to watch.
The MVP that Joel did win belongs to Jokic…
Years ago players had to play to get payed. It was a risk players took knowing no play, no pay
Now good players, only sign with teams that will let them decide when they are healthy enough to play. The owners let the players make their own contracts and decisions.
Now good players get paid to not play and be able to sign stay in the league many more years , because they play less and never have to worry about getting injured
It’s gone from pay to get paid to play less and make more money for not having to play. Go Figure that one out. 😂
Embiid has earned the right to do this after what he has brought to Philly and to the organization. No it's not ideal for an MVP player and arguably one of the greatest big men in history to flat out sit to start the year but he's obv hurting and wants to play at 100%. Non story
That’s why I laugh when people say that 80’s and 90’s ball players wouldn’t stand a chance against these players today 🤣
Charles said he's never heard a great player say they're not gonna play back-to-back games.
And he still hasn't. Embiid isn't great, and he didn't deserve that MVP award.
I think it's fine, you wanna play em half the games, ok. Charge half price for Sixers tickets, so it's fair for everyone.
Drummond best backup in league 😂😂😂
These 4 should start a Podcast
And it gets WORSE
2:40 THANK YOU SHAQ. People keep forgetting it was a freak accident that would've happened regardless of his condition. Embiid sitting out games will make him careless about avoiding injuries in the first place.
Ninjas are becoming more Jamarcus Russell on the term of lazy everyday now
Its hard staying patient while listening to Chuck lol
Chuck was on point about this on opening night. Well done.
Kenny looks like a stud with that hair on his face 😂😂😂😂
