Stephen A really wants Embiid in New York to the point he is creating narratives😂😂😂
this is why ppl hate ESPN.. creating narratives just to have something to talk about
SAS is an idiot we don't want Embid or need him
Embiid would ruin the Knicks
Booker, Embiid, Lebron. Who else? lol
@@RR-in7do he was injured and easily the best player in that series
Embiid can’t be the face of the Franchise but Zion who has yet to play a SINGLE playoff game for the pelicans can according to Stephen A..cmon my guy
Zion cant either
He only knows how to throw people under the bus when it goes wrong.
Both aren’t reliable
@@Lesartistes101 I know that’s what I’m saying..When Stephen talks about the pelicans he’ll talk about how they need to build around Zion, he’s the face etc
League MVP… But not the face of the franchise. Really?
Playoffs always show how important the role players are because it can’t just be your best players doing everything
@Suns & @Lakers 😂😂😂
Exactly. Tobias and Lowry had 0, that’s TWO starters. Philly can not win with Embiid carrying the team 90% of the time.
@@carlosdcpcg 😂😂
The problem is that Embiid plays really bad when it matters the most and can't close out important games. In quarters 1-3, he played as well as in the regular season, averaging 8,8 points per quarter. But in tight 4th quarters (all games except game 3) he averaged 4 points! Think about that, that's an average of 16 pts/game. Dude simply can't play well under pressure.
Yup that’s why the Nuggets are so dominant
"4th quarter yelling why tf Tobias in." 🤣🤣🤣
Tyrese maxey is pissed lol
Shouldn't be. Sixers ain't win a championship in over 40 years.
@@justinkanicki8044 Knicks shouldn't be pissed when they lose too.
He the reason 76ers lost this one.
@@jasonphan2001nah
I honestly think PG would go to LAL before PHI tbh. To say he loves his home town LA is an understatement
I never believed in the Paul George hype just being honest
He’s not playing for Lebron James
@@ashtonchapman2613 Why not? He's always been a Laker fan and him and Lebron are actually friends too.
Lakers ain’t go no money to pay that man or pieces that are valuable in trading to make cap space.
D-lo stock is down and Rui stock was never high to begin with.
Reaves is only piece on that team that teams will actually take in a package deal BUT lakers are NOT going to give him up.
If I’m a owner of a team I’m not helping the lakers to get another ⭐️ player
His options if he wants money and to be on a good team is to stay with the clippers or go to Philly or Orlando. Philly and Orlando are the only two playoff teams that have cap space opening up.
He is the franchise.. Harris had no points 😂😂😂
Harris is going to be gone from there. He’s not a star. He’s a third option on a good team but too inconsistent.
Harris a bumb
You not going to win a championship with embiid he always hurt when you really need him I’m Maxey I’m leaving
Embiid is literally the perfect star for max to play with and in a closeout game six to be honest and be was not the problem max he should’ve played a lot better couldn’t get calls in the lane. Couldn’t make shots and beat at 39 and 13 he was +44 in the series, I think the supporting cast is what let them down
@@beani243293rd options y’all been saying for years just for exactly the same invaluable performance. Keeping him over Jimmy Butler
Tobias Harris only attempting 2 shots is even more telling. It's one thing to have a rough shooting night, but to be paid so much and only attempt 2 shots in an elimination game? Brutal stuff. I continue to feel bad for Embiid. Dude averaged 33 PPG, 10 RPG, and almost 6 APG in this series and didn't have much help other than Maxey.
Embiid is 30 now, he is who he is. You can't win with him as your number 1
Has the knees of someone 42
He's got like 2 years left as a top 10 player before his body completely breaks down.
Well Maxey is good but he's not 1st option for a championship team good when embiid doesn't play Maxey is horrible
So yall just gonna ignore the fact that Tobias Harris who gets paid 40 million a year had no points at all
@@RR-in7do i think this is accurate
Embiid is the “franchise player” that usually leads “his” team to the second round. he couldn’t even do that this season 😂
"Tobias Harris Over Me"
paul george will be a fool to sign with philly lol, they just gonna make him the nba scapegoat when embiid chokes again
go new York go new York go
Embid cannot be face of Franchise but if you ask him he will choose Embid over joker every-time.
Lol Stephen A is so dumb. Maxey has been horrible without Embiid this series. Dude shot 25% FG without Joel on the floor lol. And shot 54 TS% without Joel in the regular season this season. He's nowhere near being the face of the Sixers nor is he good enough to be as he can't consistently create his own shot when defenses focus on him and he's only good at scoring.
Yep, in the games Maxey played without Embiid this season, the Sixers had a record worse than the Hornets. Only a clown would claim Maxey should be the face of the Sixers but the guys on ESPN are all clowns so I'm not shocked that this is their conclusion.
They need to let Embiid go because they don’t value such a great talent, any team would kill to have Embiid on there roster.
@@hwright85 Maxey is a product of Embiids gravity and playmaking. Its why he's been terrible for the most part when Embiid got hurt. Anyone with two eyes knows Embiid is the face of the Sixers and its not remotely close either.
No one speaks on that at all about how bad he’s been this series without Embiid on the floor, he’s vastly improved and will get better, but he’s not there yet
People don’t really believe in Maxey’s star so he doesn’t get the criticism. He was bad against Boston last year too.
Guy had 39 on one leg and half a face.
and lost, get him out of here
you mean the guy that got a foul from defenders breathing on him? yeah okay.
@@jerms99did you watch Brunson get the same treatment?
@@jerms99don’t forget the jumpers he drilled in dudes face.
@@PeachysGaming i saw joel embiid shoulder check jb, pull mitch down from mid air, kick the nuts of a player, slap jb across the face 4 times in the series. step on josh harts leg purposefully. i saw joel embiid have more fouls than the whole knicks team.
As a fan, this year I'm not blaming Embiid. His effort is not in question. He was amazing in that game and exceeded expectations when you consider his health.
Maxey was not having a good game and he was too focused on getting calls, Nick Nurse had idiotic lineups out there in big time moments, Tobias Harris is not a threat and did absolutely nothing in 29min of play. The team in general is too focused on out-talenting other teams instead of having an actual offense with schemes and counters. The defense only ever peaks in desperation situations instead of staying tough and consistent throughout.
Should've never got rid of Matisse, we need to remove Tobias Harris from the team, sign more athletic players that can rebound and defend, and stop making so many excuses. Stop relying on the refs to win you the game
WHO'S FAULT IS IT. EVERY YEAR ITS SOMEBODY ELSES FAULT. Embiid is a duck and a choke artist. The essay you wrote doesn't change that. Embiid is the only mvp to have never made a conference final. Embiid is averaging 7ppg less in the playoffs in his ENTIRE CAREER! HE IS 30 YEARS OLD.
@@SaySpawn He average around 35 a game this series. He did more than enough THIS series, there are questions about previous series but this one is far from his fault.
Tobias Harris over me?!
Embiid plays unreal ball for 40 games a season
Man looked like he ran 100 miles in the 1st round. Can you imagine him in a conference finals or a finals?
From "better than Jokic" to "not the face of the franchise" in less than 1 year. Only Stephen A can be wrong twice on the same argument contraddicting himself and still be considerate a basketball expert. 😆
Embiid is a duck and a choker. We all know it.💯
Sixers have to be the worst failed experiment. All that tanking and trust the process for.... this?
You really have to feel sorry for the fan base. Now they have to defend it to death instead of just accepting that the process has been a failure.
From the outside looking in, they failed to get a 3rd player to contribute..they didn’t expect Simmons and Harden to go south and Harris was a bad move to sign extension he’s a no show in games
@@danman462 I don't understand. From the outside looking in, they drafted Embiid (#3 in '14), Okafor (#3 in '15), Simmons (#1 in '16), and Fultz (#1 in '17). Plus you mentioned Harden and Harris, but left out Butler. Harris has had the second longest run over that time period and Embiid has still been there 4 years longer. There's one common denominator in the Sixers underachieving. Embiid is a great player, but the organization has actively tried to build a team around his skillset for ten years and it's gotten them nowhere.
@@kylebhouser I forgot about Fultz that was a disaster too..people would generally know when they mention signing Harris to the extension meaning Butler got pushed out, so really I didn’t fail to mention that..that’s where the “over me” stuff comes from..so again from the outside looking in, that 3rd piece is the under achieving part for me in my opinion..there’s no right or wrong answer just opinion
The process was a good idea it’s just that they made the wrong choices which results in this. Their line up could have been Embiid, Simmons, Butler, Tatum, Reddick, I don’t know how many teams beating that
Cowboys shade was priceless 😂
Embiid is a weapon. Perhaps the most powerful weapon in the league when he is healthy, but he is not a leader. He's a front runner. When he was down 0-2 and he felt like he wasn't getting calls, he quit. Him trying to injure Robinson was disgustingly dirty, but it was also an "i give up moment." He did something that should have gotten him tossed because things were not going his way. In game 6, when the lead got big, he quit. Went to the locker room. Then he saw the team battling back without him, so he came back. At every stretch where it seemed the Sixers had control of the game, Embiid was an engaged and active leader. Talking to his guys, cheering them, directing them. Every single time the Knicks punched back, Embiid looked like he was feeling sorry for himself and stopped rallying his troops.
"The most powerful weapon in the league" doesn't continuously let you down when it matters the most. He is a colossal choke artists and he shrinks when it matters the most
@@sdogg lol, it's a long comment. I get it. You don't want to read all that. However it's silly to respond to a comment if you haven't actually read it.
@@Michael_PageI agree with what you're saying, but he ain't the biggest weapon in the league IMO
Exactly he is such a weak guy mentally for the type of hype he likes to give himself. This is what makes him beyond overrated in the moments that matter. I knew I wasn’t the only one that noticed how the Sixers got back into the game after he cried and fled to the locker room
@@sdogg who is? Bro y'all wanna talk about joel so much but it wasn;t his fault the sixers lost or maxey joel and maxey carried all series
"The Process" just wants instant rewards, he wouldn't follow the actual process Jokic took to a title by learning how to help his teammates the most he can.
That cowboys statement is so true 😅😅😅
Go Knicks. Acknowledge Knicks and Acknowledge Brunson. Brunson will get MVP .
🤝congratulations, But win the chip then talk
Acknowledge you squeaked by a lesser team lol
dude it’s a new york show they’ve BEEN TALKING KNICKS. the fanbase are all babies
he's not getting mvp can guarantee u that lol its either between shai,jokic or luka
Acknowledge the fact that since Game 1 all of America (But Ny) thought Philly Was the better team and would Win.
I feel sorry for the Philly fans, "The Process" has been a failure and these poor fans have to defend a player and vision that juat isnt going to deliver them any championships or really any quality postseason runs.
I'm sorry Embiid and the process has let you down so hard.
Let them keep falling for it. Hilarious to watch them run into the same wall every year and act like they don’t know what the problem is 😂😂😂😂😂
After Tuesday’s Knicks loss, there was 48 of media bombardment of “Tyrese Maxey is the new messiah of basketball.” I am SO happy that is over. LET’S GO KNICKS!! 🗽
Ikr I'm not a Knicks fan so I wanted this to be a 7 game series cause these teams are entertaining af. But people went too far too early with the Maxey agenda. Nowadays they don't let young players develop.
Pacers about to wax ya. Calm down tiger 🐯
hes sure gonna be better than brunson in 2 years max
Maxey is a great player in some days but Jalen is a great player on most days.
Maxey will be better than Brunson next season, both will be top 15 players
I am by no means a Sixers fan but Embiid has been a MVP candidate for years. It’s silly to say anyone who is a MVP candidate isn’t a face of a franchise. And maybe it’s perfectly ok to have more than one face of a franchise
Y’all are disrespecting Latrell Sprewell by not having him in that post 73 all-time Knick conversation. Spree was the best player on the last New York Knicks team to get to the finals in lockout 99 and was the best player on the Knicks team that got to the ECF a year later, losing to the Pacers in 6. You could honestly make the case that he had a greater Knick tenure than Melo.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 stop it u silly Latrell was a good player but let’s not overrate him
@@jalynjones9136 Nah, John Starks was good as a Knick. Larry Johnson was good as a Knick. Gerald Wilkins was good as a Knick. Spree was better than good. RUclips has plenty of Sprewell Knick highlights to refresh your memory. Spree was a DOG! Look at his tenure as a Knick vs. Melo, who people actually OVERRATE. Tell me who took there teams further in playoff scenarios?
you forgot LINSANITY
I remember that SAS was kind of disappointed when JB was signed to the NYK😊. Il
He is the franchise lol I love maxey but he has another level to get to.
People were mad that the Knicks gave 100 million to Brunson.
I don’t recall nobody being mad ?

I'm convinced this cat purposely try to say the wildest things to get reactions
No matter what happens, JB is MY MVP. Boy, he brought the pride back.
As a Sixers fan, I will be on board with that. I love Embiid, but I think it is time for him to take the backseat and let the Maxey be the man now. He got his MVP, and he has the skill set to adapt because he is a tremendous talent. He does call Maxey “The Franchise”, and he’s that dude. Prioritize Maxey more so Embiid in roster building. The Sixers shouldn’t move Embiid, but Embiid will have to adapt and I believe that’s the way forward.
Maxey isn't good enough to be the face of the franchise. His stats in the minutes without Embiid this series were abysmal, dude shot 25 FG%. Not to mention he averaged 54 TS% in games without Embiid too. Nowhere near good enough to be a number 1 option.
@@playitdontrateithomie-ke9ve Facts. Compared to Jalen Brunson without Randle who still produces. Without Embiid to suck up the space, Maxey's skillset still needs development.
@@shengwu6044 He’s still young, so he’s still learning. He’ll get there. He does have to improve on getting stronger and controlling his pacing.
You’re a fake Sixers fan
@@jaycechua9851 He def has potential
Teams need role players and the knicks are loaded we just need our starters back as well to really shine come finals
Didn't Tobias Harris have 0 points?
Didn’t Harris outscore embiid in game 7 last year and embiid still said he needed more it can’t just be him and harden?
I agree, its clear
I’ve never seen a player fall out of the frame on a fast break as frequently as Embiid. He’s constantly injured and it’s a liability to the team. If you’re never at your best when the games count, you’re useless. “But he had 39…” blah blah blah the Knicks scored at least 6 points on the break that could’ve been prevented if Embiid was capable of getting down the court.
Lol the Pacers gonna be itching to win at least 1 game just so they can bring up Stephen A saying he ain't worried about them just watch 😂
Embiid can't be the face of the Sixers and SAS is NOT the face of Knicks fandom.
I think the season was over with Philly once Joel went down with that knee injury and was out for a considerable amount of time the team just fell apart and it was just too little too late trying to get that chemistry back together with the playoffs in the play in tournament on the horizon. Based on the health of Joel next season they need one more player along with maxi that'll help carry them a little further I don't think Tobias Harris is the answer in which some expected him to be.
8:23 Hahahaha! As a Cowboys fan, that hurt....that really hurt...cause it's 100% true 😂
NY got a great team. Chemistry is great. They do need a 6th man to put them over the top.
Dude has all the talent in the world but his health will and forever be the reason why the 76ers won't win anything with him. Dude was playing on fumes, this was the first round of the post season.
Giving Brunson the credit for the Mavs getting to the WCF
Papa Rick has to be proud of them boys. His son particularly.
Some of these comments is crazy! I like Stephen A’s take. Yes build around Maxey. That way if we are without Embiid for any time Maxey and supporting cast can still get the job done. We definitely need a few real big men!
Tobi's Harris pulled a jontay porter 🤣😂😂
If Maxey wasnt horrible in game 6 the Sixers wouldve won it but the conclusion from this series is to make him the face of the team? Lol these guys are clowns. Compare Maxey and Embiids plus minus this series too please. Embiid is the light-years betrer player and Maxey was awful during the stretch Embiid got hurt in the regular season.
Nah Maxey decision making is terrible if you aren't getting any calls why keep driving for missed layups
This playoffs, the Ref ignored defenses, When quacking or hacking players. But only called, when drive into the Basket. So aggressive teams, were benefit from its.
Wait what??! Wasn’t they -47 with him off the court
I needed to give you flowers, you feel me
Sorry but disagree with this
They fought like dogs. Far more entertaining series than expected 😮❤
TBH, he played a very good game. I just feel the team slows down the pace when he is out on the hard floor, but at one point the Knicks did not know how to stop the man. He did his best, but Harris, Maxye, and the rest of the sixers were not up to the task.
When they traded butler and JJ I knew they were not serious. Good tuning I’m a Celtics fan ☘️☘️💪 see u in the eastern finals NY. Should be a good one
Stephen A is on the West Coast, but his hairline is traveling north
Remember when Stephen A was complaining about Dolan and how the knicks weren't enough to make any noise... y'all should mute his mic fr.
Just tired of embiid man, every year he's always the 1st mvp candidate. Then come playoffs he's injured or chokes 1st-2nd round exit. He be doin that for years, just trade him.
Congratulations
They just need to spend tobias money wisely and theyll b ok ..hes an mvp..lets get em a real team
Cant wait till see when SAS and Spike Lee get those Reggie Miller flashback😂😂😂😂
Brunson always jumps backwards like Trae Young. 💙👊🏿❤️
Can't believe people were comparing him to Fred Van Vleet 🤣
Knicks fans are delusional they haven’t made it out the second round. Best free agent signing after KD and Lebron is Jimmy Butler!! 4 Conference finals and 2 Finals Appearances.
this is crazy, Embiid was paralysed from head to toe and was the only one alongside Maxey doing anything this series for the 76ers including Game 6
they should take embiid’s mvp award back at this point😂😂
Almost 10 yrs in Joel still needs more help. He needs a back up so he can get a breather without the team going down 10 pts.
Remember y'all...This is the same doofy in SAS that told u to build around Ben Simmons too! Smh 🙄
So Stephen says at the Sixers shouldn’t get rid of Joel Embiid but yet he says that the box should get rid of giannis😒
this is how sports franchises change narratives. maybe they should prioritize maxey but this is how they get the fans and the players ready for what may happen
Kyle Lowry and Tobias Harris both had a DONOUT last night in an elimination game.
Both players are in the starting lineup.
Stephen A, you are tipping…..
What is Embid suppose to do with that kind of contribution.
Maxey also had a bad game 6/18 from field to finish with 17.
Leave the guy alone. He's playing banged up. Man I need seen so many sofa warriors
Embiid just drop 50 with an injury. He’s definitely a superstar
Maxey is the man i told people 2 years ago maxey would be a All star ⭐ now look
SAS averaged 1.5 ppg and gets paid millions to critique ballers like Embiid. 😂😂😂😂 Where can i sign up
I’ve been saying embiid isn’t a number one for like 5 years now. As someone who followed the sixers
Bruh had a pretty good series. Look at what his teammates did. Maxey had far from his best game, Tobias did cardio. So who's the face of the team? Because he's been the best player on it for years.
I understand the idea of certain players probably never winning as the best player of the team, but it'll take a pretty special player to outperform Embiid. Also, I want SAS to keep that same energy for Brunson. I'd be shocked if he leads his team to a championship, but SAS will sit there and act like he's turning water into wine.
Embiid is ineffective because he doesn't get the same calls as a regular season. I love seeing Philly fan crying 😭😭😭😭
Oakley before Anthony, Houston before Anthony, LJ-Sprewell combo before Anthony.
Thank goodness someone is saying it flop Joel is not him
This comparison has flaws ..because u re taking nba finals statistics and comparing those with the first round of the playoffs …are u serious ESPN ?
Bell’s palsy reference? Too soon!
This is nuts, Stephen A was going off on knicks and maknig fun of them for clearing cap space to sign him. Now he's talking about paying him 50 mill
classic, must be fun when no one calls you on ur BS
Some one needs to ask stephen a how grimes is foing for the knicks
We got the hard stuff outta the way. The sixers are the much tougher opponent than “indiana” 🤣🤣
You're still gonna get rolled by the celtics
I can see Maxey as potentially being the future face of the 76ers.
OG vs Spicy P
Ooooh i know Raptors fans are happy about this matchup
Tobias Harris is the face of this Whole “PROCESS” thing
Go Knicks. Brunson MVP! 🏆🏆🏆
I picked the Knicks to win in 6 games. Embiid choking in the playoffs happened again!!! Pacers vs Knicks is going to be good series I think the Pacers win in 7 games it could go either way
Y’all gonna kill SAS but he’s definitely right. Embiid’s health is not reliable enough to be the face of A Team.
Embiid put in work idc what SAS says it's not his fault they lost
We know that Dallas f'd up with the Brunson contract but man stop comparing the Leastern conference to the West. It's laughable. Brunson is balling, but this Knicks team would be a 1st round exit in the West.
Jr smith was a great Nick in my opinion
Goals off-season, use max money on pg or similar wing. Sign a back up center. Told y’all Paul reed is not it
Embiid was +44 for the series and played well. The rest of the twam outside of maxey was booty cheeks. The sixers front office wasted 5 years of embiid with a max contract tobi. He was non existent this series and litterally put up 0 points in 29 mins in a win or go home game. Straight SCRUBB
