    I wonder how many players legit aren't happy playing in the basketball in the NBA. Dealing with the media and the constant grind. Fans yelling every sort of thing you can imagine every single night. I know the money makes it up for a lot of players, but you'd think a lot of players (like Embiid) have one foot out the door just wanting to leave because they truly don't love the game enough to where they want to deal with the constant bullshit that comes with being a star NBA player.

    I see what you’re saying. But I feel like a person trying to capitalize off such an incident would be younger. Marcus Hayes has been around (in Philly) for almost 3 decades. He was in Philly when SAS was just a sixers beat writer. As much of a tool Marcus is. Hes never been one fkr the limelight, attention in the likes of a Jason Whitlock or even a SAS. He’s really lowkey. Heck he may not even show his face doing podcasts or whatever interviews speaking on this situation. Or even a future one where embiid actually physically assaulted him.

    It's part of our imbecilic culture which wrongly assumes speech has no consequences.

    Good.

    More of this. STAT.

    Make all media shook again.

    This sh!t should be a weekly occurrence until these strange MF are scared to be in the locker rooms or tunnels or near the bus. Stay in your lane, f@ggots. And don’t even think about doing some passive aggressive button pushing bullsh!t.

    More of this, can’t overstate this.

    Its just a shove. The media actin like Joel tackled him to the ground and gave him an armbar.

    Nothing happened really. Why speak about deceased family members anyway what a scumbag.

    This should wake a lot of you up on the embiid slander. This could have been you if I was in arm distance of you. Except you wouldn’t make the news for just a shove….

    When is your boy going to play?

    Philly have the worst record in the NBA and Embiid seems more concerned with fighting reporters than playing basketball

    center Joel Embiid has been suspended three games without pay for shoving a member of the media, the NBA announced on Tuesday.

    The suspension will begin with the next regular season game Embiid is eligible and able to play in.

    This is the kind of potential crap I was worried would come Embiid's way. I don't like him getting suspended at all it's just the outcome that you can see coming because of how the NBA and other such organizations deal with incidents in the modern era. It's not a major punishment (he won't miss the money and can just pretend to want to return sooner for the suspension) but he's definitely come out worse for this exchange.

    I read the guy goaded Embiid.

    Embiid later said that he doesn’t care what reporters say. “But you do,” Hayes answered.

    Time for the team to magically declare Embiid is ready to play so he can miss his three games then go back to sitting again.
