    He’s only coming back so 76ers can sell their tickets otherwise it makes no sense for him to come back

      They’re two different types of basketball talk. It’s not just about basketball breakdown, They aren’t meant to always break down every type of play or situation in a basketball.

    It is comical that Molly get`s more mentions when she`s not their, than when she is. So ,I have come to the conclusion that y`all love Molly , but don`t won`t the trolls to really know. Peer pressure in social media is for real, for real!!!

    Sixers already have a easy schedule no need for Embiid to come back at least until the playoffs let him rest

    People forget these folks are freaks of nature. Embiid is 7’2 that’s not normal to begin with. Now you’re asking him to run up and down a court. Plus he’s 30. I don’t see Embiid winning a chip unless he pulls a KD

    Me personally if I was Embiid I would’ve sat out. Lost our top 4 seed,lost out on mvp,lost out on scoring title,lost out on all nba. Now your team in the play in and your team now has to do everything to make sure you get into the rhythm instead of just hooping. We also know you’re not 100%. But I’m not Joel so I’ll give him credit for trying but I would’ve sat out personally
