    Media guy defends punishment for shoving a media guy.

    People making statements about embid playing in the Olympics is crazy. He played less than half of his average playing time and was not the main go to player for the team. Give me a break

    Oh thats the reporter that brought up his family??? Yeah i would have put hands, feet, elbows, the kitchen sink on him too.

    Why report this? We have a criminal as president so this right here is consider a verbal warning with hands now 😂

    Both Mad Dog and Stephen A made valid arguments regarding JT’s Olympic situation, but Stephen A has the edge here.

    1. Tatum was the most recent NBA champion, alongside Jrue Holiday and Derrick White. To not play a Champion for 2 games? Seems disrespectful to me.
    2. When the roster was formed, it was KD, LeBron, Kawhi, and Tatum at the SF spot. However, Kawhi withdrew and was later replaced with Derrick White. So, that left KD, LeBron and JT at the SF spot. You mean to tell me, if Kawhi was on the roster, he would have been a DNP alongside Tatum because KD and LeBron were on the roster as well?
    3. Tatum, like LeBron can play 4 positions. LeBron for the most part of the Olympics was a Point Forward at the 1 spot. You can have Tatum at the 3 and KD at the 4. Or have LeBron and KD play the 3 and 4 respectively, and have JT sub in for either one of them when they need to rest.
    4. Tatum led the Celtics in points, rebounds, and assists in the NBA Finals. Only one other player on the USA roster did that – LeBron James. What does that tell you?

    Take that Stephen A. Warriors beat Celtics. Tatum a baby man who can’t accept his free gold medal. Gotta cry about it. There’s like 6 games in the Olympics, you gotta play what is working, you don’t have a season for you to figure out how to play all the guys you got. Thought he was a professional, not a toddler. Glad Celtics lost.

    No I do not feel the suspension is fair: you people be “picking and choosing” who receives leniency. I hate to bring up old news, but how does Draymond Green get dealt with the way he did for being violent? And Embid gets a 3 game suspension for a first offense shove. I’m just making a point because Mr. Green has held himself responsible for his actions and moved on….

    Clearly the Tatum’s nonexistent minutes in the Olympics debacle is fvcked. But if he goes back for 2028, he better not come back with anything less than gold as well.

    I would’ve decked Hayes on Embiid’s behalf. Dude is a POS for that article.

    Embiid got called foul for handchecking outside of a game. NBA is SOFT

    This situation is ridiculous how are you going to criticize someone because they are hurt? The guy has a history of injuries, why don’t you blame whoever gave him that contract knowing his health issues?

    I hope they gave his 3 game salary to that reporter. Joel has to GROW up

    Im glad SaS is making this point, because thats the only point that matters, you want to attack a mans professional behavior thats find, but his family especially if they have absolutely nothing to do with it shiuld ne er have been mentioned, hes lucky this isnt the old nba because he definitely woulda got hands out on him

    The foreign player should be DEPORTED from fraudulent contract to free enterprise

  23. @CraigCharley

    November 9, 2024 at 4:03 pm

    Black men need to be taught a lesson in manners. Deport Embiid from The United States free enterprise marketing for insubordination to provide a fair balance work ethic to job

  24. @kristiburgos7728

    November 10, 2024 at 12:20 pm

    Was the reporter out of line? Yes. Is Embiid a grown man? Yes. You are a grown man and a professional athlete and it is your job not to take the bait.
