From Thursday night’s TNT broadcast:
Shaq destroying Ben Simmons… 😳 "The difference between [Embiid] and his soft partner is he can take criticism without being a crybaby, and he still wants to play.”

“The difference between (Joel Embiid) and his soft partner is he can take criticism without being a crybaby about it, and he still wants to play… the other guy I don’t respect.”
Good God. This invokes the “stop stop he’s already dead!” Simpson’s meme. If you flip open Roget’s Thesaurus, you can find any number of synonyms for what Shaq has done here. Annihilation. Obliteration. Decimation. He held nothing back.
Is he wrong? Most Sixers fans would probably say no. They’re probably nodding along in agreement.
