Joel Embiid shows no mercy in Madden even if you’re seven years old:

Via The Athletic’s Jayson Jenks, Rich Hofmann, and Rustin Dodd:

Billy Lange, 76ers assistant coach: My wife, Alicia, and I have four sons. He takes a car service, he comes over and Alicia cooks for him. He has this backpack with him. He says to my boys, “You guys want to play video games?” Of course, they’re going to say yes. And he takes out his PlayStation.

Alicia Lange: He put it literally on the main TV in my house. He wanted everyone to watch how bad he beat them.

Billy Lange: When I say he pummeled my kids, there was no mercy. I think he won a Madden game, 98-6.

Alicia Lange: At the time, my kids were 7, 9 and 10.

My MVP.

“Children is our future my ass. I’m the future. – Dave Chappelle/Joel Embiid

How can you not love this guy? He doesn’t care if you’re picking your nose or picking up full court, he’s going to dominate you. If this was a profile on Nikola Jokic, the only story his assistant coach could tell is how he caught Nikola teaching his 12 year old how to chain smoke. Does the NBA really want someone like that to represent them? A guy who assaulted another player only five months ago? What message are we sending to the kids?


The only answer is the NBA hates Joel Embiid. How are they not running a secret Black Ops campaign for Joel Embiid to win the MVP? If David Stern was still commissioner he would kidnap any beat writer he caught wind of voting for Jokic. That guy knew how to grow the game. Would Patrick Ewing have been better off in Indiana instead of New York? Of course not. Joel has more personality in his pinky than Nikola Jokic has in his entire body. He’s from a continent of a billion people that the NBA invests a bunch of money into. I’d also like to add into evidence the fact he’s also outright better:

The NBA seems to be in collusion with Jokic. Who in the NBA decided a Lakers team with no LeBron vs. the 5th seed in the West was the game to feature on ESPN yesterday? Jokic has been on national television twice in the last week. Embiid? Zero. In fact, the Sixers haven’t been on national TV since March 23rd. They’ve played the Suns, Bucks, Cleveland, and Toronto in that span, all playoff teams. Wouldn’t a 44/17 performance be great to show NBA writers who might not get to watch Embiid a lot? Does the NBA not have a flex option like the NFL?

Its ridiculous:
