Sports reporters love Diet Coke, deadlines, and doing Joel Embiid impressions on a live mic.

Brian Windhorst is the latest:

Not the man who brought us to the “Deal Zone!” Windy obviously missed the Jackie Mac impression on Bill Simmons’ show and the backlash they got from it. I’m not offended at the impression. I’m offended how bad both were. Windy just half-assed it. Jackie Mac went from Embiid to Louvre tour guide all the way back to Embiid in 14 seconds.

When did Embiid become the go-to impression for every sports analyst? This is like Mike Tyson for comedians in the 90s. The only thing was Tyson was an American guy who spoke English with a funny lisp. Embiid speaks like 5 different languages. Can we keep the impressions domestic and shelve the bad ones about guys who’ve only spoke English for 11 years now? Stick to Stephen A and Charles Barkley if you can’t resist the urge. Mix in a Merrill Reese and your bubby from Delco to balance it out. Chill out on importing impressions. (Kinkead: I gave Jackie Mac a 3.4 out of 10 for her Embiid impression, and I’d give Windy a 0.7 out of 10)

Obviously the impression dominated the talk of the podcast, but Windy did have an interesting note that league executives are already contemplating how to get Tobias Harris this summer:
