Joel Embiid has been through a lot:

Joel Embiid on being asked if he’s been the #Sixers’ culture said. “I’ve been through a lot. I’ve been through a lot. Whether you talk about freaking GMs using burner accounts and talking trash on their players….” pic.twitter.com/TuZyHqVkiG

Keith’s laugh when Joel Embiid mentions the burner accounts is great. There will never be anything like The Process ever again. Burner accounts of general managers criticizing players. A #1 overall pick forgetting how to shoot. A last-second quadruple doink in the playoffs. GMs resigning with a lengthy manifesto. Another #1 pick refusing to play because the fans were mean to him after Game 7. Fake metaverse partnerships, peanut allergies, lottery picks beating up Celtics fans. A global pandemic. Jesus.

Sixers fans deserve everything good that comes out of Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and James Harden playing together. They deserve a NBA Finals run. Joel Embiid deserves a MVP trophy. Look at everything Sixers fans have been through. “Everybody wonders why we’re so mean. Everybody wonders why the Philadelphia [76ers] don’t have the nicest fans.” “If I don’t eat breakfast, I’m fucking pissed off!”

I’m pissed off the sportsbooks still don’t have us as a favorite to win the league, I’m pissed off that Ben Simmons is going to duck his return to Philly, and I’m pissed about the anti-Harden propaganda. So I guess there’s only one thing left to do:

P.S. If Kevin Durant said this to Ben Simmons he’d refuse to play:

Maxey was asked what was the key to his second half outburst. Among other pieces of advice and encouragement, “James came up to me and asked me if i was going to play today”
