No step over equals no kick. The step over is a cowardly way to disrespect someone before trying to walk away quickly.
Thank you!❤
Embiid can only kick the opponents. Is this your MVP? Not mine ! Shame on you
You can most definitely tell intent 🤣come on, man. That's never right. Someone can stand over you, boo hoo. Don't like it, don't give up dunks.
Can someone remind me why they keep Kenny around please?
Flagrant 2 but smart play by Claxton
MVP title for epileptic seizures🙉🙊🙈
Claxton should NOT have been kicked out for his celebration for dunking on Joel.
Embiid should've gotten ejected!
I agree. Taunting and grabbing an ankle is not as bad stomping or kicking but give a tech or flagrant one (like they did for the minor penalties), flagrant 2 for the kick/stomp.
That's your MVP lol
Barkley is the only reasonable person on the panel
That's the difference between Joker and Embeed. Joel is petty, he's kid.
He was provoked obviously. I do not agree with Shaq about the chest stomp though. That was far more aggressive and dangerous to the vitals.
Basketball needs more players disciplining players.
In hockey, Embiid gets scraped immediately if he pulls that stunt, possibly jumped by multiple guys. Absolutely no chance he gets away with that in NHL playoffs. Equivalent in hokey would be using the stick to stab a guy below the belt. If someone actually kicked someone else that would be an unthinkable act of violence given the skate is a sharp as a sword.
In baseball he gets 99 mph right beside his face, or up his A**, next time he's up to bat, no chance that doesn't happen if he kicked a guy in the b*lls during a slide.
I'm no NFL fan but I know there is no shortage of opportunities to send a message to your opponent if you feel that they have violated the game in some way.
In basketball it seems as though disciplining your opponent is not part of the game. Who is to say that a player on the Nets could not have had a leg spasm and kicked Embiid accidently once or twice. Would that have been so bad, an accidental leg spasm pointed in Embiids direction, for the sake of honor and pride.
Anyway that's my two cents on this whole thing.
this isnt as bad as people make it out to be. not even a real kick and point of contact was to the hamstring, not the groin. i wouldnt let a rival/opponent walk over me as well. gotta stand up for yourself come on now
EMBID UnderCuts Net with Body & Shoves with Both Hands . On LOB he Can't Defend . NBA should suspend EMBID for Next Game . SETTLED . 76ers Win Anyway ???
CHUCK is Correct . FLAGRANT II
UFCNBA!
Problem with Shaq is he is too close minded. He doesn’t like to reason outside of his narrow worldview. You can see it in some of the most idiotic stances he’s had through the years. Sometimes it’s almost comical. At least Chuck can be reasonable.
Joel Embiid is forever a clown and never deserves the MVP
Why did nic claxton get a technical at all all he did was not step on and be but try to walk over him that's some BS
If u guys could see Joel closer, he was grabbed his leg while the other was up for a dunk. Yeah I agreed with Shaq and Chuck.
Get Kenny out please. Hurts to hear
If it was anyone else he'd be ejected
Flagrant 1 forsure. He was just trying to get Nic to go away.
The idea that you HAVE TO strike someone because they disrespect you…..
Emotionally unwell people out there.
Then again, it is sports. It's all perfectly predictable.
Kenny’s paid off by the NBA at this point💀
Not all people who grow old are wise
Man Claxton had that coming. Tried to disrespect somebody way higher on the pecking order.
draymond should have sat on sabonis like a chair
Too many injuries and ejections
Kenny knows nothing 😅😅😅 🤡🤡🤡
Shaq is always wrong lol
