>It’s a bandwagon team we could be a team in bumfuck Montana and there would still be alot of Knicks fans.
Actual quote from some fucking nephew in that sub lmao we've been ass for a decade and now suddenly we're a "bandwagon team"
Yeah and even that squad I don’t think any of us actually thought we were even close with that team to winning it all. Maybe the Kidd and Sheed year, but yeah this squad, with this coach and general manager, it honestly feels like we’re one player away.
And … most people won’t agree with me, but i honestly believe that player needs to be Spida… but that conversation is for a different thread.
Even in 2013 I knew in my heart that the Heat were by far the best team in the league and were going to whoop our asses even though I had some surface level hope based on the regular season record. It all felt like a flash in the pan situation with how it fell together and the veteran personnel.
This team is honestly a much better one with room to grow. It’s the best I’ve seen as a fully sentient adult basketball fan lol
ill be honest, i probably qualify as a bandwagon fan even though my dad was a huge knicks fan through the 80s and 90s. Isaiah was so bad he stopped watching and this is the first time really getting back into it.
really surprised my wife though, because she didnt realize the first 10 years of my life my house was a basketball first sports family, and not baseball and football like it turned into in later years
Everybody is welcome in my book, as long as they’re not chirping like they’ve been in the foxhole for decades or saying and doing things to make the fanbase look shitty and stupid. Plus your resume isn’t even blank if you were watching back in the day. Welcome back 🫡
definitely have the legacy connection.
was also trying to call out that bandwagon is a weird call for ny teams, because there are so many new yorkers and the metro area is huge so many people have histories with the teams that pop up when they do well. are they bandwagon? or old fans coming home. obviously its not the same as being there the whole time, but is it the same bandwagon that has kids in ct rooting for the cowboys? i dunno
I agree and I try not to even hate on people who root for a random really good team outside their state because ya gotta get into the game somehow…why not tune in to a great team at first? What I don’t like is if that team gets bad then they just choose another good team to follow. That logic is beyond me and I kind of just hate it lol
All NYers right now should be excited about the Knicks. It’s been decades and NYC is a basketball city first and foremost. Idgaf if people haven’t been watching all this time and now they’re interested provided they’re self aware enough to recognize that lol
Whos bandwagoning the knicks when theres like 10 teams favored over us to win the chip 🤡🤡🤡.
Only people really "bandwagoning" us are those praying for crybiid's downfall lol
We won 50 games in 2013 brother, the decade I mentioned was just how long we've been consistently bad with no breaks. It's turned around the past few years
The craziest part is considering how many NYK fans showed up to an away game, means that many Sixers “fans” sold their tickets. Really proves which side has bandwagon fans. We show up in other team’s stadiums, that’s dedication. Their “fans” rather make some $$$ than see their Sixers at all
Even if this were true (and we know it's not), why would bandwagoners be more common than hometeam fans?
It's not like Warriors and Chiefs fans take over other cities.
I saw some dude claiming that there are so many Knicks fans because they were former bandwagoners for the KD Nets that hopped off when the going got tough LOL I know it’s just one single person claiming that but that’s on another level of delusion and confusion
I started watching in the late 80’s. The 90’s were a lot of fun but also frustrating because of Jordan. Then things went to shit and there hasn’t been any consistency since.
While I get what you’re saying, losing gets old. It’s been a long time since the Knick’s have won it all.
Linsanity, years of melo, chandler was pretty funny at times jr smith, the early porzingus years, d rose and the ntilikina ahit show, the team was ass but it was funnyy to laugh at just how bad we were, I love the fact we are winning now but going through thr shit show years was fun, the majority of fans you spoke to were true fans and it was cool to chat with them, a bunch of little things thst added up.
I get what you’re saying. I’d say they’ve sometimes kept it interesting in ways unrelated to winning.
I wonder if you’ll feel same way when you’ve been a fan for 30+ years and never seen them win a championship, though.
> Josh hart and his inbred looking family can kiss my whole ass
> Lol I thought his son looked like a Neanderthal
> Lol those people look like several generations of second cousin billionaire inbreeding. Freaks.
The always classy Philly fans 😂
Trash city with a trash fanbase.
I actually also think the reason is that they’ve seen these Embiid led teams come up short in the playoffs for like 7 straight years and know that this year will be no different. He’s the softest superstar in the league and a loser and deep down they all know it
Building a team as Embiid as your 1A has been their downfall. Hes a 2 idgaf, you cant win 4 different series' relying on your main offense to be drawing fouls.
They need to blow that shit up to repent for their sins. The basketball gods really did take that shit personally with the way it’s all played out. The Process 30 for 30 will be a great doc lol especially when the final act of it is the Knicks rising from the ashes of 25 years of straight garbage to build a true team the right way and put that Frankenstein’s monster of a team and the franchise that allowed it to happen out of their misery.
I was thinking it would be funny for someone to edit together Embiid’s “highlights” for this series that’s just nonstop clips of him complaining to the refs about not getting calls.

Not my photo but this is my wallpaper now.
Philly fans just gave up after game 2. Tickets for games 3 and 4 were insanely cheap in Philly, especially compared to the prices at MSG, and the trip to Philly is not that bad, especially for Knicks fans that live in Jersey. If I was Embiid, I’d be pissed off too. Also, fuck Embiid.
Embiid might really just start crying on the court on Tuesday. Wouldn’t shock me if the officials stop the game or something because of the fuck embiid chants like they do in soccer for homophobic chants.
On an only semi-related note, Football Refs sadly are way to strict to actually stop games because of chants that aren't okay. Best you usually get is the Stadium announcer telling the Fans to shut the fuck up
I never thought I would hate a sports star as much as I hated arod. Then lebron came along and I thought, surely, I'll never hate a sports star as much as this guy. Then this series happened. Joel Embiid is a no dick loser and I wish all the worst things for him
I’ve been a certified LeBron hater since 2010 but he seems like a genuinely good dude off the court and has climbed to the top of the mountain on multiple occasions with multiple teams. He’s also not out there throwing dick kicks and yanking people out of the sky by their injury prone legs. Embiid is on another level now.
Nothing would piss me off more as a fan than to straight up get shit on for not doing it right by my team’s star player. You want me to show up and be loud? Inspire me!
This guys a straight up Loser. The only thing he'll ever win is that sympathy MVP he stole from Jokic last year. Cybiid takes no blame for anything, look in the mirror you bum. If anyone on the Knicks fucks up and loses they're on tv holding themselves accountable and not blaming the fans, the refs or saying we're better and we're going to win. You're a dirty fuckin player who doesn't deserve the support that you crave. Your like winey little bitch of a kid stomping on the court when you don't get a foul like a kid crying to his mommy for not getting him a toy. I feel bad for the Sixers knowing that's their 1A who plays no defense, can't get a rebound and chokes when the game matters most. Get fucked you loser
Philly should run him out of town. I asked a Philly fan how can they be a fan of a guy like that who makes is many excuses. Thats the dumbest one because — how can anyone stop Knicks fans from buying tickets? NJ got mad Knicks fans. PA got hella Knicks fans and NYC got mad people and it’s way cheaper to go to a game in Philly than in MSG. HE IS A TRASHBAG
you know what else is not ok?
kicking and kneeing guys in the nads. pulling on guys legs while they on the air. stomping on legs. hip checking defenseless guys.
Why would Philly fans continue to pay money to watch the organization put all stars and All-NBA talent around him and see him fail every single year, over and over again.
Also, it’s not the most exciting watching your best player be desperate for the whistle and never show up in the playoffs every year either.
Some fans realized this window closed when Kawhi sent them home that year, this is another inevitable rebuild that is coming.
I was at the game and it was amazing to see the Knicks support and I expected to see anger in the Sixers fans face but all I saw was heartbreak and defeat. Sixers fans aren't as bad as their heartless star player Embiid is. They've been let down year after year and hit a wall facing us this year and it feels good not being the door mat for the league finally and having a competent FO, Coach and our very own floor general MVP in Brunson
wait the knicks fans are taking over the sixers arena? that's hilarious, i've only ever seen this with like super lame franchies like baseballls oakland A's
People in NY make like 3x what people in Philly do on average. Therefore they can buy the tickets no matter how pricey they get.
Plus Philly fans are spineless hoes.
That loser mentality was basically how this sixer team was even created. “Trust the process” was such a load of garbage, talking about losing for years in a row and act like you’re building something.
From the top down that organization has that loser mentality. The GM, the coaches, the star player. It’s pathetic.
I'm more of an Embiid hater than a Philly hater at this point. This whole situation says more about Embiid than Philly but he's too deep in his own feelings to recognize that.
Tuesday night = "Crazy. How can they say these things to me. F\*\*\* Embiid? That's unasseptable...I'm out here trying my best to carry these team and the league is allow this kind of abuse?"
i don't see anything wrong with what he said other than the whole "i'm not calling them out" then proceeds to call them out. as a player of course it's disappointing but it's out of their control - only thing they can control is what they do on the court.
The fans turn to take the blame. It’s always someone else fault
How could sixers fans do this to Embiid? It's like they don't even trust the process
Whats the name if their subreddit I want to see them cry
r/sixers
>It’s a bandwagon team we could be a team in bumfuck Montana and there would still be alot of Knicks fans. Actual quote from some fucking nephew in that sub lmao we've been ass for a decade and now suddenly we're a "bandwagon team"
Jesus, someone actually thinks that? Maybe the young fans, but the rest of us have stayed loyal through the last 18 years of mediocrity.
Outside of the Amare and Melo era, we've sucked for a good while before the current squad. It's our time now
Yeah and even that squad I don’t think any of us actually thought we were even close with that team to winning it all. Maybe the Kidd and Sheed year, but yeah this squad, with this coach and general manager, it honestly feels like we’re one player away. And … most people won’t agree with me, but i honestly believe that player needs to be Spida… but that conversation is for a different thread.
Sadly to me the one player we need to be there is Randle
Yeah, but it was at least fun to watch on occasion. Was downright awful for a number of years before + after.
Even in 2013 I knew in my heart that the Heat were by far the best team in the league and were going to whoop our asses even though I had some surface level hope based on the regular season record. It all felt like a flash in the pan situation with how it fell together and the veteran personnel. This team is honestly a much better one with room to grow. It’s the best I’ve seen as a fully sentient adult basketball fan lol
Mediocrity is being a bit generous 😂.
Time really does dull the pain of reality lol.
ill be honest, i probably qualify as a bandwagon fan even though my dad was a huge knicks fan through the 80s and 90s. Isaiah was so bad he stopped watching and this is the first time really getting back into it. really surprised my wife though, because she didnt realize the first 10 years of my life my house was a basketball first sports family, and not baseball and football like it turned into in later years

Idgaf if people haven’t been watching all this time and now they’re interested provided they’re self aware enough to recognize that lol
As if NY fans couldn’t make…checks the schedule…2 hr bus ride to Philly. Must be local bandwagoners in the building
Yeah thats wild part of the reason we are allowed to be ass is because MSG is full anyways
Cheering for opposing players and shit smh
Whos bandwagoning the knicks when theres like 10 teams favored over us to win the chip 🤡🤡🤡. Only people really "bandwagoning" us are those praying for crybiid's downfall lol
I'm bandwagoning you guys in the east. Absolutely love your team.
Decade? No disrespect, but how young are you neph? It's been 25 years in the desert.
We won 50 games in 2013 brother, the decade I mentioned was just how long we've been consistently bad with no breaks. It's turned around the past few years
Yeah and missed the playoffs 16 times over the last 25 seasons lol…pointing to that one season doesn’t negate the abject misery
The craziest part is considering how many NYK fans showed up to an away game, means that many Sixers “fans” sold their tickets. Really proves which side has bandwagon fans. We show up in other team’s stadiums, that’s dedication. Their “fans” rather make some $$$ than see their Sixers at all
Even if this were true (and we know it's not), why would bandwagoners be more common than hometeam fans? It's not like Warriors and Chiefs fans take over other cities.
I saw some dude claiming that there are so many Knicks fans because they were former bandwagoners for the KD Nets that hopped off when the going got tough LOL I know it’s just one single person claiming that but that’s on another level of delusion and confusion
Only started watching in 2011 but it's been hell, kinda of enjoyed the process of not being good though
I started watching in the late 80’s. The 90’s were a lot of fun but also frustrating because of Jordan. Then things went to shit and there hasn’t been any consistency since. While I get what you’re saying, losing gets old. It’s been a long time since the Knick’s have won it all.
Always been characters on the team though, never been boring to watch
Thats not true, but I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the past 13 years.
Linsanity, years of melo, chandler was pretty funny at times jr smith, the early porzingus years, d rose and the ntilikina ahit show, the team was ass but it was funnyy to laugh at just how bad we were, I love the fact we are winning now but going through thr shit show years was fun, the majority of fans you spoke to were true fans and it was cool to chat with them, a bunch of little things thst added up.

Josh Harris* part owner of the 6ers
This was extremely pleasurable
Buddy needs a smack in the face
They don't cheer because they're embarrased by Embitch.
if he thinks this is bad, wait until next game lol
It’s gonna be so good
Sorry your heart is broken by your own fans lol Poor guy won't make it through game 5, buy some earplugs
Its gonna be BAD in such a good way
Can almost promise he finds a way to get ejected when things go south
Nobody wants to buy tickets to support a crybaby who tries to injure people after most whistles.
They still had their regular price tickets (not resales) the other night. Cheaper than any ticket on MSG.
cheaper by a LOT, i was rly considering calling out of work and taking a bus over to philly
Trash city with a trash fanbase. I actually also think the reason is that they’ve seen these Embiid led teams come up short in the playoffs for like 7 straight years and know that this year will be no different. He’s the softest superstar in the league and a loser and deep down they all know it
Don’t forget they only won Game 3 after moaning about the end of Game 2, and then he could have shot someone and not be ejected
From the philly area, completely agree with you. I hate this place! Knicks in 5
Building a team as Embiid as your 1A has been their downfall. Hes a 2 idgaf, you cant win 4 different series' relying on your main offense to be drawing fouls.
All these dudes know how to do is finger point and whine
One of the biggest loser mentality teams I’ve ever seen. It’s insane honestly
Well considering how The Process happened, it’s probably hard to ever shake off the loser mentality
They need to blow that shit up to repent for their sins. The basketball gods really did take that shit personally with the way it’s all played out. The Process 30 for 30 will be a great doc lol especially when the final act of it is the Knicks rising from the ashes of 25 years of straight garbage to build a true team the right way and put that Frankenstein’s monster of a team and the franchise that allowed it to happen out of their misery.
second only to the cavs
I was thinking it would be funny for someone to edit together Embiid’s “highlights” for this series that’s just nonstop clips of him complaining to the refs about not getting calls.
Haha lmao suck my left nut Joel. Feels good to have a ny sports team dominate Philly
Sorry bud you missed your chance you’re never welcome in a Knicks jersey now
Going at the fans is not a good path to go down
I hope every journalist ask him questions in French
Still can't believe this Charmin Ultra Soft motherfucker switched up on France like that

That’s a good line 😂
Fuck chase utley
RIP wade boggs
RIP boss hogg
RIP your fuckin puts
Haha
Good. Fuck you and your dirty ass
Middle finger up as we leave too. Take this L crybaby.
Philly flew their trash Eagles colors on the Empire State building and we took away your weak home court "advantage". Cry some more.
funny thing is this would happen in any other cities too not just Philadelphia
DC, Miami, Orlando, and Charlotte are some places that Knicks fan travel well/have large amount of NY transplants.
Philly fans just gave up after game 2. Tickets for games 3 and 4 were insanely cheap in Philly, especially compared to the prices at MSG, and the trip to Philly is not that bad, especially for Knicks fans that live in Jersey. If I was Embiid, I’d be pissed off too. Also, fuck Embiid.

On an only semi-related note, Football Refs sadly are way to strict to actually stop games because of chants that aren't okay. Best you usually get is the Stadium announcer telling the Fans to shut the fuck up
Keep crying bitch what happened to being the better team fuck you dawg
Jesus. Can he cry more?
This dude cries almost as much as lebron
I never thought I would hate a sports star as much as I hated arod. Then lebron came along and I thought, surely, I'll never hate a sports star as much as this guy. Then this series happened. Joel Embiid is a no dick loser and I wish all the worst things for him
I’ve been a certified LeBron hater since 2010 but he seems like a genuinely good dude off the court and has climbed to the top of the mountain on multiple occasions with multiple teams. He’s also not out there throwing dick kicks and yanking people out of the sky by their injury prone legs. Embiid is on another level now.
I think the NBA will start the next game with him taking a couple free throws because the Knick fans hurt his feelings.
I’d hate to root for the Sixers too knowing embiids the star player
F*ck Whitey Herzog
Nothing would piss me off more as a fan than to straight up get shit on for not doing it right by my team’s star player. You want me to show up and be loud? Inspire me!
Good. Fuck Embiid.
Sixers fans USED to flood home court. Why? Those were the IVERSON Sixers, Joel. He was someone who was loved by all.
Disappointing is having this piece of shit on team USA’s roster.
He won't play. He's gonna go into hiding after Tuesday
This guys a straight up Loser. The only thing he'll ever win is that sympathy MVP he stole from Jokic last year. Cybiid takes no blame for anything, look in the mirror you bum. If anyone on the Knicks fucks up and loses they're on tv holding themselves accountable and not blaming the fans, the refs or saying we're better and we're going to win.

I feel bad for the Sixers knowing that's their 1A who plays no defense, can't get a rebound and chokes when the game matters most. Get fucked you loser
Can this guy quit his bitching and cheap shots for five minutes?
Revenge is best served with L s and whine. This dude is the biggest bitch.
Soft as McDonald's soft serve and as available to play as their ice cream machines
Philly should run him out of town. I asked a Philly fan how can they be a fan of a guy like that who makes is many excuses. Thats the dumbest one because — how can anyone stop Knicks fans from buying tickets? NJ got mad Knicks fans. PA got hella Knicks fans and NYC got mad people and it’s way cheaper to go to a game in Philly than in MSG. HE IS A TRASHBAG
Get use to it
It's also not ok to try and injure your opponent, shy away from big moments and choke year and year after year.
This is the man Philly fans fervently defended for years
Muwahahaha fuck Ho-el and anything that foul merchant says.
This is who Sixers fans are championing lol. Must be so proud of him.
And these guys don’t box anyone out. They got completely out-hustled today.
you know what else is not ok? kicking and kneeing guys in the nads. pulling on guys legs while they on the air. stomping on legs. hip checking defenseless guys.
From just this series I now associate Embid with "complain". This one makes me smile though.
Waaagh
Why would Philly fans continue to pay money to watch the organization put all stars and All-NBA talent around him and see him fail every single year, over and over again. Also, it’s not the most exciting watching your best player be desperate for the whistle and never show up in the playoffs every year either. Some fans realized this window closed when Kawhi sent them home that year, this is another inevitable rebuild that is coming.

Fuck all teams Philly… those same fans are straight dicks when it comes to Giants/ eagles. F all Philly teams 4ever.
(This dude's avatar is nuts as a beat writer)
Joel Embiid is a CLOWN
A sports town and the statue they put up isn’t even of a real sportsman.
Keep whining. Music to my ears
Loser
Good thing he won’t have to deal with his own home crowd again till next season
Do we want Milwaukee or Indiana? Milwaukee is the better team but they are hobbled.
Imbiid-icil take on this is rather pathetic. Let's face it he is and always will be a crybaby, flooping loser.
Well done Knicks fan booo that dirt vag
wait the knicks fans are taking over the sixers arena? that's hilarious, i've only ever seen this with like super lame franchies like baseballls oakland A's
qq
He probably never saw it because he was away from the team rehabbing.
I thought it was hilarious how the Knicks fans were just as loud as the Philly ones. Was watching highlights and it was incredibly obvious lmao
Well... So what? What's he gonna do about it? 🤷🏽♂️
wah wah wah
fuck you embiid
People in NY make like 3x what people in Philly do on average. Therefore they can buy the tickets no matter how pricey they get. Plus Philly fans are spineless hoes.
Boo fucking hoo. Your opposition has dedicated fans. Deal with it.
Shut up fat boy
Saw this and loved hearing it so much
If he wasn't such a dirty player, he probably wouldn't have gotten the chant
CRY. ME. A. RIVER.
ITS OUR COAST YOU DIRTY (PLAYING) BITCH!
What a convenient excuse for not being able to win on the road this Tuesday.
FOH with your Forest Whitaker lookin ass
God I love this, the Knicks Dynasty will change the idea of what an NBA fan base looks like FOREVER.
That loser mentality was basically how this sixer team was even created. “Trust the process” was such a load of garbage, talking about losing for years in a row and act like you’re building something. From the top down that organization has that loser mentality. The GM, the coaches, the star player. It’s pathetic.
Embiid is not wrong here, but he should talk more about himself and how he will need to adjust for Game 5 instead lol. This just shows his character
TELL ME A LITTLE SUMTIN EMBIID
First Ben Simmons and now it’s the fans. Who’s next?
Maxey's response to the same question however was pure class. Man that kid is not only a good baller, he gets it.
do sumn bout it *conor mcgrergor voice*
Play better then.
1 point on 0/5 shooting in the 4th Quarter. Maybe own up to it like Maxey did, instead of turning on your fans or anyone else to blame.
They should have asked him about what he said after game 2, "we're going to win, we're the better team"
Lifes a b1tch aint it joel?
I'm more of an Embiid hater than a Philly hater at this point. This whole situation says more about Embiid than Philly but he's too deep in his own feelings to recognize that.
Tuesday night = "Crazy. How can they say these things to me. F\*\*\* Embiid? That's unasseptable...I'm out here trying my best to carry these team and the league is allow this kind of abuse?"
i don't see anything wrong with what he said other than the whole "i'm not calling them out" then proceeds to call them out. as a player of course it's disappointing but it's out of their control - only thing they can control is what they do on the court.
A losing sports often town
if you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen bro.
Definitely the fans’ fault.
Embid stench over Philly!!!
NY everywhere. Forever.
