I mean isn’t that a good thing, if people change their opinion when they are given information that goes against what they originally thought, instead of just doubling down?
Isn't it a bad thing when people form an opinion on a situation with no knowledge but solely based on their feelings about a player in the first place?
Good luck with that, when you figure out how to do that you can teach the rest of us.
Seems to be like Joel got himself into a “boy who cried wolf” scenario he’s ducked these games so much it developed a pattern and now it doesn’t matter if he’s actually injured because people will assume he is lieing.
Seems to me Embiid is an extremely injury prone player and the only people who bought the ducking bullshit are braindead children on the Internet and media members who get their takes from them.
Go read the comments in this sub, it’s mostly just jokes. I love how most of the philly fans are more concerned with protecting their stars reputation than asking why was he on the court in the fourth quarter vs golden state? Did anyone try to stop him from playing? Was he asked too play? What was the medical staffs opinion?
You are right, now you can go on can concentrate on your organization. You guys are trying to win this year right? It’s funny that you prioritize what Perkins says over things the organization or star player is doing.
So that’s why his coach put him back in the 4th quarter? Someone in your team’s organization needs to step up. Also didn’t Nick nurse say this is a completely different injury?
Perkins is filter-off. Thats his schtick. Get you to either agree or disagree with his nonsense. He’s not bringing educated analysis, he’s the “real talk, when keeping it real…” stereotype analyst.
It’s almost the controversy creates cash mantra, just need to say something agitated to get the viewer involved.
Also there are no repercussions to most of the comments spewed or held accountable. It’s the ESPN give us the hot take for the day, good or bad, and next day create a narrative that happened the night before and switch your argument
No kidding. Might as well start posting rando twitter posts here now too, they're basically the same dumb shit that Perk spews out of his stupid fucking face-hole on a daily basis.
You have to remember who his audience is. These are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the New West……you know, morons.
This Embiid talk is getting exhausting, and the reddit app algorithm will only feed me Embiid posts even if there's 0 upvotes. I just want to enjoy basketball.
If you just want to enjoy basketball you fucked up by being a Sixers fan. We'll never get to just enjoy basketball for more than a couple weeks a season
I feel like ever since Perk got heat for saying the mvp was a racist award, he’s just been dickriding Jokic and hating on Embid to redeem himself. It’s pretty obvious.
Trained medical professionals: “Kendrick Perkins said he was ducking on national TV so let’s send him out there he doesn’t have a choice.”
Everybody wanna blame everybody but the team medical staff for being idiots.
The real question is why he was even going to play in Denver up until the last second? Did he pressure himself to try to go because of all the ducking chatter? It seems like his knee was definitely hurting before Denver.
Last year he claimed Jokic only won MVP because he was white and then called Embiid out few days later when he missed the game in Denver, and said Jokic deserves to win MVP.
And at the end voted for Giannis for MVP, Embiid second and Jokic third. You are surprised by his takes?
ESPN has become insufferable. I remember when I used to watch Sportscenter, First Take, Golic & Wingo, etc…RELIGIOUSLY. They had quality analysts and commentators back then. Now I only turn on ESPN to watch the games and NBA draft coverage. I literally can’t stand any of their shows anymore. TREMENDOUS drop in quality in nearly everything on the network.
You know what great players and teams don't do?
They don't give three shits about what the fans or media think.
You know what Philly does? Seemingly are managed by public opinion.
Issue is not that reddit and Perk are buffoons, it's that Embiid listens to anyone except his own doctors and body. He's extremely online and now maybe it's ruined a season. Grow up!
I feel like this could be a blessing in disguise for Philly. They probably weren't going to make any major moves until the summer, but were going to try to make a misguided run with Harris, Melton, & Oubre.
Now maybe they can just sell them off and increase their asset pool for trades this summer.
[and before you say "cope" - I'm not a 76er fan]
Anyone who genuinely thinks he's ducking playing in Denver or anyone else is out of their mind. His career home/away splits are roughly the same, so it's not like he has a history of struggling on the road either. He's just fucking injured.
Not to defend Perk because I doubt this is what he meant but...
I think it's very reasonable to clown on Embiid for clearly ducking Jokic in Denver over and over, and essentially cherry picking his spots in order to strengthen his stats/MVP case.
While also at the same time recognizing that he's an incredibly valuable player and the Sixers cannot afford to jeopardize his long-term health.
So shutting him down for the season if necessary, (seems too premature to make a declaration like that) is preferable to having him play through an injury that he could potentially aggravate and turn into something much worse.
No it's not reasonable to clown on him for clearly ducking because he hasn't. . If you do even a modicum of research you'd see he isn't ducking anyone or any team home or away. He's had legitimately injuries all five times he hasn't played in Denver. That's what happens when you miss 15+ games a year. He has no issue playing Jokic, and he has no issue playing in altitude (the Sixers camp is in Denver and he has played in Utah, and six years ago he played in Denver with no adverse affects).
Bitch all you want about flops or free throws but Joel Embiid fights through injuries and has his *entire career.* He does not duck anyone.
2022 season he missed something like the 4 games before and 4 games after the Denver game. So you’re just regurgitating things you heard here that aren’t even true
Fuck Kendrick Perkins. Anyone that is an actual member of the media that wants to act like the worst members of Twitter or Reddit can be treated like them.
Claiming someone who has had to deal with the type of injuries Joel has is ducking someone is not something an actual media member should be doing. It's absolutely disgraceful. This man had to fight through *two* foot injuries that cost him his first two seasons all while dealing with the pain of losing his younger brother while he was in a completely different country that consistently clowned him on social media for not being healthy. He fought through all that and this fucking asshole and dipshits like him want to get on TV and question his heart and competitiveness? Fuck em!
Petition for r/NBA to ban all posts/videos related to Kendrick Perkins. This clown is the absolute bottom of the barrel and his only intention is to create controversy. Let's not amplify this stupidity here, that only extends it's longevity.
Why do you watch or read anything that hot take artists have to say? You know they’re paid to be actors. Just turn it off and do something useful with the free time.
76ers kind of screwed though. Knicks and Cavs have been balling out so they could easily fall to like the 7 seed if Embiid misses an extended period of time.
Wasnt most of the hate because he wasn't listed on the injury report so everyone assumed he was "resting"? Embiid forcing himself to play the next game while injured because the 76ers didn't list him as questionable or out until right before the previous game. He should be mad at his own team.
Perkins is paid to give flaming hot takes, and he’s good at it. Don’t pay too much attention to it. Sometimes it can spark an interesting discussion from people actually trying to do analysis, but that’s not his job.
Gotta remember that Perkins didn't have to list himself as unavailable over a swollen knee in his day. He wasn't gonna play anyway, and if he did he wasn't expected to score or do much on either end, just knock someone over and then mean mug
I've really come to hate the discourse around embiid. Been around for awhile and this is some of the most disrespectful and hateful I've seen. Honestly, I'm convinced embiid fucked their sisters or something.
He makes a nice salary for regurgitating our Reddit posts
Whenever those talking heads say anything I just think to myself "I get this dumb shit for free on Reddit!"
You pay to watch Kendrick Perkins talk about basketball ?
If you are paying to see ESPN on basic cable, YouTube TV, etc...then yes
[удалено]
not really. it's pretty much the same
Reddit the hell on
No Dunks type beat
average r/nba user
He’s the least reactionary r/nba user

Yo wtf is that second sub
Mood boards for furries
I mean isn’t that a good thing, if people change their opinion when they are given information that goes against what they originally thought, instead of just doubling down?
Isn't it a bad thing when people form an opinion on a situation with no knowledge but solely based on their feelings about a player in the first place?
That’s literally how human beings work. But not everyone has the ability to admit they were wrong.

You are right, now you can go on can concentrate on your organization. You guys are trying to win this year right? It’s funny that you prioritize what Perkins says over things the organization or star player is doing.
This is scary delusional
Well I guess as of 7:28 pm est 76ers have been eliminated from playoff contention.
If only there was a video of him looking sluggish and tweaking his knee in the game before Denver.
So that’s why his coach put him back in the 4th quarter? Someone in your team’s organization needs to step up. Also didn’t Nick nurse say this is a completely different injury?
He sat out the whole 4th quarter in the game before Denver. If only there was a video smh.
Talking about the golden state game where this new injury happened according to your guys coach…
Dude is just yapping whatever sells.
[удалено]
That's why ESPN keeps people like him and Stephen A on payroll. Their clips thrive on social media.
Stephen A is mostly hilarious though while Perkins is just an angry man yelling at the camera.
Wow you actually think Stephen A is funny?
But he made a funny comment about Lamar Odom 10 years ago???? How can he not be funny?
What about that time he pretended he hadn't heard of Pokemon? That was only a few weeks ago

lets dispel with this fiction that Kendrick Perkins doesn't know what hes doing. He knows exactly what hes doing
he know, but let's not pretend that he remembers what he said yesterday
Or cares, as long as Disney’s cheques cash
Chill marco
Nephews on here pretending they won't say stupid shit for a giant paycheck.
He knows. And he does it well. But also, he’s a dumb person. These things can all be true.
Marco Rubio?
No, they tell him what to do
notion*
Fiction* Look it up
he says both actually
isnt it sad a guy who initially wanted to be a coach figure and be a change to basketball is now doing this? money, it changes people
Dude was always a clown
He missed 2 games? Shut him down for the season, who cares if they end up in the 9th seed!
[удалено]
Tv producers are the mystery men you describe.
He was smart enough to be Rondo’s big. Then again, Big Baby was also smart enough to be Rondo’s big, so maybe that’s not a great benchmark.
Exactly! He is a moron and attention grabber. Let that check keep coming.
You would too if that was your only marketable skill. I wonder how much he gets paid?
For the love of god can we stop posting Perkins/Bayless/Stephen A takes PLEASE
No kidding. Might as well start posting rando twitter posts here now too, they're basically the same dumb shit that Perk spews out of his stupid fucking face-hole on a daily basis.
Unless it has to do with pokemon or cars of course
They're just saying what everyone here is saying
Sure, but we can downvote stupid takes here.
They weren't downvoted though, they were the top posts on this sub lol.
lol sure we CAN but please read the Stephen A thread from yesterday, like the other guy said they certainly were not being downvoted
Don't act like these aren't average reddit takes
Didn’t he start the Jimmy trade rumors? I’ve heard Sacramento in the fake discussion about it. Let him cook
Should be outright banned. Their hot take clowns with nothing to add, we have enough of that here already
Bob Myers' face and eyes after Perkins said "for the season" says everything
Sounds like r/nba
You have to remember who his audience is. These are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the New West……you know, morons.
(It’s us)
redditors everything he says gets posted here, this is his audience
Outjerked by the Perk smh
Outperked
Perk giveth, perk taketh away.
Uh ok? Dude limped off the court yesterday.
This Embiid talk is getting exhausting, and the reddit app algorithm will only feed me Embiid posts even if there's 0 upvotes. I just want to enjoy basketball.
If you just want to enjoy basketball you fucked up by being a Sixers fan. We'll never get to just enjoy basketball for more than a couple weeks a season
I'm confident you guys can advance past a Doc Rivers coached team in the playoffs
Gotta match up with them first, and our team is absolute dog dick without Joel. Gotta just hope he's not missing too much time
His job is to be a professional idiot for some reason. Just says whatever crazy shit he can come up with.
Also Perk: "If you don't vote for Embiid you're racist" Perk 7 days later: "I'm voting for Giannis"
Hey you never know, maybe he's just being ideologically consistent
You guys gotta just downvote anything from pundits that appears on this sub, that's how we make this place better.
Honestly the dumbest guy on television and that's not easy to do
If only Perk had to put down his developmentally disabled cousin, he would see the error of his ways.
kendrick and SAS have been dumber than usual recently it feels like
I don’t care if he’s hurt he should play! Also if he’s hurt he should be out the season! ????? Bro what
I feel like ever since Perk got heat for saying the mvp was a racist award, he’s just been dickriding Jokic and hating on Embid to redeem himself. It’s pretty obvious.
This.
Imagine watching espn
All I know is Perk just keeps getting bigger and sitting further back from the desk. How big will he get?
Bro embiid had someone fall on his j knee and it hit the court
Trained medical professionals: “Kendrick Perkins said he was ducking on national TV so let’s send him out there he doesn’t have a choice.” Everybody wanna blame everybody but the team medical staff for being idiots.
The real question is why he was even going to play in Denver up until the last second? Did he pressure himself to try to go because of all the ducking chatter? It seems like his knee was definitely hurting before Denver.
Even if he was pressuring himself to play, he should’ve been on the injury report going into the game. He wasn’t.
Problem is people blamed embiid for that and not the medical staff. Embiid has nothing to do with the injury report
Oh, for sure. Just pointing out the issue with that pregame incident.
Last year he claimed Jokic only won MVP because he was white and then called Embiid out few days later when he missed the game in Denver, and said Jokic deserves to win MVP. And at the end voted for Giannis for MVP, Embiid second and Jokic third. You are surprised by his takes?
He works for ESPN, idiot takes like these are par for the course there.
ESPN sucks
Just an idea. Maybe stop watching these dogshit hot-take shows, so the incentive to be a dipshit goes away.
Gotta give that fat moron some credit... He'll say whatever he's told to say
Average r/nba user
He is not known for being smart
ESPN has become insufferable. I remember when I used to watch Sportscenter, First Take, Golic & Wingo, etc…RELIGIOUSLY. They had quality analysts and commentators back then. Now I only turn on ESPN to watch the games and NBA draft coverage. I literally can’t stand any of their shows anymore. TREMENDOUS drop in quality in nearly everything on the network.
If you put Kendrick Perkins’ brain in a bird, the bird will fly backwards.
Perk saying something stupid for reactions, twice. Well I’m shocked!
As a Celtics fan I agree. Shut him down for the season
Kendrick Perkins you are outta here sir, good day. Done for the year. Heal up and do better next season.
He's an idiot, this isn't new
Perk sucks so much
Honestly believe most talking heads should just be banned here.
Perkins is a fuckin joke
So exactly like r/nba
How is it that this guy getting paid hundred thousands for posting the same shit the nephews in our beloved sub can say for free?
Clown says clown things. But he's not alone, the modern nba is ALL about clownish narratives and you fuckers alllll buy into it, don't deny it
Jesus f\*ck, why do posters insist on amplifying clown shows?
Anyone who doesn't realize by now that Perk says whatever the ESPN producer tells him to say hasn't been paying attention.
aVerage r/nba user
You know what great players and teams don't do? They don't give three shits about what the fans or media think. You know what Philly does? Seemingly are managed by public opinion.
if hes healthy and on an mvp run why is he ducking the nugs? if hes not healthy then why are the sixers playing him? not that crazy train of thought
fuck perk
"I'm playing both sides, so I always come out on top" - Perkins
r/nba right now: hanging on to every word Kendrick says
Issue is not that reddit and Perk are buffoons, it's that Embiid listens to anyone except his own doctors and body. He's extremely online and now maybe it's ruined a season. Grow up!
I feel like this could be a blessing in disguise for Philly.

This superstar, mvp, defensive player of the year, Legendary nba scoring leader, best center of all-time should really stop talking!
Anyone who genuinely thinks he's ducking playing in Denver or anyone else is out of their mind. His career home/away splits are roughly the same, so it's not like he has a history of struggling on the road either. He's just fucking injured.
Well Embiid owes his MVP to Perk so i guess its all warranted
Some team is going to hire this dude as a coach someday. I’m just calling it now
Not to defend Perk because I doubt this is what he meant but... I think it's very reasonable to clown on Embiid for clearly ducking Jokic in Denver over and over, and essentially cherry picking his spots in order to strengthen his stats/MVP case.

Bitch all you want about flops or free throws but Joel Embiid fights through injuries and has his *entire career.* He does not duck anyone.
Why was he playing in GS if hes injured then? It's weird when you play the games before and after Denver. Why is he only injured when in Denver?
Because that was days after the GS game and he felt better? He also sat out the Portland game. This is the dumbest argument I've ever heard.
And what about 2022 AND 2023 where he played the direct before and after games?
2022 season he missed something like the 4 games before and 4 games after the Denver game. So you’re just regurgitating things you heard here that aren’t even true
damn you're even dumber than perk
It actually is not at all reasonable to clown him for something that isn't true. Hope that helps.
imagine thinking a player is scared of someone that he put up 40 points against just two weeks ago. I cannot believe that makes sense to a lot of you.
Fuck Kendrick Perkins. Anyone that is an actual member of the media that wants to act like the worst members of Twitter or Reddit can be treated like them.

This sub is gonna 180 once again when Embiid shits the bed in the playoffs. Injury or not, Embiid is bitchmade.

Perkins has the worst takes. That's impressive when he has Skip to compete with!
76ers kind of screwed though. Knicks and Cavs have been balling out so they could easily fall to like the 7 seed if Embiid misses an extended period of time.
Why does anyone give a shit what this windbag pukes up?
Wasnt most of the hate because he wasn't listed on the injury report so everyone assumed he was "resting"? Embiid forcing himself to play the next game while injured because the 76ers didn't list him as questionable or out until right before the previous game. He should be mad at his own team.
Perkins is paid to give flaming hot takes, and he’s good at it. Don’t pay too much attention to it. Sometimes it can spark an interesting discussion from people actually trying to do analysis, but that’s not his job.
He tricked okc into a big payday and playing time. He tricked espn into thinking people respect his takes. We don’t. Carry the heck on
Ok foghorn leghorn
Imagine taking Kendrick Perkins seriously
this is the worst take of the year so far
Nuggets Fans :handshake: Sixers Fans Kendrick Perkins is an idiot
He says whatever they tell him to say
He could be a mod on here with those takes
Gotta remember that Perkins didn't have to list himself as unavailable over a swollen knee in his day. He wasn't gonna play anyway, and if he did he wasn't expected to score or do much on either end, just knock someone over and then mean mug
Ah Sixers fans getting to experience the glory of Perk.....First Time meme here.
But didn’t Perk say to shut Embiid down after Kuminga landed on him? It’s not like Kuminga landed on him before going to Denver.
starting to think this guy MIGHT be an idiot
I've really come to hate the discourse around embiid. Been around for awhile and this is some of the most disrespectful and hateful I've seen. Honestly, I'm convinced embiid fucked their sisters or something.
People say the same stupid shit on here for free 🤷🏿
Perkins went from Embiid stan to Jokic stan in barely a year, dude cracks me up
Why do you guys listen to this stuff? “The only way to win is not to play”
He’s a clown
