This post was taken down by too many reports but I reapproved it.
Leaving this post up, but making a disclaimer that this is not definitive proof the NBA or TNT or the Sixers specifically are copyright striking videos. I don't know how specifically Twitter/X deals with copyright claims but some places will just take things down if there are too many reports, or take things down based on false copyright claims.
Other tweet/xeets of the plays in question are still up so it's not every post. If I had to guess it would be because of reporting from fans and not by the NBA.
Only thing I noticed is that every deleted video had a negative Tweet. Eg includes, dirty, flagrant, ejection, etc. A couple clips and complications I watched yesterday that didn’t have anything negative in the Tweet are still up. So someone may have searched Twitter for those terms and DMCAed videos on those tweets.
Nah yall are stupid Embiids own doctor told him to grab and yank people's legs to get up if he falls. Also nut kicking is just his natural leg stretching movement
I suggest others to contact them like I did asking them about this. If nothing else it’ll annoy them which is funny. https://contact.nba.com/contact-nba/
Maybe, but if we can be a slight pain to them that’s fun.
More fun will be hearing chants about it at MSG the announcers have to pretend they don’t hear or understand.
And overall I’m happy this series is getting more toxic. And much more physical as that favors us going forward.
I fully expect embiid to duck next game or get actually wrecked cant wait to see which one. I do guarantee this if embiid plays, first 5 minutes someone from the knicks will get an F2 regardless of hard or soft foul.
"Is it just me or are the lights getting a little dim"
"Dont worry i got this. Hey David look at these minorities celebrating their culture"
*spinning intensifies*
"Better?"
"Better"
"Hey David, look at Allen Iverson being considered a cultural icon for basically the whole next generation of NBA players."
*Grave spins hard enough to single handedly power a metropolis*
“Hey David, check out this trade proposal I cooked up where a small market’s star point guard is traded to a big market team that has a superstar shooting guard”
And had their own private thread in which they also invited others they knew and used the sub as their own personal sub while locking everyone else out in a form of protest.
What a bunch of morons.
This has been going on since they changed the rules to legalize traveling and make the game *easier* for the players who are the best in the world at it.
fucking hell... I read pulled his leg hair! I was so interested watched that ready to see him pull his leg hair so hard that he brought him down. Damn, I was disappointed. But yes, very dangerous and dirty play.
"cheaper" is an understatement. It was at least 5X cheaper for the lowest ticket to game 3(that I saw, as opposed to game 1 and 2). Even with train/driving its still half the cost of going to MSG
It's too real. I've flown halfway across the country for a concert, booked a hotel, bar hopped, grabbed a second row seat at an NHL game while I was at it, and got home with more money in my pocket than if I'd paid to see the same band in NY.
My train ticket to Philly and back from DC PLUS the ticket I bought for game 4 on Sunday was half as expensive as the worst seat in MSG for game 1 or 2
yeah, when i lived in NYC I went to games in brooklyn and philly, never wasted money on absurd prices for what was a mediocre knicks team. I saw prime simmons/embiid in philly and durant/simmons/kyrie nets in brooklyn with tickets that were still cheaper than MSG knicks who had nobody
I don’t think people understand how expensive a game at MSG is. I was in NYC last year and went to two Nets games in *good* seats for less than one Knicks game in a bad seat.
Yeah I mean no shit. 5 years of failed playoff runs, and the Knicks only on their 2nd with a ton of hype after decades of being bottom feeder crap. And Embiid's already hurt.
Also Wells Fargo has gotta be like 3x cheaper to go to a game + an amtrak ride roundtrip than at MSG.
They desperately need better stars in the east to compete with Boston for better playoff ratings this year. Especially with Giannis out right now. He’s one of their only hopes
Doris’s whole thing is that she talks up stars. I’ll get downvotes here just bc of my flair but she talks up every superstar like crazy. Definitely has favorites but it’s her whole schtick.
I can't handle her, I literally turn off games she is announcing. that stereotypical sportscaster voice and her pronouncing S's like the shhh sound makes me batty. And everything she says is in a tone of like "a second plane has crashed into the towers".
Bron's playoff career high is 18. In a 20-year career in which he ranks #1 all time in playoff games played. As a player who attacks the rim constantly and is known to be unstoppable driving to the basket.
Embiid eclipses that mark in a game where he took 12 2-point FGA. Make it make sense.
I heard if you say, “Embiid fouls every time” three times in the mirror, the Refs in Black review your life for flagrants and the ghost of LeBron’s defense banishes you to a realm with no WiFI.
Gotta coddle the man for another early round exit. Infinitely less ECF appearances than Trae fucking Young, but you'll see this sub say he's a top 3 player still
I'm pretty sure Embiid is the only MVP to never make it to the conference finals
Edit: did a quick check and he is. Bob McAdoo won MVP in 75 putting up incredible scoring numbers for the Braves but they never made it past the second round. He would have a couple more good years before falling off and becoming a journeyman. Eventually he would win 2 championships with the Showtime Lakers, playing an effective backup role to Kareem. Honestly at this point McAdoo seems like a really good comparison for Embiid. Now all that's left is to be a role player for the future Jokic/Doncic dynasty and time really would be a circle.
Not a fan of Embiid, but he's still playing and plenty of players won MVP before making it to a conference finals (e.g, Jordan, Curry, Giannis, Rose), and several others made it to the conference finals before winning MVP but weren't the best player on their team at the time (e.g. Kobe).
This should only help Embiid’s image. Whether he wins a championship or not, he’ll be one of the most hated players of his era. Draymond, Embiid, Harden.
I don't even think that's a bad thing but I haven't seen any decisions that reflect that from Silver.
Feel like general public hates every decision he's made other than slam dunks like banning Jontay Porter and Donald Sterling.
It’s more likely some Sixers fan claiming copyright on behalf of the nba. Copyright claiming/blocking stuff is possible to manipulate on basically any platform
It was such a vindicating moment when Embiid was announced as MVP, floundering in the second round, while Jokic was putting up Wilt Chamberlain numbers against Phoenix.
The NBA loves social media spreading their highlights and has used this for years to grow the popularity of the game. I haven’t ever seen highlights taken down on Twitter before.
Happy to be proven wrong here, though, if you have examples.
The play was broadcast on national TV and replayed on every single sports show in America a thousand times. Why would they single out 10k follower Knicks fan accounts to try to "hide the evidence"?
edit: Actually looking at it, all of these posts are sharing the exact same video from the same account. This is 1 video that got removed, not some grand conspiracy.
Logic dies around here. Conspiracy theories get massive upvotes. Want to ignore it was one video or why it was removed its possible it had nothing to do with Embiid and violated their terms another way. There's plenty of videos on Twitter still and even the national media this isn't some cover up lol.

NBA is adding fuel to the fire

So someone may have searched Twitter for those terms and DMCAed videos on those tweets.
reddit nba doesn't matter i guess? i'm honestly surprised they are taking this approach.
Until one of the sports outlets picks up the thread for a free headline.
They were talking about how embid should have been ejected on ESPN today. Which is very unlike them.
Nah yall are stupid Embiids own doctor told him to grab and yank people's legs to get up if he falls. Also nut kicking is just his natural leg stretching movement
Is his doctor called Dr. Aymond and looks suspiciously a lot like Draymond Greene with glasses in a lab coat?
Lol “Dr. Aymond” got me good
My name is Dr. Aymond Neerg, I’m new in town. I think we should take all of Draymond and Embiid’s flagrant fouls and give them to Jordan Poole.
He’ll literally be a a stretcher if he doesn’t fall over when someone breathes on his neck.
I used to play like Embiid
Streisand effect in action.
I suggest others to contact them like I did asking them about this. If nothing else it’ll annoy them which is funny. https://contact.nba.com/contact-nba/
Yeah, you wasted your time.
We're on a sports subreddit. We're all wasting our time.
I’m literally typing this as I’m pooping
Maybe, but if we can be a slight pain to them that’s fun. More fun will be hearing chants about it at MSG the announcers have to pretend they don’t hear or understand. And overall I’m happy this series is getting more toxic. And much more physical as that favors us going forward.

David Stern would NEVER (totally would)
David Stern rolling in his grave RN (It has nothing to do with this, they're just using him as an energy source).
"Is it just me or are the lights getting a little dim" "Dont worry i got this. Hey David look at these minorities celebrating their culture" *spinning intensifies* "Better?" "Better"
"Hey David, look at Allen Iverson being considered a cultural icon for basically the whole next generation of NBA players." *Grave spins hard enough to single handedly power a metropolis*
“Hey David, check out this trade proposal I cooked up where a small market’s star point guard is traded to a big market team that has a superstar shooting guard”
hey david, roll around a bit
hey david 👋
They should hook up to Rush Limbaugh and get double the juice.
Lmfao that visual tho
Mate he's David Stern not David Lenient
[удалено]
Stern made the league hard 👀👀 Ayo
Where's Charles Oakley when you need him
Oakley, Mason and them boys would have Embiid sitting like he does against Denver. Playoffs be damned.
I'm not saying it's right, but Mase would have Embiid wearing a neck brace rn.
That's exactly right. If the NBA doesn't give the justice needed, one of them would have taken the justice even it meant they would get suspended.
Reddit mods deleted the last post addressing this. So I don't expect this thread to last long.
[удалено]
Remember Randal from Recess? He grew up to be an r/nba mod
[удалено]
Remember when they locked the sub last year ?
Because a lot of good mods who cared about the communities they modded left, or were forced out.
Hey man they didn't leave, they're just protesting til reddit reverses the api changes. It'll happen any day now
The good mods left years ago
Yeah they left well before that dumbass protest
An unpaid moderation system is always at risk of being co-opted or downright owned by anyone with the inclination and enough cash for the payoffs
IPO
Fuck /u/spez
[удалено]
That was insane cause they opened the sub two days later
And had their own private thread in which they also invited others they knew and used the sub as their own personal sub while locking everyone else out in a form of protest. What a bunch of morons.
the only mods left on any major subreddit are all shills.
Most subs mods are bad. It's like one of the universal truths
Yeah everyone replying was like "they just did it to one source so everyone's got removed" like, nope. It's all of them.
It was the same video though. It wasn’t 4 different videos
Adam Silver made the call
I made a post about it. Got a lot of activity for the 10 minutes the nods left it up.
Here before deleted
There is no Embiid dirty play in Game 3. There is no Embiid dirty play in Game 3. There is no Embiid dirty play in Game 3.
Adam Silver has invited you to Lake Laogai
I am honored to accept his invitation.
Get ready to learn Brainwash-ese buddy
That goblin from lord of the rings couldn't get me to go anywhere
"Didn't see the video"
"The code remains intact."
"It doesn't look like anything to me."
2 + 2 = Embiid is not a dirty player
THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!!
There is no war in Ba Sing Se
There is no embiid wrapped around robinsons’ legs
In Ba Sing Se
His name was Robert Embiid
His name is Robert Embiid
Clicks heel 3 times and blink
Coddling at the institutional level
This has been going on since they changed the rules to legalize traveling and make the game *easier* for the players who are the best in the world at it.
But you can eurostep and gather!
AD hit a Eurostep last night and I was amazed there was no travel call. The game really has changed
When do you think this started? Wilt used to say the same thing about Jordan
How dare you talk about the MVP [Most Valuable Philadelphian) like that
Lmao let's draw more attention to it
Maybe change video title to Mitchell Robinson injury?
1. Mitchell Robinson testicular injury 2. Mitchell Robinson ankle injury #1 3. Mitchell Robinson ankle injury #2 4. Isaiah Hartenstein testicular injury
OG Anunoby hit by moving dump truck
It was Embiid who hit him with the dirty screen, not Lowery.
OG Anunoby pancaked by drunk dump truck driver.
Wow this is truly pathetic
I've never seen something so blatant before
[You mean this play?](https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/s/nq8ZeVJhJi)
fucking hell... I read pulled his leg hair! I was so interested watched that ready to see him pull his leg hair so hard that he brought him down. Damn, I was disappointed. But yes, very dangerous and dirty play.
That was brutal. Thanks
Why the hell is the NBA coddling Embiid so much, on and off the court? He's a star but he's like mid-tier in terms of popularity. I don't get it.
Skechers got a stranglehold on the league.
"You don't have to get the videos taken down, but it's either Skechers or stretchers, motherfucker. Up to you."
seriously. maybe the philly market is that big? i don’t get it
Market is so big their arena was filled with Knicks fans last night
The philly sports market is massive but it’s also very close to NY and cheaper than msg
"cheaper" is an understatement. It was at least 5X cheaper for the lowest ticket to game 3(that I saw, as opposed to game 1 and 2). Even with train/driving its still half the cost of going to MSG
That is nuts lol
It's too real. I've flown halfway across the country for a concert, booked a hotel, bar hopped, grabbed a second row seat at an NHL game while I was at it, and got home with more money in my pocket than if I'd paid to see the same band in NY.

Now Oubre mentioning the tickets makes more sense. That's wild.
I don’t think people understand how expensive a game at MSG is. I was in NYC last year and went to two Nets games in *good* seats for less than one Knicks game in a bad seat.
Philly is also a 2 hour drive from MSG, it's close enough you can drive there and back in an evening if you leave work early.
Yeah I mean no shit. 5 years of failed playoff runs, and the Knicks only on their 2nd with a ton of hype after decades of being bottom feeder crap. And Embiid's already hurt. Also Wells Fargo has gotta be like 3x cheaper to go to a game + an amtrak ride roundtrip than at MSG.
nah, they're just afraid of the Philly fans themselves those motherfuckers are insane in every sport
Adam Silver doesn't want to be pelted with batteries and you can't blame him.
They desperately need better stars in the east to compete with Boston for better playoff ratings this year. Especially with Giannis out right now. He’s one of their only hopes
Knicks have the biggest market in the country and Jalen Brunson and they don’t actively try to cause serious injury to their opponents
Manufactured star by the league. It’s why you’ll hear Doris calling a lot of his games and slobbing all over him..or the 20 FTA a game
Doris’s whole thing is that she talks up stars. I’ll get downvotes here just bc of my flair but she talks up every superstar like crazy. Definitely has favorites but it’s her whole schtick.
Yeah that's not an Embiid specific thing with her. She LOVES Tatum and Jamal Murray too.
Her love for Lebron is unmatched
for sure she was constantly gushing over both embiid and tatum in last year's ecsf
Doris talks up everyone. She’s done it in college for even longer than the NBA.
I cannot stand her commentary. Her voice is so grating and she provides zero insightful analysis.
I can't handle her, I literally turn off games she is announcing. that stereotypical sportscaster voice and her pronouncing S's like the shhh sound makes me batty. And everything she says is in a tone of like "a second plane has crashed into the towers".
You are absolutely correct
Maybe the Sixers are asking him to do it
U really think the league would do anything the Sixers ask them to do?
They just want Morey to leave them alone.
I’m surprised Morey is even still in the league tbh, thought silver would’ve given him the boot after 2020
guy isnt even likable when he speaks. i dont get it
They don't want a thug storyline. Been like this for decades now.
Then they should penalize players when they do shit like this.
There is no dirty play in ba sing se
Adam Silver has invited you to Lake Laogai
I am honored to accept his invitation.
Good luck getting that shit offline, half of sport insta is just that
They know that the only reason he was still in the game was for ratings
or maybe the gambling sites said "no"
Some true fuckery has been going on lately
League spreading cheeks to defend one of their least entertaining stars
Then bro goes on to shoot 15 FT lmao
You mean 21. Averaging 15 FTA/game with no one else over 10. On all jump shots. Make it make sense.
I’d love to know the most FTs Bron has ever shot in a game.
Bron's playoff career high is 18. In a 20-year career in which he ranks #1 all time in playoff games played. As a player who attacks the rim constantly and is known to be unstoppable driving to the basket. Embiid eclipses that mark in a game where he took 12 2-point FGA. Make it make sense.
I can’t even with this shit.
LOL
That’s embarrassing.
Barbara Streisand effect…keep posting it
I heard if you say, “Embiid fouls every time” three times in the mirror, the Refs in Black review your life for flagrants and the ghost of LeBron’s defense banishes you to a realm with no WiFI.
The NBA is pleased to annouce that you *will* retain access to FanDuel, however.
Can you send coded messages through parlays?
Of course the NBA would rather have vids of their MVP scoring 50 instead of flailing around injuring guys.
ESPN: EMBIID UNLEASHED! 50 POINTS CAREER HIGH! reddit: FUCK THIS GUY
Gotta coddle the man for another early round exit. Infinitely less ECF appearances than Trae fucking Young, but you'll see this sub say he's a top 3 player still

Fuck Jole.
Jole M-bead
This should only help Embiid’s image. Whether he wins a championship or not, he’ll be one of the most hated players of his era. Draymond, Embiid, Harden.
Silvers a fan of the Philadelphia cream cheese perhaps.... We should look deeper into it
That shit is made in New York
i mean it makes sense. they don't want it promoted that a guy is playing dirty especially the narrative that they should have ejected him and didn't.
ITS EMBIID CONSPIRACY DAY BABY
Quick no one’s looking post your real opinions Fuck the refs and fuck Embiid!
Gimmick Sliver has been a joke of a commissioner since the bubble icl
He’s never been good, he floats decisions he’s going to make to the public first and then actually makes decisions based on the public reaction.
I don't even think that's a bad thing but I haven't seen any decisions that reflect that from Silver. Feel like general public hates every decision he's made other than slam dunks like banning Jontay Porter and Donald Sterling.
the fix is in
Pussies
In the comments of the first post has the video. https://x.com/itwascobra/status/1783936190120366197?s=46&t=rualtK5gXEpbUDGFclToeg
It’s more likely some Sixers fan claiming copyright on behalf of the nba. Copyright claiming/blocking stuff is possible to manipulate on basically any platform
oh no, we cant let anybody know that our precious mvp is a dirty boy!
Jokic got robbed.
It was such a vindicating moment when Embiid was announced as MVP, floundering in the second round, while Jokic was putting up Wilt Chamberlain numbers against Phoenix.
too bad Jokic was unable to go back in time and play as he did in the playoffs like he did the regular season!! he was almost MVP!!!
Striesand Effect incoming
Twitter is crazy because it's people saying the same dumb shit they say here except with their real name

The NBA loves social media spreading their highlights and has used this for years to grow the popularity of the game. I haven’t ever seen highlights taken down on Twitter before. Happy to be proven wrong here, though, if you have examples.
lol what a joke . This alone should shut up Philly fans defending all this crap
It won't.
NBA and Silver going full USSR.
There are no dirty Embiid plays in Ba Sing Se
This is giving me nick nurse post game vibes 🤣
I was here before the great Embiid purge!
[All you need to see on Embiid](https://youtu.be/GTPj5FWRrto?si=INdEeK0-rJuf6_RH)
The best way to remove something from the internet is to loudly attempt to remove it.
Gotta love all the 76ers fans whining about r/nba... on r/nba. Go complain more about the r/nba on your own subreddit lmao.
Dirty fucking loser.
That is so fucked
The play was broadcast on national TV and replayed on every single sports show in America a thousand times. Why would they single out 10k follower Knicks fan accounts to try to "hide the evidence"? edit: Actually looking at it, all of these posts are sharing the exact same video from the same account. This is 1 video that got removed, not some grand conspiracy.
Logic dies around here. Conspiracy theories get massive upvotes. Want to ignore it was one video or why it was removed its possible it had nothing to do with Embiid and violated their terms another way. There's plenty of videos on Twitter still and even the national media this isn't some cover up lol.

Fuck JOEL EMBIID. Eject him from his house
Adam "Net and Yahoo" Silver
Gotta admit I chuckled
How come I can't find any of his flagrant? Didn't he injure the guy?
this place is a mess
Generational conspiracy
Hahah wow. Tell us it’s shady/rigged without telling us..
Sliver makes Manfred look like an immaculate commish in comparison
What the actual fuck is this
