Someone asked me to name Embiid’s most memorable playoff moment, and deadass, the first thing that came to my mind was the Kawhi shot 😂 like that’s where his legacy is at

[henningts]

Not to forget that he begged France for a passport and wanted to play for them and after he got it he changed his mind and asked the USA the same. This guy has no back bone.

Flooper, dirty player, a crying MVP, not a real leader, Playoff choker, boring play style

Embiid is just the perfect player to hate

[RinslerRR]

My favorite Embiid highlight is him crying 😭 after losing to Toronto

[Joemon_]

Embiid is a bully that’s acts like a weak victim, that’s why everyone hates him

[NeonRazer]

It's always great to see Embiid get knocked out of the playoffs early.

Dude is big and yet he always falls on his own when driving to the basket and gets called a foul. I hate that.

[uncarpincho]

Poor Embiid, he's not getting calls for every single touch

[danielfrank]

That Mitchell Robinson play is so infuriating he not only actually injured him for that game but now the Knicks may be without their backup center for the rest of the playoffs because that giant infant had a temper tantrum

This guy always finds a way to end up on the floor

His antics against Andre Drummond and the pistons from 2017-2019 made me hate the guy's guts. Got Drummond ejected on a flop and foul baited his way to free throws and taunting. 5 years later, everyone else catches on.

Feel like he`s been hated before, but now after the Mitchell Robinson incident you can put him into the dirty player category. Oh and not to forget that he plays for team USA this olympics.

And his constant avoiding going against Jokic. His MVP campaign seemed like him just begging for it.

I know people hate on Ben Simmons. But throwing ur teammate under the bus is a crazy dick move

[AnimeNerdsgaesht]

Average 20+ Free Throws per game is wild

[JaMorantfan]

It crazy how many good players embiid has played with and still hasn’t made it past the second round

[TropicaIJay]

No it's not "official" there's not a single player or athlete ever, more hated than Lebron. Lebron is the only guy who has equal amounts of haters as he does fans

[excalibruh]

The choker he didn't deserves last year's MVP😂

[ger.m.a.ngiant]

It’s about time the media is focused on embiid as the root of the problems for Philly. Even when Ben Simmons passed up that open dunk that season, the following full season with harden was not even better. I’ve reached the point where even if embiid was playing 100% healthy he would still underperform. As bad as Ben Simmons was as a scorer, he hid a lot of the problems that Philly had.

You should’ve showed Nuggets fans holding up his missing posters
