Hey Jay, Embiid did take responsibility during the press conference. But he also held his other teammates accountable. Simmons just isn't built for the criticism

[MoniqueXSM]

Is it that the media has selective hearing? Joel walked through a series of plays in the final minutes of the game. One play, credited to Ben passing the open layup / dunk off to Matisse AND the other play of Joel turning it over. He legit said, that’s on me. Here the media goes again, picking one piece of a whole & postulating it as the whole.

[zellodavis]

Embiid was right, that was the turning point. Joe’s also being smart here, he needs to help try to salvage Ben’s value to add as good of a guard as possible out of the trade. More broadly, the fans and organization supported and babied Ben for years

[vonatellowavygng]

Joel literally said “it’s on me” at the end of the clip

[goldenarms]

imagine if the Sixers kept Jimmy. what Joel Embiid said then and now is tame compared to what Butler wouldve said

[philly]

The sixers did everything they could to accommodate Ben. What can you do when your point guard literally won’t shoot and is shooting 34 percent from the FT line. But yea let’s blame Embiid and the organization lol

[someguyjohn]

Im confused. They literally just played Audio of Joel taking Accountability for his turnovers in his Game 7 Post conference Interview, and yet they still say he "Threw Ben under the Bus".

[matt_oworu_]

He also scored 2 points in a half when his team needed him …. That was a turning point also

[KDuff-]

Threw himself under the Bus how u an NBA player n scared to shoot. Brick Simmons get no sympathy he gets paid 30+ million to play video games, Fw ig models n shoot bricks

[mahirwemoses]

So Embiid recapping the final moments of the game is throwing Ben Simmons under the bus?

[dako]

Simmons wants to be babied and coddled. He's just not made for Philly, or for being held accountable. Good riddance

[thumbsdown]

The last man said the only thing that needed to be said! Ben make your free throws! Ben Simmons is holding himself back

[AntDogg]

He threw him under the bus? I've never seen someone more coddled than Ben Simmons. He refused to shoot in 4 4th quarters. This is his job.

j will is so bad at commentating. embiid had a MCL tear

[marcm]

Jwill lost credibility when he said I spoke to Rich Paul yesterday. Not saying but just saying my man is bias towards this subject. When you say I agree with Bens criticism BUT…come on man! This is Ben’s issue! I would be pissed too if we continuously get bounced and Ben’s shooting is always the focal point. Fans, coaches, and players have been patient for too long. Elevate your game Ben!

[lucasborja]

Ben Simmons has the mentality of a 4 year old girl

[deesee]

Jay Williams just making up stuff Ben feelings were hurt after they tried to trade him for James Harden

[teachergotgame]

Jay Will needs to shut up forever. The Sixers fired a coach put shooters around him, gave him a supermax, and chose Jimmy Butler over him. Ben is soft. All we wanted was him to do what any person who ever held a basketball to do. And he won’t do it. It doesn’t even have to go in. No team wants a guy like him whose poses no offensive threat.

Never thought JWill would be on someone's Payroll. SMH. This dude Rich Paul really runs this league.

[heic]

Ben threw himself under the bus, I don't think he "can't" shoot, he refused to shoot. The boy lost all confidence with himself, he already missed before he took a shot. Kids today are too affected by what people they have never met, and will never meet say. Ben can go to China and still miss before he shoot. Shutdown the toxic social media and play like a man.
