Embiid CANNOT be the FACE OF THE FRANCHISE - Stephen A. says 76ers should prioritize Maxey | Get Up

Stephen A. Smith joins Get Up to react to the New York Knicks eliminating the Philadelphia 76ers from the 1st round of the playoffs after a 118-115 win and discusses what the 76ers should do moving forward.

Stephen A really wants Embiid in New York to the point he is creating narratives😂😂😂

[miguellafortune]

Embiid can’t be the face of the Franchise but Zion who has yet to play a SINGLE playoff game for the pelicans can according to Stephen A..cmon my guy

[Princelee]

He is the franchise.. Harris had no points 😂😂😂

[tigerhoods]

Playoffs always show how important the role players are because it can’t just be your best players doing everything

[mattypaul]

Tobias Harris only attempting 2 shots is even more telling. It's one thing to have a rough shooting night, but to be paid so much and only attempt 2 shots in an elimination game? Brutal stuff. I continue to feel bad for Embiid. Dude averaged 33 PPG, 10 RPG, and almost 6 APG in this series and didn't have much help other than Maxey.

[Killa_Kamz]

I honestly think PG would go to LAL before PHI tbh. To say he loves his home town LA is an understatement

[Clear]

Embiid is 30 now, he is who he is. You can't win with him as your number 1

[charlesdarks]

From "better than Jokic" to "not the face of the franchise" in less than 1 year. Only Stephen A can be wrong twice on the same argument contraddicting himself and still be considerate a basketball expert. 😆

[BigBroKuma]

"4th quarter yelling why tf Tobias in." 🤣🤣🤣

[DAFR]

Embiid is the “franchise player” that usually leads “his” team to the second round. he couldn’t even do that this season 😂

[allenross]

paul george will be a fool to sign with philly lol, they just gonna make him the nba scapegoat when embiid chokes again

[DeLaCruz_]

Guy had 39 on one leg and half a face.

[pol]

Embid cannot be face of Franchise but if you ask him he will choose Embid over joker every-time.

[playitdontrateithomie-keve]

Lol Stephen A is so dumb. Maxey has been horrible without Embiid this series. Dude shot 25% FG without Joel on the floor lol. And shot 54 TS% without Joel in the regular season this season. He's nowhere near being the face of the Sixers nor is he good enough to be as he can't consistently create his own shot when defenses focus on him and he's only good at scoring.

[RedHoodFH]

Sixers have to be the worst failed experiment. All that tanking and trust the process for.... this?

[DamianBadalamenti]

I feel sorry for the Philly fans, "The Process" has been a failure and these poor fans have to defend a player and vision that juat isnt going to deliver them any championships or really any quality postseason runs.
I'm sorry Embiid and the process has let you down so hard.

[skitchproof]

Embiid plays unreal ball for 40 games a season

[BigYARK]

As a fan, this year I'm not blaming Embiid. His effort is not in question. He was amazing in that game and exceeded expectations when you consider his health.

Maxey was not having a good game and he was too focused on getting calls, Nick Nurse had idiotic lineups out there in big time moments, Tobias Harris is not a threat and did absolutely nothing in 29min of play. The team in general is too focused on out-talenting other teams instead of having an actual offense with schemes and counters. The defense only ever peaks in desperation situations instead of staying tough and consistent throughout.

Should've never got rid of Matisse, we need to remove Tobias Harris from the team, sign more athletic players that can rebound and defend, and stop making so many excuses. Stop relying on the refs to win you the game

[Riles]

Y’all are disrespecting Latrell Sprewell by not having him in that post 73 all-time Knick conversation. Spree was the best player on the last New York Knicks team to get to the finals in lockout 99 and was the best player on the Knicks team that got to the ECF a year later, losing to the Pacers in 6. You could honestly make the case that he had a greater Knick tenure than Melo.

[noura]

Dude’s always hurt. Flops all over the place and then plays dirty himself. I used to be a fan of Embiid but this year certainly exposed him.
