Hell yeah, baby.
That’s what I’m talking about.
You want to talk about the heart of a champion?
About grit, determination, and a commitment to both winning and team?
Then look no further than Joel Embiid.
Sure, he missed the first 9 games of the season due to a combination of health and suspension.
And sure, he’s not playing tonight because he’s already been ruled out of back-to-backs this season.
He could have gone out and just played the bare minimum 25.
But he knows how much he means to this city.
So instead of just playing 25 minutes, he goes the extra miles and logs a heroic 26.
Even after he almost died on the court!
It’s up to management to give a shot to protect their asset.
But holy fuck, man.
At some point Joel Embiid needs to call the shots.
At some point he needs to stand up to management and say enough is enough.
If this dude is serious about winning, then he’ll cut the bullshit and actually play the game.
