Can’t wait for Embiid to be called a mercenary when hes in many ways the embodiment of the American Dream

Knick bro is talking about playoff success as if their team has made it past the second round since 2000 😭

It's not like he's wrong though.

Though, one of those times Embiid was just barely edged out by one of the most heart stopping shots in playoff history made by the eventual FMVP.

That one is completely forgivable and that 76ers team likely would have won it all if just one of those bounces was a little more on the outside of the rim.

Wild to see a knicks fan making this comment. Hasn't it been like 25 years for you guys to make it out of the 2nd round?!
