‘Bro be on his back more than an OF model” – NBA Twitter EMBARASSED of Joel Embiid after fan creates flopping compilation

The Philadelphia 76ers are one of the two teams in the playoffs to have a perfect record so far. Up 3-0 against the Brooklyn Nets, the Sixers are looking pretty solid heading into the next round. Philly didn’t have any problem closing games at home. Though Game 3, was tough for the Sixers playing Brooklyn. The team managed to edge out by a small margin, as they put all their efforts into the first half.

A great example of this was Joel Embiid’s performance. It wasn’t the best game for Embiid as he managed to put up 14 points and 10 boards. Though these numbers weren’t Joel’s highlight of the game. Fans had never seen such a performance by Embiid, especially in a playoff game.

Joel had managed to fall more than 18 times on the floor in the first half. Though such stats are never recorded, this seemed to be a playoff game record. Embiid struggled to get rebounds, missed his balance quite a lot of times when near the rim, and fouled as well. Joel finished the game with five fouls and five turnovers. It was to the point where a fan made a compilation of all the poor plays by Embiid in Game 3.

Joel Embiid put a little too much effort into every play

With Tyrese Maxey leading the way with 25 points and James Harden scoring 21, Philly had a decent final score. Joel is the most anticipated player in the MVP conversation and to see him perform as he did was quite unlikely to expect. Fans on Twitter went into a frenzy after watching Embiid’s flopping compilation.

NBA fans on social media made all sorts of comments on Embiid, calling him a flopper and judging his MVP chances. After seeing the possible league MVP play below his level in playoffs, no fan would hold back second thoughts about the MVP award. The Sixers are set to play Game 4 on Saturday, though Joel has been officially ruled out for the next game.

It will be interesting to see whether the Sixers can still manage to sweep the Nets without Joel Embiid on the floor. Exciting times are ahead.
