“Throw Joel Embiid out, suspend him” Skip Bayless throws shade at NBA for not handing ‘Poster-Boy’ with flagrant-2 foul for smacking Jimmy Butler in the face
Dillon Brooks fouling Gary Payton II and Joel Embiid fouling Jimmy Butler
Sports media personality, Skip Bayless is surely not someone who would hold back his thoughts in front of anyone or anybody. On the same note, Bayless was completely on the other side of the incident when Dillon Brooks shoved Gary Payton II from behind in Grizzlies vs Warriors Game 2, resulted in the Memphis star being ejected from the game and even suspended from the next game.
Bayless went onto state that just because Dillon Brooks is no poster-boy for the league, he has been handed with massive ejections. And that particular foul on Gary Payton II was mere basketball play. Little did anyone, know even Philadelphia 76ers’ marquee Joel Embiid went onto dash his former teammate Jimmy Butler in the same manner in Sixers vs Heat Game 4.

What was opinionated by Skip Bayless?
Talking about the particular play, in the third quarter Joel Embiid found his paint being attacked by Jimmy Butler. In an attempt to block his layup, Embiid smacked the head of Jimmy Butler in a vicious manner.
Which resulted in Butler lying on the floor, holding his face. But given the respected between both the spoken off personnel, the potential MVP went onto show good sportsmanship spirit to Butler and picked him up. But that particular play did not result in Sixers’ marquee being thrown out of the game. Certainly, a valid point made by Skip Bayless here.
When Brooks fouled Payton II, within minutes he was ejected from the game. But given the physicality of this particular play, Skip Bayless did go onto trigger the league for not ejecting Embiid, because of the value he holds for his team and NBA in general.
That being said the 70-year-old analysts is surely going to opinionate upon this matter in the next episode of Undisputed, what more shall be elaborate upon? Remains to be seen, but for now it is the Sixers who have managed to come-back from behind to level the series 2-2 against top seed Miami Heat.
