Because he’s very sensitive and he’s a troll on top of it. Embiid always cited Hakeem as one of the guys he models his game after. He was probably up in his feels and thought he was being attacked.
Really easy to be taken out of context and some are eager to do so. I doubt this is much.
Emotional IQ is what he lacks. He lets things bother him and get to him. The Dream is a hero of his so those comments probably hurt the dude and he has a horrible tendency to show it when he’s in his feels. Remember his comments last spring? “I think the media just hates me”. (I don’t think he’s wrong; but you don’t give them the satisfaction of saying it out loud).
Nothing else to report as we approach NFL playoff weekend. You’re right. It’s not a big deal…at the same time, it’s a big deal to #21. He thinks he got trashed by his hero. I’ve followed the guy enough to know his bitterness and sadness was dripping from those comments ha.
They will some day. He’s one of the most gifted players of his generation.
He actually doesn’t. He’s as sharp as a tack and speaks like 6 languages but I get it. He’s African.
Like I said, context. Maybe he was stupid, but I doubt we know it all. Embiid will be right there in that hof someday as well.
