Embiid participated in the podcast "Check Ball Show." He said on the show: I'm probably the most annoying person in the league, I don't know why, I feel okay. I don't know what I hate, but I feel like a lot of people can understand my story and what I've been through.
As soon as this remark came out, it upset the fans! "By your own slump"? "If you touch it, you will fall, and when you lose, you will cry", "If you are cheap", etc., and so on!
Embiid is a player with a very strong personality who is hungry to win while never hiding his ambitions. He will always express his desire directly, but when achievements cannot match the rhetoric, there is only a thin line between heroes and "low emotional intelligence".
Former NBA legend Olajuwon believes that Embiid has the strengths of all the interior players in the league today, but he has not been able to make the most of them. In his opinion, Embiid should return to the position that an interior player should play in the low post with his back to the single, which is the most time-saving and effort-saving way to play, rather than shooting three-pointers from the outside every game.
has not played in the division finals, but won the MVP, Embiid is unique in NBA history, but this is not the main reason why he is criticized, the real reason is that Embiid did not show his demeanor as an MVP, and even many people call Embiid a soft egg center.
Embiid once said in an interview that he could have been the GOAT (the greatest player of all time), but he blamed the damn injury that ruined him, and he believes that at every critical moment in the schedule, either someone sits on his knee or his face is injured, so you know.
It is worth mentioning that the American media deliberately posted Embiid's tweet in 2014:
MVP rankings for the next few years: 1, Embiid 2, James 3, Kobe.
However, Dinwiddie, who was playing for the Pistons at the time, also retweeted this tweet with the caption: @恩比德, you're a clown.
