However, Embiid’s recent comments about the […]

Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid has always been hard to read. He’s part jester, part enigma, and at times, painfully honest. But behind the trolling, the one-liners, and the stone-faced media answers is a player deeply shaped by loss, distrust, and loneliness. That complex emotional makeup surfaced again during a rare moment of vulnerability […]

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George was one of the most disappointing players in the NBA last season. The former All-Star fell far short of expectations with the 76ers.
