Embiid Work Ethic Debate Ignites Fan Fury | Philadelphia 76ers News
from Philadelphia 76ers News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Max Kellerman sparked a firestorm by questioning Joel Embiid’s work ethic, citing whispers from Team USA’s Olympic run — but Rich Paul swiftly shut that down, defending Embiid’s dedication. Fans roared back, calling it absurd to label an MVP and late-blooming superstar “lazy,” especially as he rose from never touching a ball until age 16 to become one of the league’s elite. Critics also accused the media of setting up a narrative to blame Embiid later if Philly struggles — all while the Sixers gear up for a championship push with a new roster, eyes on their preseason opener against the Knicks in October.
