Giannis Antetokounmpo is truly unguardable offensively whilst maintaining the DPOY-level defense that I had previously thought was behind him. I’d be calling him MVP if it wasn’t so early in the season.
@@jolli4116 how???? Yall say he benifits off of this era but he had his best seasons in the 2000's. He has 4 mvps and he got robbed from a dopy(2013) and robbed off an mvp (2018)
People like you talking sh*t, answer this, who was the veteran leader early in Embiids career to teach him how to be a leader. Not all leaders are born leaders. This is what happens when a star player is brought up in an organization that prioritizes losing like the 76ers during the process years. Bad habits are formed. Embiid had absolutely nobody to learn from
People were trashing Kawhi as the worst superstar, but at least the dude solidified a legacy with actual wins lol. Joel is the most fraudulent MVP and superstar.
@@TYLOTYLOTYLO that Nuggets team was literally 2011-12 Bobcats without Jokic. Jokic deserved it. Embiid would deserve it last year if of course, he didn't got hurt.
@@TYLOTYLOTYLOJokic broke the record for PER and BPM while Murray and MPJ missed the season. Besides, Giannis was easily better than Embiid that year anyway
Man, what he did to Zack was crazy, the fact they didn’t throw him out immediately is nuts. You gonna grab a 7 foot five guys ankle, and make him fall in the ground? I can’t wait till somebody just puts their whole weight on Draymond‘s leg.
The most spineless commissioner in sports history. I also think many of the newer owners are wokity woke clowns, so they pander to the star players more.
I never understand this logic. Philly was a poverty franchise before the Embiid era💀 with the most success being in 2001??!! Which was the peak of the AI era. Yes Embiid has made them relevant. Is he some super hero for Philly? No but people acting like he’s done nothing will never make sense.
@@billbill6576People tired of Jokic's success were beating their chests about Embiid outplaying Jokic in Philly. But ignored how Embiid has sat out Denver games for the past few seasons.
TS% is one of the sillier "advanced metrics". Just another woo-woo equation, really - as if a spit-balled ".44" constant to apparently "offset free-throw vs FG value" is verifiable by anything.
Personality means a lot for a fan's perception of a player. As a Knicks fan, Maxey is awesome and a likeable guy. Some of my other favorites are Fox, Edwards, and Mitchell because they're charismatic and care about playing the game. Guys like that are loved beyond their fanbase.
Embiid is the worst superstar in NBA history. He constantly underperforms in the playoffs. He’s never available when you need him and he doesn’t love the game. Now people who call Kawhi Leonard the worst superstar has some truth to it since he joined the Clippers but at least he won championships.
Kawhi has never been the worst superstar, before his injuries he was incredibly consistent and one of the best playoff performers out of any superstar ever including people like Wilt or Tmac
Kawhi's lack of availability is annoying but he has 2 rings and was MVP in both of those finals. His career accomplishments are much more impressive than Embiid's.
LeFRAUD is the most overrated and mentally weakest amongst all the superstars ever. A crybaby who couldn’t be stopped not unless given what he wanted. Embiid just trying to emulate Lefraud.
Embiid is undoubtedly the biggest fraud in NBA history. Cried his way to an absolutely undeserving MVP with the help of clowns like Stephen A, Perk and the ESPN propaganda. Joker got robbed big time and everyone knows that. He's nowhere near in the same breath as the serbian monster himself. Mofo never even sniffed the conference finale and sits out whenever he feels like it. I would feel so betrayed as a fan who paid for this bullshiiii.... Trade his bum azz and build around their true leader Tyrese Maxey. PG another playoff choker unfortunately and he used to be one of my favorite hoppers but not anymore. Philly fans i actually do kinda feel sorry for y'all lol.
Getting to a Game 7 against the team that won it that year in 2019 would be pretty close to “sniffing it”, but I get your point. Just cause he’s had close series and multiple Game 7’s against good-great teams, it doesn’t mean he ever actually gets past it
Even Barkley has gotten the memo on TNT for years now to not criticize LeBron directly. He really hasn't said anything harsh about Bron directly since 2017ish when he gave harsh criticism to LeBron about wanting all the best players, despite his Cavs being the most highest paid roster that season.
@@QuestionEverything562 that's cap, when did he go off on the nba media and said he was sick and tired of Lebron and the Lakers always being showcased and called them cowards? 1 year or 2 years ago atmost.
@WingCoe But he never said that directly to LeBron. He never layed a personal criticism on him. Barkley never called the Lakers cowards. He called TNT and the NBA cowards for having Lakers games. He called the Lakers old and done. If he called Bron or AD cowards directly, that would have been a massive story. You are twisting the truth there.
@@QuestionEverything562 LOL, he ditectly said Lebron needed the best players around him, he doesn't need to tell him directly he said alot of personal and basketball wise criticism of Lebron, you're just telling the world you're ignorant of it.
"I might just have the same title to get that sweet algorithm goodnees" honesty with finesse *chef's kiss* love it. Great vids. Keep doing you brotha 🤙
All of the violations that are pointed out in this video are the same ones long-time NBA fans always call out and end up being called haters or it's a gather step(no such thing) by young NBA fans then the NBA turn around and says they missed the call; meaning it's the young NBA fans who are ruining the NBA starting on neighborhood courts
Awesome recap, Jonny! I'm not always able to keep up with the NBA due to busyness (it's off and on), so your recaps are helpful. I appreciate how you're able to cover so much information and are concise too. Your videos balance breadth and depth. I'm not surprised that Draymond didn't get suspended for tripping Edey. He's gotten off light each time (and I consider the 12 game suspension last year for hitting Nurkic to not be long enough). Like you, I'm not happy with the refs or how useless the day after reports are. It is very frustrating. lol if you make a video about Embiid, I'd be interested in watching. I don't know why Philly's stars are doing so poorly, but yeah, Embiid needs to step up to say the least. I think it's understandable that he's upset that there was a leak, but he needs to follow up by stepping up. I like your comparison of Giannis' efforts to Kobe's 2012 season. I too have the same concerns about injuries. As you indicated, this can take a huge toll on his body. I hope the best for him and hope he stays healthy. I like how you include the team records at the end as well as the MVP power rankings. They're super helpful. Great video again! I hope you have a great Thanksgiving week! :)
I don't see how people are rejoicing Inside The NBA's return when it's now going to be on very sparsely. Felt like a full-time return would've been a real reason to celebrate.
Getting to keep Inside the NBA around is the best thing to happen to the league all week. As someone who used to like Embiid, he's disappointing me and needs to get his shit together, I won't be surprised if he jumps ship and runs to a contender for an easy shot at a ring which would be a Bi**h move on his part.
@@markjackson6431 lol true toxic Philly athletes history here. Philly is a pos city, they deserve the worse divas. Don't forget Barkley, he ate and bitched his way out of Philly.
I wanna know your thought on Dikembe Mutombo and Dominique Wilkins on being a duo they never played together but I think they would be an amazing duo both in their prime
It's kind of amazing that the Denver Nuggets are sitting in 5th place after Joker missed three straight games and Aaron Gordon has been out for 75% of them. Their bench is wack but that starting team is one of the best starting 5 in the NBA. The problem is they can't play every minute of every game.
Embiid, the absolute ambassador of the cupcake era. The players talent is not the problem, it's their behaviour. When you have watched MJ playing ill, Isiah playing with one foot snd giving the Lakers the business, when you have watched Kobe winning a ring with a broken finger and Zo coming back from kidney transplant, you just cannot stand this generation. Soft as a toilet paper.
1.Lakers wetting the bed… 2.NBA tv still playing games from 1999 vs playing any of the 12 plus games on at the same time… 3.Finally some discussion around dropping the conferences…. 4.The ratings aren’t really down just hard to gauge because of the messy tv and regional contracts… 5.pray for popavich🫡
Another notable thing that happened last week: The Spurs getting Three Straight Wins and the fact that Stephon Castle is not getting any ROTY Considerations.
Love the vogue travel non-calls for outside shots. Didn't know you were so Lakers fan or maybe I just forgot like LeBum. Anyway, your vid title up next should be, "Why has superstar Joel Embid been so bad?" - There's you 100K week ahead.
I think claiming he is the worst superstar of all time is harsh. He has dealt with numerous injuries, player and coaching problems and even the gm has made bad moves. Embiid is an all time level scorer, an mvp and a future hall of famer.
Reminds me of the quote "You're not sorry for doing it, you're sorry for getting caught" on being exposed for arriving late to team meetings. Keep picking your butt buddy.
Nba wasted an MVP on this Embiid when it rightfully belong to Jokic preventing him from making another historic record of winning MVP 3 times in a row. 🤦♂️
Mitchell has the deepest offensive bag in the entire NBA. He'll get them to the playoffs. Garland will be the hang up on that team. Can't have that type of inconsistent play on a championship caliber team.
I don't think most of the past superstars would've been able to handle the constant scrutiny of social media if it was around back when they played. I don't even like Embiid and it's getting ridiculous how loud and profitable the hate mongering on him is getting.
Im done with Draymond, every foul or action that even smells like dangerous play to injure someone, he should get 20 game suspension and if it happens again after suspend for the season.
I saw Bill Simmons break down of the negotiations with NBC buying NBA broadcast rights and he shed some light on Inside The NBA. Shaq doesn't have a contract. Kenny and Charles have an opt out clause for this scenario. ESPN is only looking to do the show on a limited basis. It remains to be seen if ESPN will be micro managing them or letting the show run free and loose like it always has (Which is why the show has been so successful). We could see "Inside The NBA" with an entirely different cast or maybe just Ernie. Given how ESPN doesn't let anything run free and loose, and has been pushing out long time hosts on their network for, reasons.... It's going to be very iffy if we still see Inside The NBA like we're used to seeing it.
I'd like to see the lakers beat teams with records that don't boarder around 500... They look good vs bad or mid teams... but all they loses came with they played better teams or those mid teams more than once.
On a real note, I have disliked Embiid for a really long time even before he beat Jokic for the mvp which he did not deserve. I debated even creating my own basketball channel specifically to make a video about how much I couldn’t stand the guy and how lazy and disrespectful he is to the game. I was definitely looking forward to an educated Jonny video deeply dissecting these claims of why he’s considered so bad. I can appreciate the honesty of the clickbait title but that’s a video I genuinely would like to see because I think what he’s doing is pathetic and overplayed.
Kawhi Leonard is the worst "superstar" in the history of the NBA, but Embiid is definitely in the top 5. I still die laughing, when rewatching the NBA predictions, before the season began, with everybody, especially the absolutely clueless Shannon Sharpe, saying the 76ers were the biggest threat to Boston in the East. Maybe they all meant, the 76ers were the biggest threat to become the 8th seed and play the Celtics in round 1.
Yeah Jonny, I still saw the video, but seeing the title, I already agree with everything 😂😂last few videos I had some things to say about your opinions, topics which is very strange because I learned a lot from you about basketball and almost always agree with takes that you make and this video is another exaple of that altough I still haven't watched it yet😂
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. This is truly a spicy take even for the basketball savvy, Johnny Arnett. Come on Johnny there must’ve been a time when Joel Embiid was good right?
Embiid was great for stretches of Playoff basketball over the years, and a couple stretches of games throughout the Regular Season, especially when he was pushing it in 2024. But, he has many problems. Many things he gets dog piled on that shouldn’t be, and many things that deserve criticism
Guaranteed contracts are what's wrong with the NBA but why should the NBA even care when their new national 76 billion dollar contract starts next year?
My goodness with the "MY LA Lakers.." like why tf is EVERY NBA content creator a Laker fan is exactly why it seem like the ALGORITHM forces Laker news on fans 😒🤣🤦🏿♂️
What caught your attention in this past week of the NBA?
My and your Lakers being the 4th seed in a LOADED conference.
Dearron fox
Giannis Antetokounmpo is truly unguardable offensively whilst maintaining the DPOY-level defense that I had previously thought was behind him. I’d be calling him MVP if it wasn’t so early in the season.
@@TomtainiusI would agree with you if Jokic wasn't avarging

Embiid will be known for his crybaby MVP and his signature move: the 2nd round exit.
Haha. Now his signature is the play-in tournament.
LeFRAUD is the original crybaby and the goat at that.
@@jolli4116 how???? Yall say he benifits off of this era but he had his best seasons in the 2000's. He has 4 mvps and he got robbed from a dopy(2013) and robbed off an mvp (2018)
He's lost twice in the first round too
The most embarrassing MVP in history Embiid the 🦆
The fact that he got mad at someone leaking info more than getting mad at himself for being a bad leader says it all
It can be a bad thing, but at the same time, he needs to step up if he wants to win
Mad at someone leakin info? Normal

I can appreciate the honesty of the clickbait title but that’s a video I genuinely would like to see because I think what he’s doing is pathetic and overplayed.
I think it is good that referee mistakes are talked about. It is the only way referees will ever be held accountable and become better.
Draymond Green is playing for his life at this point. Within five years of his retirement he'll either be in prison or dead.
lol you exaggerating hard asf. He will be fine you act like he’s king Von 😭😭 If Ron Artest can avoid death and jail after nba so can Draymond
@@youngnas15 I got five years past his retirement date before you can talk about exaggeration...
@@VinceLyle2161??? Dude that's actually crazy😭😭😭 What did bro do to you?
The 2 minute report is kinda useless, it probably makes players mad that the refs miss the calls
I look forward to your thoughts on the Nuggets win over your Lakers.
Kawhi Leonard is the worst "superstar" in the history of the NBA, but Embiid is definitely in the top 5. I still die laughing, when rewatching the NBA predictions, before the season began, with everybody, especially the absolutely clueless Shannon Sharpe, saying the 76ers were the biggest threat to Boston in the East. Maybe they all meant, the 76ers were the biggest threat to become the 8th seed and play the Celtics in round 1.
I think Embiid is the worst because t least Kawhi Leonard has two rings and was the MVP of each of those Finals series.
Why would you give referees trouble for not calling travels? It's pretty obvious that 10-15 steps are legal in the NBA
Yeah Jonny, I still saw the video, but seeing the title, I already agree with everything 😂😂last few videos I had some things to say about your opinions, topics which is very strange because I learned a lot from you about basketball and almost always agree with takes that you make and this video is another exaple of that altough I still haven't watched it yet😂
I hate that it was the Boston Celtics that ended the Cavs winning streak.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. This is truly a spicy take even for the basketball savvy, Johnny Arnett.
Come on Johnny there must’ve been a time when Joel Embiid was good right?
Embiid was great for stretches of Playoff basketball over the years, and a couple stretches of games throughout the Regular Season, especially when he was pushing it in 2024. But, he has many problems. Many things he gets dog piled on that shouldn’t be, and many things that deserve criticism
Guaranteed contracts are what's wrong with the NBA but why should the NBA even care when their new national 76 billion dollar contract starts next year?
"Statically inflated era"😂😂. Another understatement Jonny 120 to 111. Ridiculous.
If your team is 3-12 after several years in the league, you may just not be a superstar
My goodness with the "MY LA Lakers.." like why tf is EVERY NBA content creator a Laker fan is exactly why it seem like the ALGORITHM forces Laker news on fans 😒🤣🤦🏿♂️
