I don’t think of Embiid as an accountability guy really. Last year he said him and harden couldn’t do it alone in reference to their losses. After the infamous Ben Simmons moment Embiid said it was what lost them the game. He definitely has a history of excuses rather than accountability in my opinion

Great stuff. Just stumbled upon this channel a few days ago, and i'm happy i did. Editing is awesome and points made are clear and cochise in every video. Always on point, never stuck to rambling besides the topic.
firstly, i want to say what a hidden gem this channel is, i love the personality in your editing. your work is elite. and secondly, do you have a home team your root for/have bias towards?
To add to your point about Doc Rivers always getting hired immediately after being fired from another team, this is a problem in many industries from tech to sports. People who have failed or questionable records as coaches, managers, CEOs, whichever keep getting hired again because we care more about experience than fresh ideas, and we definitely value experience more than we care about past failures.
I did a shoe contract video a few years ago, but It's unlisted now (it's bad.). I think it might be time for a shoe contract/endorsement deal video again. good tip
Honestly going back to the accountability talks, Embiid really is the antithesis to Giannis, not only does he blame those around him, but he actively tries to gas himself like he does in this article after ducking Jokic during a 3 game losing streak. "And then this year, I’m leading the league in scoring, I’m doing all of these things defensively … I should be making an All-Defensive team too.” Add on the dirty plays he’s done during this Knicks series and I really don’t like Embiid. 😂
@@whatslaps yeah it was from a New York Post article, “Joel Embiid on MVP Race, 'I like being the A**Hole'," March 27, 2023. Just a really disappointing attitude from a guy who is so talented. I
Not really. A lot of stuff either gets put in his mouth or things that other players say all the time (like the refs sucked) gets lumped in. Frankly, Lebron's mostly kept his mouth shut for years because he knows everything he says gets amplified and picked apart.
just found ur channel, great stuff, i know you usually make more big question big picture videos - would u ever make any prediction videos, interested to see ur takes on different current events
Make a video about what makes a good coach vs a bad coach Also I think it was JJ reddick who said doc never makes adjustments as the game goes on he’s a bad coach who won with a great team and then been disappointing in every other season he’s coached in
Bro be honest: no one is mentioning Randle because he is a playoff no show. He's who we think Harden is. Also looks like Harden is showing up just like I said ;)
Has anybody realized that the 2024 nba season is just the 2023 nfl season. Afc is west nfc is east, afc has all the superstars and is really competitive same thing as west. Cowboys are Sixers, pretty self explanatory. Bucks are the rams, they won a few years ago but this season wasn’t it. Lions = Winner of Pacers/Knicks , the team facing the powerhouse of the conference that people root for and hasn’t seen success recently. Celtics are 49ers, they will go through the east/nfc and then lose against the plot armor chiefs/nuggets. Nuggets are the chiefs. Unbeatable, plot armor. People know that they’re winning they just want to convince themselves that they will. Lamar and Josh are gonna be Edwards and Shai/Luka who will be given the task of defeating and stopping the unlikeable team from going back to back. People will hype them up but the Nuggets/Chiefs plot armor will rise. The chiefs/nuggets beat the 49ers/celtics in a final that is kind of close but you know what the result is gonna be from the beginning.
Whatslaps who do you think is gonna win this years championship? And who do you want to win the championship? I’m wondering if those 2 are the same for you.
Dame was 8/12 from 30+ feet on the 2019 series prior to that shot, so maybe it wasn't as bad as a shot. If George explained on terms of "I had two bad options and I can live with the result" I would have respected that, but he chose being salty and making dumb arguments.
Bro, posted a video early on Monday morning. It’s not gonna do super well right away. This guy creates better basketball Contant then almost 95% of the UA-camrs on here.
Embiid’s career and playoff success (or lack thereof) has had it’s fair share of excuses stuff, but yeah as time has gone on I think he has done a pretty good job of owning responsibility and that’s respectable. “Excuseless” Knicks been ballin. MJ doing what he had to do to overcome obstacles is a big part of his goat argument. That LeBron takeover was some “heart of a champion” type stuff. The hand cast thing, not a great look on the excuse-o-meter, but if it was true then 🤷♂️, I guess it could be a legit reason why he didn’t do what he maybe could have otherwise. It is funny to see that compilation of Doc giving reason after reason why no team failures are ever his fault, but yeah, I guess it’s seemed to have worked for him. Giannis has a great attitude/perspective for that to be his mentality, especially for the status that has. Hard to argue with PG about that being a bad shot, but that wasn’t the first time we’ve seen Dame hit some craziness like that so yeah could have tried to play up on him a little more and make someone else beat you. Thanks again dude, appreciate ya.
I was glad I got to do this video because it made me think about why people make excuses. I feel like a lot of times they end up being counterintuitive. In your head you think I'm alleviating people disappointment in me by saying my situation was outside my control. Really it just makes people realize you're incapable of controlling your situation. A lot of times people make excuses with sentiment of "How dare you criticize me?" People respect people who find something they could have done better and work on it. THanks for the support brother!
Lebron makes excuses all the time, him blaming the refs, or saying it’s too hot and he has cramps, etc. I would say “putting blame on others” would be exactly what an excuse is. Is it not?
I don't agree with your thoughts on PG. The shot was a bad shot, maybe the better play would be to have no comment at all, but why would you lie and say it was a great shot? Impressive, yes. Great basketball move, no.
@@whatslaps I have a mild form of CP that affects my right hand & right leg but it isn't horrible just a pain. The main thing is control one's stress or you can get a stroke at 40. Getting a specialist and vitamins help. Peace WhatSlaps
@@whatslaps On the Nets he made excuses about his roster not being good enough despite being responsible for roster construction. That's honestly worse than Embiid's injuries he has to deal with. I'm not sure why you aren't aware of this.
One player I respect a lot is curry. He didn’t go around saying “klay and kd were injured” or “we were suffering locker room issues” He just went back and won it in 2022
So it’s Joel’s fault he hasn’t experienced post-season success, but it’s not Giannis’ fault that his team had a lack-luster season this past year? I understand
@@whatslaps He's the only MVP to ever not make it past the 2nd round. KD being swept definitely hurts his legacy even if its his only 2nd time he hasn't made it past the 2nd round either since leaving Curry. Embiid had the ASSIST LEADER to help him get a fraudulent MVP (PER, VORP, ETC I DONT CARE he was not better than Jokic and we know that because Jokic actually had skill to go to the finals where Embiid struggled vs the Celtics in 7 games the only games they won were when he struggled like a baby trying to get to the FT line while Harden was heaving bombs from Narnia trying to win games mind you he successfully did. Tyrese is an amazing player and has learned well and shows Embiids Offensive/Defensive success are more individualistic rather than just because of his circumstances kind of how Beal had empty stats on the Wizards for a decade but still got paid for it. I dont care that he falls because his doctor said its a good way to land, I dont care that hes a FT merchant all I care about is the fact that he avgs 45PPG vs teams below .500 and like 22 vs teams above .500.

@@whatslapsit does get taken out of context. Right before that quote he says “I need to be better”. He criticized himself and his teammates, isn’t that what a leader does?
Embiid still has a very "woe is me" attitude. It was just hidden for awhile during his elation with winning the MVP last season.
I know. The leaking of the migraine, bells palsy stuff got on everyone's nerves

I think taking accountability while being competitive makes a player great because it shows us that bouncing back is what matters the most.

Someone needs to give Embiid a damn multi-vitamin.
some essential oils too
As a Sixers fan, I’ve always thought that embiid has been vastly overrated and isn’t even on the same echelon as Jokic in terms of value.
Interesting. what has made you think that?
Lebron has definitely shifted to an excuse maker as the years go by and he isn’t winning
Yeah, but I think it's different when you've already won a couple.
Not really. A lot of stuff either gets put in his mouth or things that other players say all the time (like the refs sucked) gets lumped in.
Frankly, Lebron's mostly kept his mouth shut for years because he knows everything he says gets amplified and picked apart.

Also I think it was JJ reddick who said doc never makes adjustments as the game goes on he’s a bad coach who won with a great team and then been disappointing in every other season he’s coached in
I did! It's called "Do coaches really matter?"
Bro be honest: no one is mentioning Randle because he is a playoff no show. He's who we think Harden is.
Also looks like Harden is showing up just like I said ;)
true, but you can't deny Randle would help them. too soon on Harden.
Harden sure showed up alright. In classic Harden fashion. 🤣 Hahahaha.
Embiid is falling apart and it's hard to watch. Even as a nuggets fan, I love watching him. But he needs like a year off tbh.
rest him all season and wait for the playoffs
