Joel Embiid Is Apparently 300 Pounds And Doesnt Give A Fuck
Philly - The Philadelphia 76ers‘ rebuilding plan is centered around big man Joel Embiid and his incredible potential to be a franchise-changing center in the NBA. Despite a fracture in his back and a foot fracture, Embiid was taken third in the 2014 draft by general manager Sam Hinkie because if he’s healthy, he’s the best prospect in the draft. The first year of Embiid’s rookie contract though is going to be him rehabbing his broken foot and waiting to get back ont he court. According to Keith Pompey of Philly.com, this rehab isn’t going that well in terms of Embiid’s weight. Embiid weighed about 245 pounds as a draft prospect and is reportedly pushing 300 pounds at the moment after some conditioning issues. He’s supposedly had a blowup with assistant strength and conditioning coach James Davis and missed some conditioning drills in his road to recovery.
Embiid has a weight issue. Although the Sixers wouldn’t disclose his weight, a source said he’s close to 300 pounds after being 250 pounds at Kansas last season.
His work ethic is being questioned by some inside the organization.
The Sixers are trying to address the added weight. Embiid, however, hasn’t always been a willing workout participant, according to sources. He’s even blown off conditioning drills, one source added.
An altercation with Davis during the West Coast trip, coupled with Brown’s wanting him to be in “more of a structured, stable environment,” pushed the Sixers to send him home, the sources said.
Love this kid. Fucking love him. Dude has spent the last couple years of his life twitter fucking Rihanna and Kim Kardashian and getting fat. If you hate on that you got a big dump in your pants. Its the Mailtime Mantra to the absolute maximum. You think this kid really gives a fuck about basketball and conditioning and competing for an NBA title and shit? Dude was in fucking AFRICA like 20 minutes ago probably living in a fucking hut before Kevin Bacon plucked him out of there. Now hes got $9 million guaranteed. Do you know how much fucking money that is for a kid from Africa? That might as well be like a hundred zillion bajillion dollars. Guy doesnt give a fuck about the Philadelphia 76ers. He’s just living the American Dream right now – getting rich and fat for basically no reason. If someone handed me 10 million dollars tomorrow I’d probably put on 55 pounds and suck at my job too and I’m a white spoiled American. A 20 year old kid from Cameroon is most certainly is gonna do that. The poor guy’s brother just died back in Africa. He’s probably just happy to be alive. Of course he’s just gonna get fat and dick around on Twitter all day. Kid’s earned it.
PS – He doesnt even look that fat to me. Dude is 7 feet tall. 300 pounds aint that bad. Do no carbs for like two weeks and you’re right back on the saddle.
