Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid has been under the microscope many times on Inside the NBA, whether it’s getting advice from Charles Barkley or getting crushed by Shaquille O’Neal.
On Thursday night, Barkley called the Sixers “the Cleveland Browns of the NBA” and O’Neal savagely mocked Embiid for being “s-o-f-t” while playing highlights of Giannis Antetokounmpo breaking him down.
Embiid finished an abysmal 6-for-26, including 3-for-10 from distance, in the 112-101 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Last week, he shot 1-for-11 from the field against the Boston Celtics, and the Sixers are now sixth in the East, a full 13.5 games behind the Bucks.
To be fair, it’s not all on the banged-up Embiid, but his latest performances aren’t helping.
