The 76ers’ Joel Embiid has one Hall of Fame big man befuddled by how often he’s hitting the hardwood.
Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce spoke candidly about Embiid during the latest episode of the “KG: Certified” podcast. Garnett wondered aloud to his longtime Boston Celtics teammate whether Embiid was falling way too often for a man of his size.
“How many falls do you think he averages in a game, seven?” Garnett asked Pierce. “How many? Real s—, is he falling every other trip up? … That [expletive] falls about thirty times a game, bro. He fell one time, three times in one play. I think that’s part of his game. … Embiid leads the league in falling on the floor.”
