The Philadelphia center came to his embattled teammate's aid before suggesting that Simmons may not be cut out to play in the City of Brotherly Love.
But after citing his own tumultuous tenure with the team that chose him first in the 2014 draft, Embiid suggested that Simmons may not be cut out for playing in Philadelphia, whose hyper-rabid fan culture and critical press corps have a way of chewing players up and spitting them out.
For clarity, I love the criticism, I love when I’m told I can’t do something. It makes me work harder to prove everyone wrong but not everyone is built like that.It's the latest in a series of instances in which Embiid has defended Simmons before publicly criticizing him. Pundits have long suggested that the duo's struggles are the result of a poor fit, a claim Embiid said was"BS" during the 2019-2020 season.
Philadelphia coach Doc Rivers also didn't come to Simmons' aid after the Game 7 loss, which Simmons reportedly cited during his trade request. "I don't know the answer to that question right now," Rivers said after Game 7 when asked whether Simmons could be the point guard for a championship team.Embiid wasn't just critical of Simmons during his rant on Twitter on Wednesday. He also called out"the media" for making up the supposed rift between himself and Simmons and told Philadelphia fans they"gotta be better.
From my own experience, y’all have no idea how much this media makes up stuff for followers and shame on you for believing them.I haven’t forgotten but 2 years ago, I got booed, people in Philly wanted me to be traded. I even shushed them. Only the real ones didn’t but I just put the work in that offseason to be better cuz I knew I wasn’t playing up to my potential.
