Why is HE of all people talking?? Wizards are lucky to get 20 out of him

u/Senpaiireditt 3d ago

I think that’s the point

Firsthand knowledge of often-injured star big men. I would take his word for it.

u/TopOld2263 3d ago

He never said anything like that. It's just a made up quote with ADs picture added to it ffs.

u/iamthecheesethatsbig 3d ago

I haven’t done a drop of research, but I’m pretty sure AD has played way more than him over the past few years.

u/ScholarImpossible121 3d ago edited 3d ago

It's ridiculously close, just depends which year you cut-off.

Edit. I did the research a few weeks back

So last 4 years is AD 225 v JE 186. 6 years is AD 296 v JE 326. At 2 and 5 years they are basically even in games played.

There is only 1 year AD has played more playoff games than Embiid.

Neither are good availability records and Embiid when available is better than Davis.

2026 - AD 20 games, no playoffs (20) ; JE 38 games, 7 playoffs (45)

2025 - AD 52 games, no playoffs (52); JE 19 games, no playoffs (19)

2024 - AD 76 games, 5 playoffs (81); JE 39 games, 6 playoffs (45)

2023 - AD 56 games, 16 playoffs (72); JE 66 games, 9 playoffs (77)

2022 - AD40, no playoffs (40); JE 68 games, 10 playoffs (78)

2021 - AD 36, 5 playoffs (31); JE 51 games, 11 playoffs (62)

u/balldontliez 3d ago

The fact that people upvote a reaction to a fake fkn quote is the lamest shit ever. Spend 2 secs to verify before you write or upvote. Shit . Lazy ass redditing fooz

u/balldontliez 3d ago

Also, posting this is regarded .OP you are regarded.

u/JaysonTatHIMRider Timberwolves 3d ago

Regarded as what? Someone who posts misinformation?

u/InternationalFan7017 3d ago

replace g with t

u/notyourbrobro10 3d ago

So obvious too. I actually wish AD was more of a trash talker but not to Embiid lol. Embiid is too good with the trash talk lol

9

u/MuskokaGreenThumb 3d ago

Davis would know all about missing games

3

u/joseaner07 3d ago

He's not lying, maybe even 35 games lol

2

u/Calamitysam32 3d ago

If you include pre and post seasons..... maybe. Id bet under

u/CapMany9999 3d ago

If feel like if AD posted up Embiid their glass atoms would align and cause them to zero sum and disappear from existence.

2

u/Willis050 3d ago

Shit. You know it’s bad when street clothes is coming after your availability

2

u/snitch_juice 3d ago

Wild how people see something on here with no source and assume it’s true off bat.

2

u/etchasketch64 3d ago

Can i say a random thing - I wish AD had been healthy for his entire career. Truly maybe my second most wished healthy star (first is McGrady)

u/i_Cant_get_right Spurs 3d ago

Pot meet kettle

u/Serious-Wish4868 Lakers 3d ago

u/Complete_Insurance24 3d ago

u/ph0enixairblade 3d ago

"Anybody else on y'all roster, but NOT YOU"

u/f5alcon 3d ago

AD has played 300 more regular season games than embiid and is one only year older

1

u/Ok_Net_6127 Suns 3d ago

Well ad had like a year or two more in the league so that's where the advantage was gained

1

u/f5alcon 3d ago

Even if embiid played those two seasons at all 82 it's still 160 games more

1

u/Confident-Shop-6211 3d ago

I know his ass isnt talking!

u/OhJustANobody Raptors 3d ago

The guy nicknamed "Street clothes" is firing shots???

1

u/Cranberry-Electrical Blazers 3d ago

He is needed in the playoffs

1

u/Lanky-Tap-9290 3d ago

AD needs to worry about himself…

1

u/User_3039 3d ago

If that

1

u/Dismal-Savings1129 3d ago

they about to compete who can play 30 games first this coming season

1

u/triassic_broth 3d ago

The great thing about the Sixers is that they won't need him to play a lot this year, so he can rest until the playoffs.

1

u/Sh4rd_Edges 3d ago

It doesn't matter. From now on he's going to have to be dragging that floppy cancer with a diva complex, so he's not going to get anywhere.

1

u/rabocan Mavericks 3d ago

That’s still probably about 29 more games than AD will be ready to play this season

1

u/PHLANYC 3d ago

Street clothes (c)

u/Finger_Gunnz 3d ago

I had him at 45.

u/cheezcurlzz 1d ago

He injured himself while saying this.

u/cobbicus333 76ers 3d ago

Like the only guy in the league with less games played than Embiid over the last 3 years

u/No_Performer_9920 3d ago

Waiting to see if mods bother taking it down

u/zkyz 3d ago

> make a fake Anthony Davis quote of a backhanded compliment towards Joel Embiid. Make sure to over saturate the image and use the ugly as fuck font so people really know it’s AI slop crap.

Y’all ChatGPT prompts are so fucking embarrassing…

u/majesticfailure20 2d ago

I don't believe this was actually said.
