Tiger Punch September 01, 2019 76ers center Joel Embiid tweeted back-to-back tweets today to express his feelings.
"I haven't forgotten yet, but two years ago, I was booed and someone in Philadelphia wanted me to be traded. I even made gestures to quiet them down. Only the real fans didn't boo me, but I just put in training that offseason to improve myself because I knew I wasn't playing to my full potential. Philadelphia fans, you also need to do better.
"To be clear, I like criticism, I like to be told I can't do something. That made me put in more effort to prove that everyone's perception was wrong, but not everyone was. Embiid wrote.
