Joel Embiid Grilled Over Great Clips Of FIBA ​​Refs Ignoring His Bad Action

Joel Embiid, like many NBA stars, is used to receiving favorable whistles. Embiid is very fond of doing this by exaggerating even the slightest contact.

And while NBA referees often reward such shenanigans, FIBA ​​referees never will.

This has come back to bite Embiid multiple times during Team USA’s Olympic warm-ups.

As the big man’s failed bad speech is a hot topic on social media, here are some great reactions from Twitter/X:

Joel Embiid trying to bait FIBA ​​is a bad job. I wish the NBA was run this way, so guys weren’t punished so easily for trying to fool the refs.
