Charles Oakley Criticizes NBA Superstar for Being Emotional

Former NBA player and current head coach Charles Oakley didn’t hold back when sharing his thoughts on Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid. Oakley criticized Embiid for his behavior on the court, stating that the big man is “too big to be crying.”

Embiid, who won last season’s MVP award, has been a dominant force for the 76ers. However, a meniscus injury sidelined him for a significant portion of this season, impacting the team’s performance and seeding in the playoffs.

Despite Embiid’s impressive scoring in the postseason, his shooting percentage has been inconsistent, leading to challenges for the 76ers in their series against the New York Knicks. In Game 4, Knicks fans made their presence known at Wells Fargo Center, prompting complaints from Embiid.

Oakley’s comments come at a crucial time for Embiid and the 76ers, as they face an uphill battle in the playoffs. With the team’s championship hopes hanging in the balance, Embiid will need to elevate his game to lead the 76ers to success.

As the series continues, all eyes will be on Embiid and his performance on the court. Will he rise to the occasion and prove his critics wrong, or will the Knicks continue to dominate the series? Only time will tell.
