Imm definitely glad that he spoke on it and it was a very good interview because he was comfortable talking to JJ and the other guy.
JJ definitely protected him by not asking him about certain things like why doesn't he shoot and why didn't he mention the back injury in the beginning.
That's where I feel like he's lying. Joel and Doc gave him criticism and didn't shield him from blame so his feeling were hurt. He felt like they turned on him and then he felt like the city turned on him so he wanted to be traded.
I do believe he had an issue with his back. But in my opinion the main reason he didn't play was because he wanted to be traded, not because of his back.
The back and mental issues came about looooooong after he decided to sit out.
But I'm glad that he talked about things.
I don't understand,how he think Doc turned on him when Doc was defending him throughout the season and playoffs,especially in the playoffs. Doc was calling folks idiots every single time they brought up his free throwing and lack of shooting. It came to the point it was outright embarrassing that Doc was defending that bum but somehow,Doc turned on him.
If,he didn't want the city to turn on him;how about shooting the ball instead of passing up a layup.
Like,I told @jack walsh13 ,JJ need to stop giving some of these players easy ass questions. He has no problem going after NBA management and the media but give the players no follow up questions,allow them to dismiss it the question or give them softest questions to answer.
He can shit on players from the 50s and 60s but will kiss Ben Simmons ass just so he could return to the podcast..
I don't want to hear JJ say Doc and Embiid threw Simmons under the bus when Simmons was being a fucking bitch.
