Charles Oakley once believed Joel Embiid could be an all-time great. But the whining and losing has changed his mind. “Everybody says he’s hurt,” Oakley said Tuesday on SiriusXM NBA Radio’s “The Starting Lineup” show. “If you’re hurt, stay home and watch it on TV like everybody else is doing. I don’t want hear this, ‘I’m giving it my all.’ You’re a seven-footer shooting 3s. I mean, you stand out around the 3-point line what the guards gonna do? So I think that, you know, they cry too much. All these guys in the league cry too much. He’s too big to be crying. I’m sorry I said about two years ago, he could be the next Wilt Chamberlain. I don’t know. He could be the next Dunkin Donut or somebody because he just cry.” -via New York Post / April 30, 2024
