As far as the Sixers organization goes, I feel Kawhi’s shot was ultimate karma for all the blatant tanking.
But none of that was the players fault. I feel bad for them, especially for Joel Embiid. I wasn’t much of a fan of Embiid until recently. I saw a couple interviews and background features where I understand and respect where he’s coming from.
He may get knocked and mocked on social media for crying after this loss, but I respect him even more now. The kid really cares, unlike many. He takes it super seriously and I absolutely love players like that. I’m a converted fan.
Also, major props to Kawhi, who I’m already on record as endorsing as the best 2 way player in the game. That was as clutch a shot as you’ll see, especially at the end of a game 7. Wow!
