eShaq is being very outspoken about recent statement of Joel Embiid that he will not participate in consecutive games for the remainder of his career. Shaq expressed his criticism bluntly on his podcast, labeling Embiid as a “S-O-F capital T” due to what he perceives as a lack of competitive spirit. This comes after the NBA looked into the Philadelphia 76ers for putting Embiid on the injured list, leading to him missing the first three games of the season.

Shaq views Embiid’s statement as addressing a wider worry regarding motivation. H thought about his own motivation to compete, even when he wasn’t making the most money at the beginning of his career. He thinks that Embiid’s mentality may be missing the level of drive that distinguishes the excellent from the exceptional. “Is your motivation truly high when you are earning such a significant amount of money?” Shaq raised doubts. Highlighting the importance of completing a full season in order to secure championships.

Shaq desires for Embiid to take his critique as a personal matter. He asserts that regularly competing at night helps develop a strong mindset. A trait Shaq thinks Embiid must have to achieve his maximum potential. Embiid, the current MVP, has solidified his place in the league. But Shaq believes his recent comments show a lack of ambition to achieve more.

Embiid is scheduled to make a comeback in the game against the Detroit Pistons. But Shaq’s remarks have intensified the discussion about his dedication.
