Joel Embiid Immediately Threw Shade At Celtics During ESPN Finals Pregame Appearance

Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid isn’t known for mincing words, and his appearance on ESPN’s NBA Countdown before Game 4 of the Finals was no exception.

While Embiid acknowledged the Celtics’ talent, he still fired shots nonetheless, saying he hates Boston.

“I can’t stand them. I can’t stand them. I hate Boston. Great city, great fans, they’ve got some great players, but it hurts me a lot.”
