It was just last week when Joel Embiid decided to do something different when speaking about who the real GOAT was in the NBA.
Instead of picking the usual names that come up in Michael Jordan or LeBron James — the Philadelphia 76ers big man added a third name to the NBA’s greatest-of-all-time debate by saying Wilt Chamberlain was the G.O.A.T.
“[Jordan] is not the G.O.A.T,” Embiid said . “To me, you got Wilt Chamberlain. He’s got all the records, and no one is ever gonna beat them. I don’t see anyone ever getting 100 points in a game. That’s it, he’s the G.O.A.T.”
Well, Dennis Rodman did not like that answer.
“Joel Embiid, you’re doing a great job for your little island or country where you’re from. Shut the f— up, go do your goddamn job and do Philly proud,” Rodman said when caught by TMZ at the LAX on Sunday. “That’s the one thing they need, is a championship.”
Rodman, of course, played with the great one in the 1990s and won three championships with the Bulls.
