Yeah, I gathered myself quickly and did the, oh, you know, wave. Thank you, guys, for not hitting me. And then after I got on the sidewalk, that's when I really started to realize, oh, my God, I'm a tomato can.

Well, I'm here working, so. Well, thank you for your service. I feel like I'm adding to the show. I did the whole bloody joke with Don and Nietzsche.

Ouch.

Ouch.

I am forever in the side of if someone's hurt, they're hurt, right? If someone's injured, they're injured. I'm not going to get mad at Grant Hill for not having the career I thought he should have had because he got hurt or Penny Hardaway or Brandon Roy or now Joel Embiid. Now, there are times where it's like you are making decisions in your life that are – linked to why you're hurt.

For example, Zion Williamson and his weight. We'll take people like that to task more, but Joel Embiid, this is his third facial injury. He's had orbital bone surgery twice, and now this is a sinus fracture. That's not his fault. He's getting hit in the face. It's just bad luck. Now, to what Stephen A. was saying about the Olympics, this is the interesting thing.

So Embiid gets hurt last year, and by all accounts, he should have just stayed hurt. but he was rushing to come back. And everyone was saying, why is he rushing to come back for a playoff run that's not gonna go anywhere? Because the real goal was to come back for the Olympics.

He wanted to play in the Olympics, win a gold medal, because that's a great resume builder for someone who wants to be a Hall of Famer one day, right? But he understood, if I come back for the Olympics, but not for the playoffs, Philadelphia will turn on me.

So I need to come back to show, hey guys, I tried, I gave it my all, which he did, but obviously, that did not help the situation, because he probably came back too early, and we saw with the Bell's palsy and all the other stuff, right? So then he goes to the Olympics, He did not look like himself. He had a couple of good games. He had a lot of stinkers because, again, not 100%.

So now he's come back from the Olympics. He should have been resting this whole time. He's not ready for the start of the season. And this is the part where I think the Sixers failed. Because rather than be up front and say, all right, came back from the Olympics. This dude is not right. We're going to shut him down and try and get him ready by Christmas or whatever.

They said everything's fine until day one of camp. And he's like, oh, yeah, he's out. And that's what kind of turned the ire of everybody. Okay, this guy's picking and choosing when he wants to play and when he doesn't.

So it's I'm sorry, John. No, no, you go. It's just because. Why was Joel Embiid hurt last year? Do we know why? Do you remember why? What happened? At the end, he's got the Bell's palsy. I'm not talking about the Bell's palsy. I'm talking about the injury that he recovered quickly to get back to give us Bell's palsy later. Was it the meniscus? It was the meniscus. Do you remember what happened?
