“Stop You Clown”: Knicks Fans Outraged At Joel Embiid After 30YO Turns Salty Over Refs Controversial Call vs Pacers
When it comes to the Playoffs, the rivalry between the New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers has remained consistent with the changing times. After having successfully passed through the first round, both franchises now once again find themselves competing during the Eastern Conference Semifinals. During the last 14 seconds of Game 1, Knicks player Donte DiVincenzo ended up hitting his rival Myles Turner while attempting to pry the ball away from the Pacers. As a result, DiVincenzo ended up getting the foul call. This final-minute incident proved advantageous for the NY team, who used it to add to their lead and secure the win by a score of 121-117.
No sooner had the foul call been made when fans on social media started erupting. Philadelphia 76ers player Joel Embiid, who had recently been eliminated by the Knicks, simply put out a “LOL”. That three-letter word turned out to be enough for people to turn their attention away from what happened on the court and focus it on Embiid. One individual straight out proceeded to call the player a “clown” for speaking out against DiVincenzo. Given the player’s reputation of behaving badly at Madison Square Garden, he is not someone who a couple of Knicks fans hold in high regard.
This is a developing story.
