Joel Embiid Once Showed Up Late To Practice, But Scored 50 Points The Same Night

On today's Pardon My Take... PATRICK BEVERLEY! The professional basketball player and Barstool Sports employee joined Mr. Cat and Mr. Commenter in-studio to talk ball, playing in Israel, what it was like to play with Giannis, the end of last season, and tons more.

During Pat Bev's run in the NBA, he made stops with seven (7) teams. One of them was the Philadelphia 76ers, which took place from 2023 until early 2024. And with that squad currently making a ton of headlines for their brutal start to the season, the fellas picked Pat Bev's brain about his time in Philly. 

Can off-the-court issues be a reason that a team is struggling? Absolutely. But interestingly enough, Pat Bev told the story on today's show about the time when his former teammate, Joel Embiid, was late to a practice. The remarkable part about this? He managed to still score 50 points that night. Take a look at this clip...

Winning solves everything. It really does. If someone is causing a disruption off the court, it doesn't really matter, as long as you continue to stack up W's. But when things are going wrong outside the lines AND you're losing? Oh boy. Buckle up, Philadelphia.
