San Francisco: So, after the Warriors totally crushed the 76ers, Draymond Green had some words for Joel Embiid. You know, the guy’s been getting a lot of heat lately. Draymond, being the veteran he is, knows how tough it can be when everyone seems to be against you.
He told NBC Sports Bay Area that he advised Embiid to just hang in there. Draymond gets it; he’s faced his own share of criticism. He said, “I told him to stick with it.” It’s like, when you’re in the spotlight, it can feel like the whole world is judging you for just trying to do your best.
Embiid’s been under fire for missing games due to a knee issue, and it’s been rough for him. Draymond pointed out that all Embiid wants is to play and be great, but it seems like people are just waiting to pounce on him for any little thing.
Draymond’s advice? “Listen to your body, but just keep going.” He really emphasized that people who criticize don’t know what it takes to be great. It’s like, they’re not in your shoes, so why let them get to you?
And this isn’t the first time Draymond’s stepped up to support a fellow player. He often checks in on younger guys and offers them encouragement. He gets that life in the NBA isn’t as easy as it looks from the outside.
“It’s a tough life that we live,” he said. He’s all about making sure players know they’re not alone in this. It’s nice to see someone like Draymond looking out for others, especially when the pressure is on.
In the end, it’s solid advice from Green, and who knows? Maybe it’ll help Embiid push through the tough times.
