Daily News | Charles Barkley, Shaq believe Joel Embiid should’ve been ejected from Sixers-Nets Game 3
Never known to mince words, Hall of Famers Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal weighed in on Sixers star Joel Embiid’s Flagrant 1 foul against Brooklyn Nets center Nic Claxton during halftime of Game 3.
To provide context, Claxton dunked on Embiid early in the game and both players tumbled to the ground. When Claxton got to his feet, he stood over Embiid, who reacted by kicking up and bringing Claxton back to the ground.. Green, whose foot was grabbed by Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis, reacted by stepping on his opponents chest.Barkley took that a step further, proclaiming that he believed Embiid should’ve been given a Flagrant 2 and that his reaction “was worse than Draymond’s.
“You know what he was trying to do,” Barkley said. “We all have our own opinions — I thought he tried to kick him in his private parts. He should’ve got ejected. That’s just my personal opinion.”Published
