Joel Embiid isn’t buying Celtics dynasty talk: ‘The whole East was kinda hurt’
NY Post
Joel Embiid made it clear that there is no Celtics dynasty.
And, in his mind, there won’t be one.
Embiid was a guest on “NBA Countdown” on ESPN during Game 4 of the NBA Finals in Dallas, and when the 76ers star was asked about the Celtics and whether the team — who led the series 3-0 against the Mavericks going into Friday night — has a dynasty going.
He was having none of it.
“You gotta understand the whole East was kind of hurt this year — myself included,” Embiid said after explaining that the collective bargaining agreement might also hurt Boston.
The question, on its face, was fair, as the Celtics have reached the Eastern Conference finals three seasons in a row, and they’ve made the NBA Finals this year and in 2022.
