Joel Embiid opened eyes on Monday when he told Maverick Carter that he wants to win a title over anything, saying in the interview, “I don’t know where that’s going to be, whether it’s in Philly or anywhere else.”
Joe Benigno knows where he doesn’t want that to be, and that’s in New York.
“I absolutely don’t,” Joe said when Evan asked if he would want the reigning MVP on the Knicks. “They will win nothing with him.
“He’ll never win anything. The only way he’ll win is if he hooks up with Giannis or the Warriors.”
Evan believes many Knicks fans would disagree, and that Embiid could be the superstar splash Leon Rose has been waiting for, but he also doesn’t see Embiid winning anything.
“I think most Knick fans would give up the moon and the sun for Joel Embiid, but I don’t think you win a damn thing,” Evan said. “Joel Embiid has missed at least a playoff game in every year of his career but one…and this is supposedly the prime of his career. Now you get closer to 30, what do you think is gonna happen? He’s gonna break down.
“Ultimately, it would end in colossal failure.”
