Joel Embiid on being booed by Sixers fans: That’s cool. It’s all love. I love my city

"I’m back to doing whatever I want and saying whatever I want. That’s how I used to be, and you know, I was dominating that way"

Joel Embiid was dominant in the win against Los Angeles Clippers with 26 points and 9 rebounds.
The big man was booed by 76ers fans after his social media exchange with Jimmy Butler.

Per ESPN, “A little bit,” Embiid said when asked if he expected to be booed. “But that’s cool. Tonight I could have shushed them again, but it was all about having fun again, getting back to myself.
“Like I said after last game, I’m back to doing whatever I want and saying whatever I want. That’s how I used to be, and you know, I was dominating that way. This year I made a decision to change, and I guess it hasn’t worked out, so it comes with the good and bad.
“If it helps us win, and if it helps me help the team in a better way to win games, then I’m going to be that guy.”

“I understand where that comes from, but then again, if you dish it, you gotta be able to take it back. But at the end of the day, like I said in my location last night, it’s all love. I love my city. I been here for a long time now — we have a special relationship, and I’m happy to be here. I can’t wait for the future, especially this year. I think we can accomplish something great.”
