The NBA legend believes that the big money that the leader of Philadelphia is receiving has lost his motivation to fight for the “nut.”
Philadelphia’s star big man Joel Embiid recently announced that he has no plans to play back-to-back games for the rest of his career.
The NBA will soon launch an investigation into the missing games of the 30-year-old basketball player. And the legendary Shaquille O’Neal accused Embiid of not having the desire to play and fight for the championship title because of his huge salary.
“Why don’t you play back-to-back games that aren’t physical? He doesn’t get doubled, he doesn’t get fouled like I do. He just shoots. I don’t understand. To me, it just shows that he doesn’t shoot.” wants to win the championship,” Shaka was quoted as saying by BasketNews.
“When you earn that much money, are you really that motivated? When I didn’t earn much, I stayed motivated because there was a lot of money. If I earn 250, then in the next contract I try to get 500. I’m definitely stayed motivated. So if I have to play 82 games to win a championship, I will.”
Joel Embiid will make $301 million over the next five years of his contract in Philadelphia.
