Where Joel Embiid should donate his fine money (Satire)
After saying some controversial statements about LaVar Ball, Joel Embiid must pay a fine. Here are a few charities the Philadelphia 76ers center can donate to.
When I first heard that Joel Embiid had been fined $10,000 for saying ‘bleep LaVar Ball,’ I thought it was a joke. After begging Rihanna to go out with him and tweeting other gems, I assumed that it was only a joke fine. However, like the Knicks’ chances of doing something dumb in the offseason (Hello, Tim Hardaway Jr.), this is very real.
Philadelphia 76ers
Recently, The Process has contacted me and asked me about what charities should he donate to because the NBA donates fine money to many good charities. He also asked me if there are any other people he should say bleep (Insert person name) to. Today we are going to look at both and help out the Philadelphia 76ers‘ star.
Charity #1: The New York Knicks
Let’s start off with the easy top choice, the New York Knicks. This is a franchise that has not won the NBA finals since the US was still involved in South Vietnam.
The Knicks obviously need all the help they can get. Their owner gives his band CDs to free agents and tells longtime fans to go to the Nets when they criticize him. They just signed Tim Hardaway Jr to a four year, $72 million dollar deal when the role player’s value was estimated to be around $40 million. Their stars have wanted out since the minute they stepped foot in the garden.
This is a team that is run worse than Enron. It amazes me how they can make a profit or have made the playoffs in the last 10 years.
Although the Knicks are in New York and in the Atlantic, they still need our help. Millions of Knick fans lack bricks to throw at their TV when they see their owner doing stuff like this.
Or when their teams trade first round picks for players whose Knicks highlights are getting embarrassed in many different ways.
And this.
This is a franchise whose fans needs all the love and support they can have. Help them, Joel.
Charity #2: Kevin Love
Kevin feels very lonely at times, especially when the Cavs struggled to find an offseason trade partner that wanted him. Everyone’s always saying how Kevin can’t defend in the post, that he can’t be the best player on a contender, and that he can’t play crunch time.
If Embiid were to donate the $10,000 to this organization, Kevin Love could find someone who for a few hours a week can find someone who can play XBox, eat pizza, and help him with his homework. The former UCLA star needs a good friend and Embiid can show him what it means to Trust the Friendship with a donation here.
Charity #3: The make a 30 for 30 about the Josh Smith eating breakfast video from 2009
I have no explanation, but on weekend nights around 2 AM, I will always watch this video if I’m up. I have no idea why.
I don’t know why it’s the first favorited video in my favorites, but I always watch it. It’s just such a weird video for the NBA to put up and I hope they make a documentary out of it. Maybe go into detail how switching to Turkey Bacon hurt Smith in Detroit. Maybe talk about how switching to wheat toast before Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals against the Clippers gave Smith the ability to shoot 3’s.

I just want it to happen. I’d go broke watching it, so make it Joel. Or actually, don’t — I can’t go broke.
Charity #4: Let’s film everything the Sacramento Kings do for a month and make it into a documentary.
From the organization that brought you this.
And tried to bring back Vanilla Ice.
Comes a new documentary on what it’s like to work for one of the worst professional sports franchises. Watch this team let All-Stars walk, clear cap space to sign Rajon Rondo for a year, and compare their recent draft picks to once in a generation talent.
