Former New York Knicks star Charles Oakley recently expressed his disapproval of reigning NBA MVP Joel Embiid's conduct during the ongoing playoff series between the Knicks and the Philadelphia 76ers. Embiid's standout performance, scoring 50 points in Game 3 to secure a 125-114 victory for the 76ers, was overshadowed by his on-court behavior that drew criticism.
