Despite the financial struggles faced by AMC, CEO and minority owner of the Philadelphia 76ers, Adam Aron, was eager to commend Joel Embiid for his historic achievement.
Following Embiid’s record-setting 70-point game on Monday, Aron posted an awkward message on social media, acknowledging the challenges in the stock market but emphasizing the need to recognize greatness.
Aron’s post, a mix of financial concerns and sports celebration, drew attention for its unexpected combination of topics.
“So painful: 4 years after Covid the industrywide box office is still ludicrously anemic & AMC stock has slid to $4.48. Difficult to think about anything other than guiding AMC back in these challenging times. But greatness deserves praise: Sixers Joel Embiid… 70 points… 70!” wrote Aron following Embiid’s monster performance.

While Aron’s emotions paralleled the intensity of a crucial NBA Finals moment, some suggest that a separate, unadorned tribute to Embiid might have been more fitting given the player’s stellar performance in the game against the San Antonio Spurs.
