Eskin was a vocal detractor of former Sixers general manager Sam Hinkie, and often expresses his displeasure for those who support him -- including his own son and 94WIP programming director Spike Eskin.

On Monday during the Sixers media day, Joel "The Process" Embiid called out Howard Eskin for his report, which stated that Embiid's agent wants a new contract before the center resumes playing 5-on-5 basketball.
Eskin showed up at the Sixers' practice facility in Camden, New Jersey and this happened.
Late on Monday, Embiid tweeted the video with the caption: "Howard is a bum and his son Spike is the man," but later deleted the tweet.
Eskin, of course, responded on Tuesday to Embiid's deleted tweet telling the Sixers center to "take off the bubble wrap."
This isn't the first team Eskin and Embiid have gotten into it on social media. Embiid went after Eskin during #RTArmageddon, mocking "The King" for being skeptical about Dario Saric coming over to the team.

Embiid, 23, has played just 31 career NBA games after three seasons. On March 24th, Embiid underwent successful minor arthroscopic surgery to repair a meniscus tear in his left knee. However, Embiid has still not been cleared for 5-on-5 activities, but Sixers GM Bryan Colangelo says he is expected to be ready for the regular season.
