So many things that Joel Embiid does — be it making highlight-reel blocks, giving defenders absolute fits in the paint, or delivering some all-time quotes in press conferences — fit under the umbrella of viral content. He's someone who just provides a whole lot of entertainment in a whole lot of ways, and his celebrations are part of that equation. Luckily, there's a whole lot to celebrate when you're an MVP candidate on the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference and are coasting to what looks like a Game 2 victory over the Washington Wizards... and if I just jinxed the 76ers, then I'm sorry.
One of his best celebrations made an appearance on a play that was nothing short of amazing, especially when you consider just how fast the 7-foot, 280-pound big man was moving when he converted a layup through contact.
Ahhh... another Embiid classic. It's not the classiest celebration, and it may not even have a place on "The Rights to Ricky Sanchez" Field of 64 bracket of the top Joel Embiid moments, but it's something that Sixers fans have come to love as a signal of good times.
As usual, 76ers Twitter absolutely loved the celly and is likely already thinking of the best way to meme-ify it.
