Joel Embiid Trolls 'Jeopardy!' Contestant Who Botched Easy Nickname Question
There are few NBA superstars more entertaining on social media than Joel Embiid. The 76ers big man knows when to troll, and he does it to perfection.
Take this week for example. A contestant on "Jeopardy!" completely blew it when presented with a clue about the All-Star's nickname.
"Do a 180?" Come on, dude!
Of couse, Embiid's nickname is "The Process," as in "trust the process." Clearly, Basketball Twitter and "Jeopardy!" have limited overlap.
So, how did Embiid choose to respond to this contestant completely choking on national television and undoubtedly making Alex Trebek cringe? In the only fashion he knows how.
Joel, we truly don't deserve you. It's one thing for Embiid to post this clip, but as you can see, he also changed his Twitter handle to 'Joel "Do a 180" Embiid???'
Simply brilliant. It's safe to say everyone knew the answer was "The Process," but unfortunately for contestant Paul, "Do a 180" just had a better ring to it.
Maybe this is something Draymond Green and the 14-48 Warriors can embrace. For now, Embiid will continue to trust the process and push Philly towards a deep postseason run.
That whole 180 thing just doesn't feel right.
