Philadelphia 76ers Joel Embiid endured social media trolls. Let him tweet.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK – MAY 16: Magic Johnson of the Los Angeles Lakers and Joel Embiid

Television trolling too

In fact, the star center of the Philadelphia 76ers gets trolled from the most unexpected places:

And it bothers him. To be honest, it bothers me. It should bother everyone. While it’s true that 31 games in three seasons is not much of a return on investment, those 31 games were a sampler of what lies ahead for the Philadelphia 76ers.

NBA veteran rookie

Joel Embiid is a three-year veteran of the ins and outs of the NBA. While only 31 games on the court, he is not a johnny-come-lately regarding social media. In fact, he’s been masterful in the timing boldness of his social media statements.

While national media works the ratings game to manufacture a persona easy-to-hate by fans of other NBA teams, Embiid is actually one of the most easy-going likeable personalities in the league.

Until you step onto the basketball court.
