Joel Embiid’s big surprise and 4 other standout moments from 76ers media day

4. Jared McCain lowkey pokes fun at Philadelphia fans

76ers rookie and renowned TikTok star, Jared McCain, will undoubtedly be a fan-favorite among the Philadelphia faithful for as long as he’s on the team. A consensus five-star prospect in college, his experience as a Duke Blue Devil seems like it will come in pretty handy, especially in front of such a spirited crowd like Philly’s.

In an exchange with The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Gabriela Carroll, the young guard bared that he’s ready to take on the rowdy 76ers audience in his first foray in the big league.

I think it’s prepared me perfectly, especially the Duke fan base. I think it’s a little similar. I think maybe Philly might be a little bit more passionate, but, you know, we’ll see about that. I think it’s prepared me perfectly for where I’m going to be this year

McCain may act goofy and carefree on social media, but his game is pretty straightforward. While there is a lack of certainty as to what his role could look like this season, the Duke standout inarguably boasts real promise as a dangerous scorer. Here’s to looking forward to seeing him thrive as a Sixer.
