The NBA game may have transformed into a more guard-oriented pace, leaving dominant big men fading into the background, but the titans of the court now appear to be making a return to prominence.

Two of those hulking figures, Joel Embiid and Hassan Whiteside, took over the internet in the final day of preseason exhibition not only for their exploits on the court, but also for how their back-and-forth spilled over to social media.

The Philadelphia 76ers and Miami Heat big men had some pretty interesting moments during their matchup that peaked when Whiteside got into foul trouble after Embiid baited him for the harm. The former was called to the bench, but not without the latter taunting the Heat by urging them to sit Whiteside for his inability to contain the Sixers center.

Joel Embiid, known for his colorful personality especially on social media, took to Twitter to roast Hassan Whiteside with some savage mockery that took the internet’s attention.

Twitter is, of course, Embiid’s turf, but Whiteside’s home court lies on Snapchat. As such, the Heat behemoth uploaded a video where he gives some life lessons focused on humility that many believed to be an indirect shot at the Sixers’ rising star.

Regardless if the message was intended for Embiid or not, everyone can always use a slice of humble pie, but it’s always better eaten properly than being thrown into one’s face for emphasis.
