This is why we love Joel Embiid.

The Philadelphia 76ers center knocked down a clutch free throw to help ice the team's 124-122 win over the Denver Nuggets last night and then he took to shushing the crowd as a timeout was called.

This is just classic Embiid.

Embiid lives for these moments as he has been anything but scared of the big stage in the NBA.

Last night, Embiid tallied 23 points, six rebounds, five assists, three blocks and two steals in 29 minutes. He made 12-of-14 free throws.

Embiid has certainly silenced any critics he had before making his NBA debut this season. And last night, he silenced everyone in Denver.
