Just like millions of Americans who watched the Presidential debate on Wednesday night between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, Philadelphia 76ers‘ rookie Ben Simmons decided to tune in as well.
It didn't take him long before he took to Twitter and gave his thoughts about the Republican nominee:

As his Twitter followers took notice of his venting by replying and retweeting his posts, little did he know that one of his teammates was also reading his tweets. Known for his comedic antics on social media, Joel Embiid trolled Simmons with this reply:
If he wins, he's gonna deport you….. https://t.co/yswmQrNLzn

The top pick of this year's draft then made a witty comeback to Embiid's hilarious tweet:

The way they joke with one another goes to show how much chemistry they have already built. If they'll be able to play together cohesively, the Sixers will be one of the most entertaining teams to watch this season.
