Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid has established himself as one of the most promising bigs in the league. Even Golden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green has taken notice of his skill set. These two, though differently sized, excel at both ends of the floor for the Warriors and Sixers.
There are a lot of things that the All-Star big man can do extremely well on the court. However, his skills off the court are far more impressive to Green, according to Anthony Slater of The Athletic
Draymond Green asked to label Joel Embiid's best skill: “Off the court, Instagram locations”
No doubt. There is plenty of truth to his comments.
As good as Embiid is on the court, his skills in basketball are only matched by his social media prowess. Even before he became an All-Star for the first time in his career, Embiid's social media game has become the stuff of legend.

Part of his attack when trolling other players is to give locations that are relevant to whatever picture he posts at the time. Among the notable instances was when he posterized Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook. Following the game, Embiid took to Instagram to post the picture along with the location being at a “Crime Scene Investigation.”
Then there was the time Milwaukee Bucks owner Wes Edens made some disparaging comments about the Sixers' process. After their win over the Bucks, Embiid proceeded to post a picture with the location being “The Results U.”
That said, it seems Green knows better than to give his younger peer any material to work with in the future. They will team up in the All-Star Game as part of Stephen Curry's group so it is safe to assume that there won't be any fireworks between these two that could lead to more Instagram goodies from the center.
