Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid seemed to enjoy his first All-Star game. Even though the Sixers big man was on the losing team, he still put up 19 points, eight rebounds, and one assist in 20 minutes.
It seemed however that the basketball game wasn't the only thing on his mind, he also was trying to figure out what he would say after the game on Twitter.

“I was kinda drafting a couple of tweets in my head, trying to figure out which to use tonight, but I don't know it will probably be simple, first All-Star game, I had a lot of fun.”
When asked if he would do any trolling, he didn't make any promises.

It really shouldn't be a surprise that Embiid was thinking about what to tweet after the game because he always seems pretty thoughtful in his tweets.
He has had some pretty memorable tweets since coming to the NBA. One of the better ones was when he referred to LaVar Ball on the night that Lonzo got drafted.
Please dunk on him so hard that his daddy runs on the court to save him.. https://t.co/cMvt5RYiSQ

There was the time he euro-stepped on Karl-Anthony Towns, and let him know about it after the game.
“Euro stepping our way through Minnesota and we ended up raising the cat last night.”
But his most recent one was probably his best. He was accused of cheating in the All-Star skills competition on Saturday night, and he has the perfect response to all the haters.
