Over the past year, Joel Embiid has made a lot of headlines not just for his strong play on the court, but also for his often-hilarious comments on social media. Recently, he once again caused quite a stir as he had a back-and-forth with Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside on Twitter, which a lot of people found highly-entertaining.
When asked about what he thinks of his antics, the Sixers big man admitted that he considers himself the “social media king.” However, he also understands that a lot of his followers look up to him, and that he makes sure he serves as a good example to them, and not putting any bad content online.
