Who knows when we'll see Joel Embiid play in an actual NBA game? The former 3rd overall pick of the 2014 NBA Draft has yet to suit up for the Philadelphia 76ers.
Embiid has left fans craving his appearance on the court while settling for his stardom on social media.
The agile center was seemingly very funny right around the time he was getting drafted, tweeting at celebrities like Rihanna and always cracking jokes with no filter. He's cooled off somewhat, but was back at it this week with the 76ers' top pick from this past draft, Ben Simmons.
It all started with this tweet from Simmons:

Embiid was up to the challenge, referencing Harambe.

Simmons wasn't backing down and had to dig in the archives to fight a photo of Embiid that he decided resembled Ben Stiller posing from the movie Zoolander.

That was the end of it.
The 76ers could be an interesting team this season, especially if Embiid gets on the floor. They've definitely got a future star in Simmons.
