Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid was wilding on the entire Washington Wizards roster in Game 2 after another incredible playoff performance. The 27-year-old had one of the craziest celebrations in NBA Playoffs history after converting an and-one basket against the Wizards where he thrust his way to an old-fashioned three-point play.
The Sixers All-Star double-downed on his celebration and took his trolling to social media to channel his inner wrestler and pay homage to one of the meanest groups in WWE history.
“If you're not down with the process, I got two words for ya, ‘—- –‘,” Embiid posted on Twitter.

The caption perfectly came with a #DX and #ThrustTheProcess. That's classic Troel.
For the unaware, DX or D-Generation X was one of the biggest groups in WWE in the late 1990s. Led by The Game (formerly known as Triple H) and Sean Michaels, DX wreaked havoc in the entire federation with their rather foolish and reckless approach to the sport. They were infamous for their “S-ck it!” mantra while doing a thrust motion towards their you-know-whats just like what Embiid and Sixers did in Game 2.
The Sixers, similar to DX, have been quite the antagonists of the NBA for the past few years. Mainly because of Embiid's non-stop trolling, fans around the league have been on the Sixers' tail and it does seem that their superstar is welcoming all the disdain.
Amid all these wacky antics, Embiid and the Sixers are looking quite the formidable bunch out there. With two games under their belt in this season's playoffs so far, Philly seems to be locked in and ready to rumble.
