Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid is a great basketball player, but there's another thing he's really good at: annoying his opponents and their supporters.
The Sixers big man proved as much on Saturday right after banking a clutch triple that ensured Philly's 114-105 win. With less than 20 seconds left and the team just ahead 109-104, Embiid banked a triple over Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic to pull away for good.
While the triple is frustrating enough, it's what happened after that undoubtedly infuriated Bulls fans even more: Embiid waving good bye to the home crowd who were all hoping for a Chicago win.

Of course this is nothing new from Joel Embiid. He loves getting some real estate on his opponents' heads–and the Bulls are his latest victim.
The good thing about the Sixers superstar and MVP candidate is that he can walk the talk. Against Chicago, he finished with 30 points and 15 rebounds in just 34 minutes of play. It was a dominant display, and the Bulls just had no answer for him on all facets.
Had the Sixers collapsed, Embiid would have been on the receiving end of plenty of mockery. However, he has led his team to victory and so he's allowed to talk trash all he wants. That's what he gets for winning.
