Philadelphia 76ers owner Michael Rubin has proven that he has no desire to be outdone by Joel Embiid in social media. After Embiid's raunchy birthday greeting, Rubin sent out a hilarious message himself giving the king of trolls a dose of his own medicine.

For some context, it was Embiid who fired the first shot, wishing his boss a semi-NSFW birthday message. Here's the original post from the 7-footer, demanding that Rubin “get his birthday sex.”

Rubin exhibited the kind of unusual relationship he had with his employee by not only taking the rather inappropriate message from Embiid lightly but even bringing it a step further by firing back.

In his post, Rubin pokes fun of Embiid's peronsal relationships with the opposite sex. In the photo, the 24-year-old is seen chatting up a couple of ladies on the beach, under what looks like a decorated wedding arc. Rubin covered the faces of the female subjects, and superimposed a bride emoji, making the shot look like a beach wedding ceremony.

All is well that ends well; but knowing Embiid, this may not be the end of this budding social media exchange just yet. We'll be sure to monitor their Instagram feeds, and give you a blow-by-blow account of these exhilarating events as they take place.
