The Philadelphia 76ers faced off on Tuesday night against the Denver Nuggets for the second time this season, the first of which was won by the Nugs in Denver. However, one of the most impressive highlights came courtesy of the 76ers’ Joel Embiid.

As you can see, the hulking 7’ center has plenty of balletic ability on the court, as this was one of the more acrobatic shots you’ll see a 250-pound man make in the NBA.

Embiid and the 76ers came into tonight’s game with a 17-7 record, which was good for 4th in the Eastern Conference, which was only a half-game behind the Heat for 3rd and 2 games behind the Celtics for 2nd  — though both of those teams have played more games than Philly has.

Embiid’s efficiency and per-game production is slightly down in 2019-20, but the team also has the best talent around him in his career, so the team is still performing exceptionally well.
