In case the Orlando Magic need any reminding, Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid has a deft euro step that he can boast. With Philly hosting Orlando at Wells Fargo Center, the Sixers big man showed the Magic why they can't leave him with wide open space as he pulled off one of his polished moves in his bag of tricks.
Embiid took advantage of some defensive miscommunication from Orlando and attacked with an elegant euro step. Evan Fournier tried to distract Embiid but to no avail, and the 24-year-old All-Star drove to the basket and avoided both Nikola Vucevic and D.J. Augustin with the nasty two-step.
In the most Embiid way though, the Cameroonian rubbed salt into the Magic's wound as he “euro-stepped” his way to the bench after Orlando called a timeout.
Here's the full sequence of the play below and watch Embiid's reaction after his move:
Embiid finished with 32 points, 10 rebounds, and three assists as the Sixers beat the Magic, 116-115. And while the home team had a hard time against the visiting squad following Ben Simmons' injury, Embiid would still be satisfied with his performance and his well-taken euro step that will certainly be in the highlight reel of the game.
