Philadelphia 76ers All-Star Joel Embiid threw down one heck of a rim rocker in the Sixers' match against the Atlanta Haws on Monday.
The 25-year-old Cameroonian big was squared up at the 3-point line when he baited his initial defender Alex Len to contest his shot four minutes in to the third quarter.
Embiid turned the corner and came barrelling down the lane before throwing down a one-handed hammer over weak-side defender John Collins. The poster hyped up Embiid as he stared down Collins and did the popular dance “shimmy” — which earned him a technical for taunting.
