An athlete's arsenal of moves on offense, such as that of Joel Embiid, have come to define him. But he also has a unique celebration that can easily be regarded as his own. His teammate T.J. McConnell loves the celebration so much that he emulated it after an and-one.

Below is the video clip of McConnell mimicking Embiid's celebration, as posted by Dime on UPROXX:

They were up by a huge margin at that point of the game. There's really no reason one should give McConnell flak for celebrating.

In fact, this is not the first time that McConnell gave Embiid some sort of homage. Just last month, a photo of McConnell surfaced online of him wearing a custom-designed shirt with ā€œEmbiidā€ printed on it. Below is the photo as posted by Molly Sullivan of NBCS Philly:

It was a class act from one classy guy. To recall, his backup point guard role was almost taken away from him when Markelle Fultz was cleared for action.

He did not fret in any way. He simply respected the coach's decision because it might be good for the team. Instead, McConnell said, as reported byĀ Jessica Camerato of NBC Sports Philadelphia:

ā€œIā€™m not going to cry over spilled milk,ā€ McConnell said. ā€œMarkelle and Ben (Simmons) are special players and they need to be out there for us to win. Iā€™ve just got to stay ready. If my numberā€™s called, Iā€™ve just got to go out there and be a pro and help this team win.ā€
