This is what I was talking about. This is what I was talking about when I said that we should all agree not to ruin Joel Embiid, not to run him out of town when he inevitably does something silly, likely while he’s hurt. In fact, because I’m so goddamned good at what I do, I nearly predicted this very thing: “Not to run him out of town for something stupid or inevitably goofing up late in a game just after photos of him doing the latest viral trend at a club at 2 a.m. the night before surface.”

So close. Bonus points for it being a Meek Mill concert.

Embiid is a rare breed. He needs to be loose, to be goofy. He’s got that thing Gronk and Travis Kelce have– he thrives on the ridiculous. Shirtless dabbing at a rap concert heals him. I wouldn’t be surprised if they fired up an MRI on his knee today and discovered that, with the hands of Jesus placed upon him, he’s fully healed and ready to go against Miami tonight. Praise the lawd, Meek hath saveth thy nee! Jojo was just cutting a rug. He’s better for it. We’re better for it. Now, brace for takes, because they’re a-comin’. Trust the process.

UPDATE: Whomp, there it is:

UPDATE 2: How tilted do you think Scott O’Neil and Bryan Colangelo are right now? Colangelo got HEATED on WIP yesterday when asked about Embiid’s knee, and now they have to wake up to him going ham on stage at the Wells Fargo Center. I’d pay to see the look on O’Neil’s face when these Tweets first crawled across his timeline.
