Joel Embiid brought back his “suck it” celebration Wednesday night for a national audience:

Love the refs letting the guys play. Three chops in the NFL would be 15 yards.

Of course someone has to get upset and play fun police. I just didn’t expect it to be KD:

Embiid put him back in his place:

I love to see Embiid still has a good troll in him. He doesn’t do it as much anymore. He’s matured. Had a kid. Become an MVP candidate. He’s not the 20-year-old kid anymore who can set Twitter on fire with his thumbs. But when he does it brings you back to the good ol’ days of dates with Rihanna and recruiting LeBron. It’s like watching your old dog get to that extra gear you didn’t know he still had while you’re playing fetch.

Before he got to the 76ers’ postgame press conference, Joel Embiid sent a troll reply to Kevin Durant on Twitter.

He couldn’t stop laughing. https://t.co/aXxcKXU7Ig pic.twitter.com/kUmvtyR4G9
