There are few things I love more than when local athletes wade into the fray on Twitter. To be honest, with the exception of a few Eagles pushing back against the media over the years, we haven’t seen much of this since Nikolay Zherdev accused Tim Panaccio of being in the Russian mob. So color me tickled (can you do that?) that Joel Embiid gleefully put a cap on #RTArmageddon yesterday with this dagger through the cold, misunderstanding heart of Howard Eskin, the Darth Vadar of the resistance Tweet attack:

Embiid also got his swings in on Bucks owner Wes Edens, whose daughter Jojo (smartly) follows on her blazing Instagram:

The best thing about Embiid is that he’s so damn likable while he’s taking swings. Even Wes Edens probably read this and was like, “Ohhhhh, Jojo, guy! You got me!”
