Joel Embiid Had a Monster Night, Takes Time to Diss Lonzo Ball on Twitter

Joel Embiid played absolutely out of his mind last night. The 7-foot 76ers center racked up 46 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists, and 7 blocks, rattling our eyeballs across his stat line with a near-quadruple double. And you could even say he deserved two more points after the final score—for dunking righteously on Lonzo Ball on Twitter.

First, the highlights. Because wow:

You don't often see a center dominating this hard in the three-point centric version of the game we see nowadays. But Embiid also went 2-for-3 from deep, just to let you know he's relevant in any era.

And then came the shade:

For those of y'all who aren't caught up, Embiid and Lonzo's father LaVar Ball have a beef that's been played out with some subtle and not-so-subtle jabs taken across social media that even resulted in Embiid being fined $10,000. Needless to say, Embiid has every reason to dunk on LaVar Ball's son—just like how he asked Ben Simmons to do in a subtweet way back when. (Simmons, yes, dunked on Lonzo last night.)

So Embiid tweeted out the glorious above photo of a sprawling Lonzo choking on his knees as he puts in a layup. Lonzo, on the other hand, scored two points in 21 minutes last night. Yikes, rough night.

But then, upon reconsidering, Embiid felt the weight of a fine barreling down on him, so he tweeted out a half-assed retraction of what was a clear sentiment.

I'll take all of what Embiid's got—on and off the court.
