Joel Embiid might not be making his goofy presence known on twitter as much anymore, but he had it on full display on Friday night before the 76ers played the Bulls.

As we came to find out on twitter, especially after he was drafted with the No. 3 overall pick by the 76ers, Joel Embiid has one of the more colorful personalities of not just anyone in the NBA, but maybe anyone in sports.

The former Kansas star doesn’t tweet as many goofy things as he used to, like photoshopping himself with Rihanna all over the place, but he let that personality shine through again on Friday night as his team was getting set to take on one of the best in the Eastern Conference, the Chicago Bulls.

Take a peek at the video below as, with his teammates surrounding him, Embiid leads the Sixers in a nice little pregame dance to get them loosened up.

This young man is just the best, he really is.

There’s a good chance that Embiid might not see the floor during game time for the 76ers this season as he continues to rehab from a back injury, but just by looking at this video, his mere presence with the team alone is a plus. If anything, the Sixers will be loose every night.
