Philadelphia 76ers big man sensation Joel Embiid is asking Triple H and the WWE for help to get him to the 2017 NBA All-Star Game.

One of the best stories in the NBA thus far this season has been the growth of the Philadelphia 76ers. While they’re still near the bottom of the league in the standings, the team has begun to string wins together and their young talent is showing the growth and development everyone has been waiting for. Joel Embiid has helped lead the charge for his team and he’s becoming one of the most popular players in the league.

Whether it’s his savage social media skills or his ability to control the paint, Embiid is on his way to being the next big thing in the NBA. After the 76ers defeated the New York Knicks in a thrilling win at the buzzer on Thursday night, an iconic photo was captured of Embiid grabbing guard T.J. McConnell around the neck after the latter hit the winner.

With a perfect photo to sum up the growth of the 76ers, Embiid continued to push his agenda to make the 2017 NBA All-Star Game. He even reached out to Triple H and the WWE for their help in getting him to the big game by saying he learned his choking move from them.

In an even cooler moment on Twitter, Triple H responded to Embiid’s request and mentioned “The Process” to the delight of everyone. The tweet quickly became a popular one and continued to help toward Embiid’s pursuit.

To get the help of Triple H is something Embiid can cross of the checklist. With the 76ers playing competitive basketball and looking like a team that’s ready to make moves up the standings, Embiid deserves his chance to be rewarded for his play on the court.
