Joel Embiid on Twitter (@JoelEmbiid)

This was right there with Boris Diaw’s Instagram for easiest choice to put on the list. Unfortunately over the past few seasons Embiid has had more time to spend on social media than he has on the basketball court, but it has produced results. Lots and lots and lots of really funny results.

The best part about Embiid is that you are never quite sure what you are going to get. There are times where he decides to try and interact with other celebrities. Other times he decides that making fun of other players is the best course of action for the day. Just as often you get him embracing his cult following in Philly with “Trust the Process” tweets. The one thing you can be sure of is that Embiid will be funny.

And now as the 76ers are approaching their time of getting competitive it should only be better. Embiid clearly loves the game of basketball, competing and his fans. With a summer of those things looking better and better, Embiid could be legendary. Especially if the Sixers do well in the Las Vegas Summer League.

And recently Kevin Durant has taken shots at Embiid’s new nickname for the Philadelphia core. There is a great chance that Twitter shots get fired from Embiid. Especially since Durant has given so much for Embiid to use as ammo over the past few years. And Embiid has no real filter. This could get amazing in a hurry.
