Joel Embiid is all-in on LeBron James

LeBron James might be the most sought-after free agent of his time, and possibly the most coveted ever in NBA history, and Joel Embiid

Earlier in the week, a Philadelphia-based company shot the first of many shots at LeBron James in the form of billboards in downtown Cleveland. After a win in Cleveland against the King on Thursday night, arguably the most vocal player on the Philadelphia 76ers began his recruitment process and decided to chime in.

The Sixers traveled to Cleveland to square off with the Cavs’ newly added youth in Jordan Clarkson, Larry Nance, Jr and Rodney Hood with their own young core, led by Ben Simmons, Dario Saric, Robert Covington and Embiid.

After LeBron amazed the crowd with some sick dribble moves in the first half, the Cavs came out flat in the second half and got behind dropping their second of five games since returning from the All-Star break.

Just like those billboards caught the eyes of James and the NBA on Tuesday, this post from “the Process” himself, Joel Embiid, will be sure to keep NBA Twitter occupied and the conspiracies floating.

So many things going on in this picture . . . just look at that ear-to-ear grin from Embiid. Look at the smile on LeBron’s face, it’s a match made in heaven, right? Embiid is one of the more social media-savvy guys of the league, he’s petty, he’s funny and generally always knows the right time to strike on his victims with the perfect clap-back post. Whether it’s on Twitter or Instagram, Embiid keeps us yearning for more.

This positive and friendly post from Embiid is unconventional and strange compared to the more recent kinds of beef we’ve seen Embiid be involved in, but to get the King, you must continue to treat him as such — the King!

Whether or not, there’s a new big three in Philadelphia come next season, that is left to be seen, but it won’t come from a lack of effort on the part of fans or its players. The only question left to ask is, who’s next to announce their love for ‘Bron?
