Bradley Beal trolls Joel Embiid in hilarious fashion after layup (Video)

The troller becomes the trolled, as Joel Embiid was on the receiving end of some hilarious theatrics from Wizards star Bradley Beal.

Embiid typically has every right to troll, but as the lowest-seeded team in the Eastern Conference Playoffs, the Washington Wizards and guard Bradley Beal have to get their moment in the sun while they can.

Beal scored a solid driving layup right past Embiid in the third quarter, and made mention of a moment earlier in the game when the MVP candidate Embiid tried to draw a foul. Motioning to the officials, Beal threw out his arms in dramatic fashion.

Beal, of course, did not get the call. But that wasn’t the point he was trying to make.

NBA Playoffs: Joel Embiid vs Bradley Beal is the battle we need

Beal and Embiid are the best players on their respective teams, so it makes sense that these two alpha-males would try and get under the other’s skin. Embiid essentially has a masters degree in doing just that, so it’ll be imperative that Beal doesn’t let any social media battle or on-court theatrics distract him from the already-tough goal at hand.

The Sixers are heavily-favored in the series for a reason. For now, Beal and the Wizards are keeping things interesting.
