Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons

Since all the franchises in the NBA have focused upon maintaining a significant duo to lead the team. For some years now, that responsibility has been led by Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid for Philadelphia 76ers. Not only does these two players compliment each other’s game. But are also good friends who have stood for one another inside as well as outside the court.

A same incident occurred in 76ers vs Hawks game 3 as Simmons saved Embiid from an embarrassing Shaqtin a fool moment. Joel Embiid was tripled-teamed near the rim. Of course, he wasn’t able to get a shot up properly and forced himself to hoist the ball.
