Joel Embiid has once again captured the attention of NBA headlines, but this time, Philadelphia Sixers fans can breathe a sigh of relief as it has nothing to do with a potential exit. The charismatic center has taken the internet by storm by showcasing his impressive dance moves at a party surrounded by family and friends

Joel Embiid’s dance moves have become a well-known spectacle in the sporting world, whether it’s shirtless at a Meek Mill concert or during basketball games. However, this time, he has unveiled a distinctive and perhaps infamous dance move that has piqued everyone’s interest. Amidst the tense situation the Philadelphia 76ers are facing with James Harden’s trade request, Embiid seems to be enjoying the off-season.

In a video that quickly went viral, Joel Embiid was spotted channeling his inner Richarlison, the Brazilian soccer player who plays for Premier League Club, Tottenham Hotspur. Richarlison is famous for his distinctive and somewhat comical “pigeon dance.” Embiid attempted to emulate the dance, putting in great effort to match the energy and steps. While he managed to pull it off to some extent, the result was more akin to an aggressive pigeon ready to attack

They are leaving no stone unturned as they playfully tease and troll the star player.

While it’s great to see Joel Embiid having fun and enjoying life off the court, many fans couldn’t help but feel disappointed with his postseason performance, particularly during the series against the Boston Celtics. The Philadelphia Sixers faced challenges in getting the desired results, and Embiid, being a key player, encountered difficulties on the offensive end. In a crucial Game 7, he failed to display the form expected of an MVP-caliber player, recording 15 points, eight rebounds, and four turnovers while shooting at a low 27.8% from the field.
