Joel Embiid dominates headlines with trash talk and playoff performance.
TL;DR Summary
Joel Embiid joked about needing the Memphis scorekeeper after registering only three blocks in the 76ers' win over the Nets, taking a shot at Jaren Jackson Jr.'s Defensive Player of the Year award. A Reddit post in January suggested that the Grizzlies' home scorekeeper inflated Jackson's block totals to help him win the award, but the NBA debunked the theory. Despite this, Embiid couldn't resist the opportunity to troll Jackson and the NBA.
