Joel Embiid throws alley oop to himself off the backboard for dunk vs. the Magic [VIDEO]

Joel Embiid lobs to himself for dunk vs Magic

Joel Embiid is currently credited as the NBA’s most dominant player. In addition, Embiid is the defending league MVP, and he has the Sixers playing well. The past couple of seasons, the narrative has been that James Harden was the problem. To begin this season, Harden was traded to the Clippers. As a result, Tyrese Maxey has stepped up as the second star. The Sixers have won four straight and Embiid lobbed to himself, as they finished off the Orlando Magic.

Joel Embiid has the Philadelphia 76ers holding the third seed in the East. The past few seasons have seen the team being top four in the East. However, most pundits agree that there’s a few things holding them back from being a true title contender. During the Embiid era, the closest the Sixers got to the title was collapsing in Game 7 of the second round against the Hawks in 2021. That moment officially put an end to the Ben Simmons era, creating the current Sixers’ era.

Joel Embiid must’ve watched the Minnesota Timberwolves, last night. Anthony Edwards had the highlight, in their win over the Grizzlies. Edwards lobbed the ball to himself, when he got stuck in traffic, and he had an energizing dunk. Similarly, Embiid threw the ball off the backboard to himself, for his own dunk. This gave Philadelphia a spark, as the Sixers ended up getting a blowout win on the home court of the Orlando Magic.
