The Sixers star Joel Embiid is living his dream of playing in the Olympics with the optimized Dream Team from the USA. Having stars like LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Anthony Edwards, and Kevin Durant playing alongside him, the 30-year-old center is definitely having a blast with his team. Even if one considers it irrelevant, the latest clip of Embiid having fun with the team while making some hoops indicates otherwise. The 30-year-old center recently made a shot while chilling on the court that left the fans as well as players beside him awestruck, including LeBron.

So it seems like LeBron and Co. were having a competition to throw the most hoops. With the video getting started, LeBron was clearly claiming that he had hit five shots. However, the team members raised their voices with Anthony Edwards being the primary entity in the rebellion. At last, King James recalled and admitted that he had only hit four shots. The 4x NBA champion James went again for a bank shot but could not get the results as expected as the ball missed the hoop.

The Lakers star was followed by Joel Embiid then who also missed two shots as it seemed in the snippet. No doubt it was quite rare of him to exclaim and say “Oh my god!!!”, expressing his emotions when he was unable to score the basket. However, that changed ultimately as in the third attempt, Embiid made a perfect bank swish shot hitting backboard first and smoothly running through the net like a splash. The shot was so precise and also thrown with Embiid’s left hand[his dominant hand is right one], it made everyone present go crazy. Even LeBron grouped with others and was cheering Embiid like children in summer camp enjoying the game.

It was worth noting that Fox Sports Analysts Chris Broussard and Rob Parker questioned Embiid’s spot on the team due to his injury woes. As per the sports analysts, they did not know why he was on the national team. Also, the list includes rapper Mase who claimed that the Sixers star is betraying his nation to play for America. It includes various other members of the NBA fanbase who went the Sixers star. However, despite such criticism, the 30-year-old seemed out of worries.

Instead, he was enjoying the team he has with the NBA All-Stars and Legends. Such a sight could not just pass without NBA fans’ precise observations as they commented on Embiid‘s prowess in the latest video.

Fans shocked after witnessing Joel Embiid’s lefty bank swish

When the USA Basketball uploaded the clip on their IG account as well as X account with the caption, “Joel with the lefty bank swish! “, there was no way fans were letting go of such healthy basketball relations. After going through the full video, one of the users was left in awe of the acuteness of Embiid’s shot as he commented on X, “Smooth”.

One of the users on X was so much impressed by Embiid that he declared him the best in the league. Well, it also seemed valid since the Sixers star was among the best in the league on that court.

Although some of the fans went after LeBron’s cheating during the shot count. Apparently, King James shrewdly increased his shot count by one summing it up to five. However, the Olympic basketball team members were attentive due to Bron had to correct his mistake. But it did not sit well with a user and he launched a sarcasm on LeBron penning, “This man Bron always lying.”

Another user on X took a jibe at the Sixers star while praising his accurate shot. He targeted the weight of Embiid while claiming him the best due to his bank swish shot.

One of the fans on X was not praising either side. It looked like the X user was happy to see his favorite basketball players from the league playing and chilling together. Also, he gave a shoutout to the USA Basketball’s X page admin for posting that content.

Overall, it was pure bliss for the NBA fans to witness the players that go against each other during the NBA season, having fun with each other.
