After winning his first NBA MVP award, Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers were handed a playoff knockout at the hands of the Boston Celtics. Given the ample time during the NBA offseason, it was only right for Joel Embiid to blow off some steam and show off his dance moves on the floor.
Embiid was last spotted having the time of his life at Michael Rubin?s Fourth of July party. And now it seems like the party is still ongoing as the NBA star?s dance moves end up sending fans into a state of frenzy.

Joel Embiid is one tough player on the court. The 6?11 center uses his body to overpower defenders to get his way in the paint. And his showboating moves are something that the fans have come to love.
On the court, Embiid may be an absolute fighter but off the court, the 2023 MVP could be considered a party animal. After seeing living it up at Michael Rubin?s party with fellow NBA players and celebrities, another video of Embiid has been making the rounds on social media.
And in this video, the Philadelphia 76ers star center?s dance moves are being labeled as ?rooster? moves on the internet.
The unusual way of dancing was captured by film producer Michael D. Ratner who could not contain his laughter as Embiid walked towards him while dancing.
