It was used as a meme by some, who have been feeling the vibes this entire season. Harden shot 87.7 percent from the FT line this season, while Embiid shot 81.4 percent. Their field goal percentages are in the 40s, something which many fans thought could be more.

Overall, many thought the situation to be hilarious. Because two players from the same team crashed and ended up with a foul.

However, despite the slightly negative tone from some fans, many looked at it as something hilarious. Some even pointed out that the play before this was equally hilarious. Having said that, one cannot deny that their techniques have paid off till now.

Apart from all the jokes made, Embiid, Harden, and Sixers are leading 2-0 against the Raptors. With two more wins, the newly formed duo will head to the Round 2 of the playoffs. Furthermore, Embiid’s MVP-worthy performance has been the talk of the season as well.

Following their 112-97 Game 2 win, the 76ers will head to the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto for Game 3.
