On Sunday, Philadelphia 76ers superstar Joel Embiid sent out a tweet that is going viral on Twitter.
Embid: “Might as well be a Ferrari strategist right now lol… every week is more amazing than the next.”
Embiid and the 76ers are coming off another stellar regular season in which they were the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference, earning home field advantage in the NBA Playoffs.
They were 51-31 and an impressive 27-14 on the road.
However, once again they were sent home early.
In the first round, they beat the Toronto Raptors, but the Raptors surprisingly took them to six games.
They ended up losing to Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat in the second round in six games.
There was also a lot of drama during the season as Ben Simmons did not play in a game for the team, and then was traded at the trade deadline to the Brooklyn Nets.
Andre Drummond, Seth Curry and draft picks were also sent to Brooklyn in the deal.
As for the 76ers, they acquired the 2018 NBA MVP James Harden and Paul Milsap.
Harden and Embiid now form one of the best pairings in the entire league, and they will now have a full season together in 2023.
The franchise has been a contender for the past few seasons, but they have yet to make it to the Eastern Conference Finals during that time frame.
Simmons and Embiid were a solid pairing, but they never got over the hump.
