Sixers' Joel Embiid and his trash talk | A list of player feuds

Before Joel Embiid ever played a minute for the Sixers, he was already on Twitter pursuing dates with Rihanna.

Embiid has transformed himself into a cross between Twitter comedian and NBA superstar, and that's translated onto the court too.

Sometimes that rubs people the wrong way, and Embiid doesn't really care.
