Joel Embiid has been one of the funnier players in the NBA over the last few years as he loves to troll his teammates, opposing players, and sometimes even his fans. Embiid doesn't take himself too seriously which has led to him being roasted on numerous occasions. Despite this, Embiid continues to live his life however he sees fit and has proven himself to be one of the best big-men in the game.
