Needless to say, this story gained a lot of attention in the NBA world, and now we have the King of Social Media himself (Joel Embiid) responding to the story. The 76ers big man sent a tweet late Monday that perfectly mocked the whole Durant situation, and in case there was any doubt, he even tagged the name of the fake Instagram account.
If there was a trophy for best NBA player on Twitter, Embiid would win it every year.
