MANILA, Philippines – Little kids beware: no easy buckets when Joel Embiid is protecting the paint.
The Philadelphia 76ers hosted their annual beach bash on Saturday, August 27, where kids got to play alongside players from the team.
During one segment, Embiid, who was guarding a small kid, allowed him to drive to the paint and seemingly attempt an easy basket. But then the 7-footer relentlessly swatted away the shot.

Classic.
Embiid, the number 3 pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, has yet to make his debut due to two foot surgeries. The big man is expected to play this upcoming NBA season. – Rappler.com
