Joel "The Process" Embiid has arrived.
Embiid recorded this block against LeBron James on Saturday. The 22-year-old Sixers big man chased down James for the swat - a defensive play that James isknown for.
(I know this looks like it should've been called as goaltending, but c'mon, this is Embiid and the 76ers we're talking about. Let's give them this.)
He even tapped James' hip before delivering the block. Here's another angle.
Embiid blocks James. Count it.
This comes just a week after Embiid swatted Dwight Howard's shot, and the season's barely started.
