Joel Embiid is on that beat

Joel Embiid is a lot of things. For one, he is tall. For two, he is a Philadelphia 76er. For three, he is technically in his third year as a professional basketball player but yet to play a regular season game and may already be considered a bust in some people’s book but may or may not still possess a great deal of the same promise that led to his being a near consensus #1 overall pick before his initial injury. For four, he’s fun. But is he on that beat?

There has not been a lot of evidence for that one way or another. There have been rumors swirling about his on-beatness, but concrete proof has been hard to come by. That changed today. With one video, Joel Embiid’s being on that beat seemed to be real.

However, this is the 21st century. Video manipulation runs rampant. I think I saw on TV yesterday that there’s a presidential election this year. We had one like four years ago, so that can’t be true. My point is that one video is not proof of anything.

So have a second angle.

We’re getting close, but there are still some Doubting Thomases out there. There are probably some people with other names who are also skeptical. Well, Doubting Joe et. al, we have one more for you.

Yes. Joel Embiid is most certainly on that beat. Fool me once, shame on you. Fooling me three times is impossible.

To celebrate all of this, here is a combination of all three angles. This is what you need in your life.
