Joel Embiid Zoolander

Ben Simmons seems to be fitting in quite well with his new team. And by that, we mean he is already completely comfortable with his teammates on social media.

Simmons messed around with his Philadelphia 76ers teammate Joel Embiid on Twitter Monday. It all started when Simmons posted a GIF from the NBA Draft and asked his followers to caption it.

Embiid chimed in with a couple of Harambe references.

Simmons then decided to respond and went to the well for an old photo of Embiid he compared to Zoolander:

After that they decided to call it a night.

Embiid has major health problems, but one area where he’s proven himself to be an All-Star is in social media.
