Toronto Raptors fans, led by team ambassador Drake, broke out their best troll moves for Joel Embiid during Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Tuesday night.
The Raptors blew out Embiid’s Philadelphia 76ers 125-89 in the game. Embiid, who has been dealing with an illness, scored 13 points in 31 minutes and clearly looked ill.
As he checked out at the end of a bad game, Raptors fans trolled him by doing an airplane move.

What’s the story with the airplane? During a Game 3 win over Toronto, Embiid did every celebration in the book, including the airplane. Toronto fans took note and threw it right back at him at a time when they could gloat.
The Raptors lead the series 3-2 and will look to close things out on Thursday in Philly.
