First Joel Embiid dismantled Andre Drummond on the court, and then he demolished the Detroit Pistons big man off of it.
Embiid and Drummond have a history of beef going back to last year. Embiid has accused Drummond of not playing any defense and later said Drummond can’t shoot.
Then when the teams met last month, Drummond’s Pistons won even though he was ejected from the game. Embiid boasted afterwards that he owned real estate inside Drummond’s head. However, the NBA reviewed the ejection and rescinded Drummond’s tech while warning Embiid for flopping.
None of that stopped Embiid from trying to assert his dominance over Drummond.
Embiid’s Philadelphia 76ers met Drummond’s Pistons on Saturday, and Embiid got the upper hand. He demolished Drummond in the first half, putting up 32 points compared to zero for Drummond.

Embiid finished with 39 and 17 in Philly’s 10-point win and then boasted on social media about owning real estate inside Drummond’s head.

When you dominate as much as he did on the court, you have room for trash talk afterwards.
