Jeopardy contestants know a lot.
A LOT.
But sometimes, they don’t learn the sports-related information devoted fans would consider basic knowledge.
A Jeopardy contestant was asked: “Joel Embiid in 2019 won the trademark for this nickname of his that also describes the 76ers’ strategy of improving the team.”
The contestant, who clearly didn’t know, made a guess based on a word that could describe the Philadelphia 76ers’ turnaround.
He guessed ‘Do a 180.’
Well, the Philadelphia 76ers star center has seen the video. He not only responded to it on Twitter with a ridiculous video — he changed his Twitter name to reflect this new and … improved … nickname that he may or may not be going by (but probably not).

It’s already, Jeopardy star Paul. Just do a 180 and get the next question right.
Trust your process of answering questions. It’s worked out well so far for you.
Maybe he was just tanking? Not winning ended up working out well for the Sixers, why not this gentleman?
Or maybe he thought that, because Embiid successfully filed a trademark on it, he could get sued for saying it on national television.
Sam Hinkie died for this man’s sins.
ah yes the classic nickname, Joel “do-a-180” Embiid. pic.twitter.com/js8yITpT7G
