Just about everyone in the NBA world was in awe of Kawhi Leonard’s posterization of Derrick Favors, from Favors’ teammates to some of the Los Angeles Clippers to fans around the globe.
That also included Joel Embiid, who had just finished a Game 4 loss to the Atlanta Hawks in the Eastern Semifinals and was speaking to the reporters when the dunk happened.
In mid-sentence he stopped and said, “Oh my God.” Then he said to whoever was with him, “See that Kawhi dunk?”
Yep. Once again, NBA players are fans just like us.
Let’s start with the dunk and then Embiid’s reaction:
OMG KAWHI.
