We Now Have Video Evidence That Ben Simmons And Joel Embiid Are Best Buds
Lotta folks out have been questioning the chemistry on this Philadelphia 76ers team. Lotta folks seem to be of the belief that Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid simply cannot coexist on the same roster together. Lotta folks also have a giant bowl of mashed potatoes for brains because they're all a bunch of certified idiots after watching this video.
The thing is that 1) you don't slap another man's ass with that much force unless you have that type of relationship with him and 2) you would never let another man slap your ass that hard without turning around an immediately fighting him unless it was one of your dudes. You saw the immediate reaction on Embiid's face when open palm-to-ass contact was made. He was ready to turn around and glue his fist to someone's face. But when he realized it was just Ben, he just turned and smiled because he knew it was guys being dudes. There's really only one step further for this relationship to go before they're each wearing matching BFF necklaces, and that would be the ball tap. The ball tap is the ultimate sign of friendship. The ass slap can sometimes be given a pass by really good teammates, but if you're able to hit another man in the balls without it turning into a full blown brawl, that's when you know you have a best pal in life. But for all the talk about the lack of chemistry on this team, I'd say an ass slap like this going unpunished is all the evidence you need that these guys actually love each other.
Trust The Process. Trust The Friendship. I'll see you all on Broad Street in June.
