Watch: Embiid stuffs the daylights out of Cody Zeller

Man, oh, man is Joel Embiid having himself a night.

After kicking it off with a nod to a famed wrestler, the 76ers rookie proceeded to powerbomb the Charlotte Hornets. Having taken a pick-and-roll pocket pass and banged on Michael Kidd-Gilchrist in the first quarter, Embiid sniffed out the Hornets' attempt to run the same play in the second.

He looked to be soundly beaten by Cody Zeller, who was on his way to a thunderous slam of his own. Embiid, somehow, managed to swoop in and obliterate that would-be dunk from the side.
