Draymond loves Embiid: 'He's f---ing hilarious'
Joel Embiid continues to attract fans, even from opposing teams.
The Philadelphia 76ers center talked smack leading up to his first-ever game against the Golden State Warriors, saying he saw Draymond Green over the summer and told him he "was gonna kick his ass."
The Sixers would go on to lose to the Dubs twice in the span of a week, but it didn't stop Embiid from throwing some shade afterward:
Now we know what it feels like to blow a big lead.. Gotta stay focused to get the job done. Great learning lesson and I also love playing against Draymond #TheProcess pic.twitter.com/hGGQN1SH73

Green finally responded on Wednesday.
"He's f---ing hilarious. Man, I love that dude," he said, as quoted by ESPN's Chris Haynes.
He then echoed that sentiment on Twitter:
😂😂😂😂😂😂 looking forward to playing against you for years my man. Fun times https://t.co/I2YlSfyFXg
