Joel Embiid was not kidding around when he warned everyone to Trust The Process after the Philadelphia 76ers took him third overall in the 2014 NBA Draft.

In just his second “full” season with the team, the 24-year-old led the team in points (22.9), rebounds (11) and blocks (1.8) per game and helped lead the team to a 52-30 record during the regular season. Confidence has never been a problem for the youngster as he’s always been one to speak his mind both on social media platforms and during interviews, and he’s not afraid to have some fun at the expense of his fellow NBA players.

Ahead of Game 2, Embiid was at it again during the pre-game warm-ups as he showed the fans watching the shoot around his best James Harden impression.

Although Embiid isn’t suiting up for Game 2 due to his facial fracture, it didn’t stop him from poking fun at Harden’s step-back travel that went uncalled.

Harden isn’t the only player Embiid has mocked during the pre-game warm-ups as he also mocked Lonzo Ball’s unusual shooting stance and technique earlier this season.
