Joel Embiid is laughing at a hilarious dunk attempt that provoked a brutal response from his 76ers teammate, Ben Simmons.
Simmons earned a triple-double assist as he led Philadelphia to a 119-11 win over the NBA on Phoenix.
The Australian superstar had 19 points, 11 rebounds and nine assists Monday night, but it was teammate Joel Embiid who scored the first goal with 33 points.
The Philadelphia center also collected 17 rebounds in a sparkling match that did not always reach the heights suggested by its final statistics.
The case happened in the second quarter with the 76ers with nine points in advance and Embiid ending up in an empty lane.
In the absence of opposition players around him, the Philly star had the opportunity to score two easy points.

However, Embiid decided to seek fame by attempting a daring windmill dunk that ended in a spectacular failure.
The filming captured Simmons giving his teammate an incredulous look at the incident, while fans also insist on social media.
