Joel Embiid has sparked a bit of chaos with his comments on Paul George and the Boston Celtics.
The Philadelphia 76ers suffered a 123-101 defeat against the Celtics, and while all eyes were on Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, George proved to be the star of the show.

The former Sixers star scored 36 points and recorded five rebounds to help his side win the game. Embiid hailed George and even claimed that his old pal has been Boston’s best player all season.
Chandler Parsons, however, believes he’s just stirring the pot.

“You can kinda say he’s been their best player,” Embiid said about George after the Boston Celtics beat the Philadelphia 76ers.
He may have just been praising a friend and former teammate, but many people felt he was firing a shot at Tatum instead.

The Brown-Tatum drama has dominated headlines since the start of this NBA season, and that was the storyline going into the game.
After the Celtics star came out on top, many people, including Parsons, felt that Embiid started trolling Tatum by calling George the best player in Boston.
Parsons said on the Run It Back show: “Clearly, he’s stirring the pot a little bit. This is just a distraction. This is Joel Embiid. Let’s not forget, Joel Embiid is one of the biggest trolls in the history of the NBA.
“Paul George is rolling, but Jayson Tatum’s numbers, all-around, are still better. Jayson Tatum is the guy. This is why they moved off of Jaylen Brown for him to be the clear-cut picture. This is the guy!”
