Anthony Edwards and Joel Embiid’s Team USA Moment Goes Viral

Anthony Edwards and Joel Embiid teamed up for an astonishing play in their game against Canada on Monday, and it’s gone viral across social media.

In a thrilling sequence, NBA stars Edwards and Embiid showcased their chemistry on the court. During the second quarter, with the United States leading Germany, 46-39, and just over a minute left before halftime, Embiid made a spectacular chase-down block.

The play was capped off with a signature finger wag reminiscent of former 76ers legend Dikembe Mutombo.

However, the excitement didn’t end there. Edwards grabbed the ball after Embiid’s block and sprinted down the length of the court.

He finished the fast break with an emphatic one-handed slam that sent fans both at the arena and online into a frenzy.

"Best basketball of the year," said one fan.

"That whole sequence was elite," said another.

"AHHHH PROUD TO BE AMERICAN," added another individual.

"THAT'S HOW YOU PLAY EMBIID," added one more.

While Embiid has encountered some challenges early in his stint with Team USA, including issues with scoring and fouls, moments like this are crucial for the team's success.

Game-changing moments like this could boost Embiid's confidence and help him find his rhythm, which the United States will need to see in their upcoming games if they want to bring home the gold medal.
