Joel Embiid jokes that FIFA is more difficult than guarding Anthony Davis

With the Philadelphia 76ers taking first place in the Eastern Conference, you better believe Joel Embiid is in top form.

The Sixers center appeared in a video by YouTuber ChuBoi that focused on his love for the FIFA video game series. At one point, host Embiid posed a sharp question about a FIFA game mode and the Los Angeles Lakers’ star power:

“More difficult, play FUT Champs or guard AD?”

After a few moments – probably spent calculating the most naughty answer possible – Embiid replied, “Play FUT Champs.”

That’s going to get the Lakers fans going.

In any case, in Embiid’s defense, he has some right to troll Anthony Davis and the Lakers thanks to the Sixers’ victory over the Lakers on Wednesday (less when it comes to championship rings). Embiid, in particular, had a few words for Davis’ teammate LeBron James about a dangerous push in the third quarter.

Davis has been in a bit of a slump in recent weeks, failing to clear 20 points in six of his last eight games. He managed to clear that point against Embiid’s Sixers by 23 points, strangely enough, but the Lakers were still outperformed by four points when he was on the floor.
