We all know Joel Embiid is a man of the people, a lovable fan favorite in Philadelphia.
But he missed out on a chance to earn another big fan Sunday night.
At his concert at the Wells Fargo Center, Drake brought Embiid on stage with a chance to win $25,000 for a fan if he made a half court shot.
The night before, a fan nailed the shot from half court.
Given that Embiid is, you know, an NBA All-Star, and that fan is not, you'd think he'd have a pretty good chance.
But anything can happen on a half court shot, and things unfortunately did not go as planned for Embiid, who also missed his two lower-stakes shots before the big $25,000 attempt.
After the disappointing miss, Drake, a Raptors superfan, still made sure he gave Embiid his props.
"The good news is you're going to have a great season with the Sixers," he said.
