About a month and a half ago, a rumor started indicating that 76ers rookie Joel Embiid had ballooned to 300 pounds. He denied it at the time. But because he still hasn't actually suited up for the Sixers yet, a lot of people have been very skeptical about how well he has—or hasn't—taken care of himself this season.
That skepticism should subside when you see the Vine above, which features Embiid throwing down a sick between-the-legs dunk before the Sixers game tonight. But just in case it doesn't, Embiid also threw the clip up on Instagram after the game, along with a caption directed at those who have questioned his weight in recent weeks:
We're convinced that he's ready to play in the NBA. Are you?
