NBA Star Joel Embiid Emulates Triple H
WWE crossing over into the professional sports world is nothing new.
Every time a team wins a major championship, the WWE sends a WWE Championship to the organization. The New York Islanders use Daniel Bryan's "Yes!" chant as part of their goal celebration, and Kevin Love of the Cleveland Cavaliers carried around a WWE Title after winning the 2016 NBA Championship.
On Friday night, Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid embraced his inner Triple H with a pregame entrance that The Game is sure to love. Embiid, using Triple H's entrance theme, came out from the tunnel doing his best water-spitting impression.

Triple H responded wth a couple pointers on how get the spray juuuuuuust right…
This isn't the first time Embiid and HHH have been the talk of Twitter. Earlier in the week, Embiid captioned a photo of him by asking the WWE if it was "ready for The Process?" Triple H then responded saying "To play the game, you gotta go through The Process…"
To take it a step further, the 76ers official Twitter account post a short clip of Embiid as a created superstar in WWE 2k17, giving you the chance to see what The Process would look like if he ever decided to get into the squared circle.
