There's a reason the city of Philadelphia has grown to love Joel Embiid. Not only is he a productive basketball player for the 76ers, but he's also an amusing, comical figure off the court.
The big man was in attendance at a Meek Mill concert at the Wells Fargo Center on Friday night. During what appeared to be an intermission, Embiid removed his shirt and started dancing to Future's hit song "Wicked."
And, of course, the crowd went crazy. Embiid once again turned social media upside down.

He has missed the 76ers' past eight games with a left knee contusion and hasn't played in 11 of the past 12. But after watching those dance moves, there's a good chance that the third overall pick in 2014 could be making a return sooner rather than later.
