On Friday against the Orlando Magic, Joel Embiid rolled out the first edition of his signature Under Armour shoes. After the debut of the Embiid One, Stephen Curry welcomed the Philadelphia 76ers big to the Under Armour signature shoe family.
On Instagram, Curry shared a video from the gym with an impression of the Sixers All-Star center. From the moment he crossed halfcourt, the two-time Most Valuable Player transformed into Embiid. Curry caught the ball at the top of the 3-point line and pump-faked from beyond the arc. The point guard turned center proceeded to take the ball inside before flipping in a turnaround shot from the key.
Curry capped off his impression with an Embiid themed celebration routine. In the caption, Curry welcomed the Kansas Jayhawk product with Embiid’s signature “trust the process” mantra.
