We know Joel Embiid trusts the process. But we don't know how smart the Sixers' star might actually be.

Embiid appeared alongside Hall of Famers Karl Malone, Magic Johnson and Clyde Frazier, as well as a number of current NBA players in Jimmy Kimmel's latest Mean Tweets segment Thursday night prior to the opening game of the NBA Finals. When it was The Process' turn, he went back to a post from just after he was drafted by the Sixers in June 2014.
