It's a happy, happy day for Philadelphia 76ers fans.
They just selected Markelle Fultz with the No. 1 overall pick in the draft and the future is bright.
Oh, and Joel Embiid gave the squad a new nickname: the FEDS.
According to Sixers fans, the new nickname is the "FEDS" (Fultz, Embiid, Dario, Simmons).. the FEDS are coming 🔥🔥🔥#TheProcess— Joel Embiid (@JoelEmbiid) June 22, 2017
That's Fultz, Embiid, Dario, and Simmons. Which is probably better than FESS, which it would be if you went all last names instead of selectively choosing Dario's first name. WHO CARES LOVE THESE GUYS.

Embiid is not shy about proclaiming nicknames. He even gave himself the nickname of "THE PROCESS" and people are down with it.
Embiid can do what he wants.
