A quote from the iconic DC comic in addition to the image of Embiid shushing the crowd from Sunday night’s win against the Bulls caused instant chaos.

But things didn’t stop there, though. Jimmy Butler responded under the initial post:

And if that wasn’t bad enough … this was Embiid’s reply:

Jimmy Butler tweeted this same quote 19 days before he was traded from the T-Wolves to the Sixers last year.

Now, with just about anyone else we’d be thrown into full-blown panic mode — but it’s Jo. And one of the biggest hints to this being a troll job is right in the location of his Instagram post.

Made for this... If I can take it then you can too. PHILA TOUGH!!! #AllLove pic.twitter.com/hno6UH1GPD
