Joel Embiid is A Fair Haired Woman Who Spins And Pulls Outmany things. He's a phenomenal basketball player, a quality quote, a physical marvel and, as most NBA fans know by know, hilarious on social media.
But this one-liner from Thursday may be his finest internet moment yet.

Reserves were announced Thursday. But Embiid -- despite having a stellar season for the Philadelphia 76ers -- wasn't on the list. (The snub may have even cost the Philly big man a date with his famous crush, but more on that in a minute.)
Despite not being selected by coaches, Embiid wasamong the top choices in a fan vote -- which he used to tee up this topical tweet.

Sound familiar? Donald Trump, it's been reported, is somewhat tormented by his popular vote loss to Hillary Clinton.
A witty reply to Embiid from ESPN writer Mina Kimes pretty much sums up the internet's reaction.

This isn't Embiid's first time tweaking Trump, though.
As the Republican candidate proceeded to his surprise presidential election win in November, Embiid posted a tweet that America was "tanking" in the way a sports team would purposely give up on its season.

Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable Way back in 2014, Embiid related a mini-tragedy to fans via Twitter. He said he was trying to strike up an amorous relationship with "this famous girl," who rebuffed him. The "famous girl," Embiid said, told him to "come back when you're All-Star."
Thus, making the All-Star team this season in his first real chance as a candidate became doubly important for Embiid. Speculation has said the celebrity "CRUSH" is Rihanna.

But Embiid was snubbed Thursday, a blow one assumes was doubly defeating with both romance and prestige on the line.
We'd say he rebounded well with his comedic tweet. And, hey -- there's always next year become and All-Star and win that date.
