Twitter reacts to Joel Embiid's NBA All-Star snub
Despite putting up stellar numbers over his rookie campaign and benefitting from a strong fan campaign, Philadelphia center Joel Embiid was not among those selected to this season’s NBA All-Star team. Embiid, aka The Process, has become a fan favorite throughout the league, and thus, the snub sent shockwaves throughout the Twitterverse.

I hope every NBA head coach looks himself in the mirror tonight and realizes they’re the reason Joel Embiid won’t be dating Rihanna. Tragic.

Embiid should still be involved somehow. 3P contest, dunk contest and he should run the NBA twitter account during the game

But the best take of the night, as expected, belonged to Embiid himself.
