There’s no one more fun than Joel Embiid (John Collins don’t read this)

There’s a lot to love about Joel Embiid: his MVPish talent and production, his sense of humor, his dedication to Sam Hinkie and the remnants of The Process, his obvious love affair with the fans.

There’s also his knack for picking out an opponent and tormenting them. On Monday, it was John Collins’s turn in the JoJo blender.

The main event was Alex Len biting on an Embiid pump fake at the three-point line, which released JoJo to drive the lane. Collins, a good teammates, slid in on help defense but really got caught in no man’s land. Embiid jumped over and through him for a monster dunk.

And then, content not just to get a poster on every smartphone screen on the Atlantic seaboard, he gave Collins a Toinesque shimmy.

Some people are just born showmen. That’s Joel Embiid, always here to entertain us.

All aboard the HMS Brandon Ingram!

The Nuggets are 3-0.

Robin Lopez unwittingly bought hot merch that was originally stolen from Disney World!

John Wall and Bradley Beal showed up to the same Halloween party as different versions of The Joker.

Brian Phillips on the confusing nature of the James Harden-Russell Westbrook reunion. How Westbrook’s speed changes the Rockets.

The Pistons, pretty good so far!

Kings got jobbed on a non-call late but Luke Walton had already (successfully) used his challenge. I’m wondering if coaches should just save their challenges for crunch time in all cases.

Biggest surprises of the first week of action.

Chris Herring doesn’t think the Suns are a fluke.

Kyle Lowry isn’t taking the season off. Making me doubt my Magic No. 3 seed pick, though.

Five sets the Bucks run that you should know.

Ramona Shelburne on the Warriors’ new reality.

Dejounte Murray and Derrick White finally played together, and helped the Spurs win. Smash Brothers? Crash Brothers?
