Embiid and Westbrook in action at the NBA All-Star Game 2018

It is no secret that Russell Westbrook and Joel Embiid hate each other. The two have always gone at each other and in their recent match-up, Westbrook and the Thunder came out on top in Philadelphia.

Things got heated up after a hard foul by Embiid on Westbrook on a fast break. After the game, Westbrook said that he is not cool with Joel Embiid. In the All-Star 2019 draft, Westbrook was chosen by LeBron James and Embiid was chosen by Giannis Antetokounmpo.

However, the LeBron James decided to trade Westbrook to Team Giannis in exchange for Ben Simmons, and Giannis immediately accepted the idea. Two of the most players of their respective NBA teams and arch-rivals on the court will play together on the same team, and imagine Westbrook throwing a lob to Embiid.
