Joel Embiid’s vacation has included dunking on people, being convinced to go down a giant waterslide

Philadelphia 76ers’ star center Joel Embiid is on vacation at the Atlantis Paradise Resort in the Bahamas, and he’s having quite the time. On Sunday, he posted a video of him playing one-on-one and dunking ferociously on his opponent:

But on Saturday, it was Embiid getting dunked on. (At least metaphorically.) Sixers’ co-owner Michael Rubin posted an Instagram photo of Embiid going down a giant waterslide with a caption saying it took 37 minutes of convincing to get him to try it:

This took us exactly 37 minutes to convince @joelembiid to go down the slide. He only got in and out 6 times before he went!!!!! #LeapOfFaith

He also posted a video of Embiid backing out:

Joel chickened out 😂

But hey, that’s maybe understandable, considering that this slide has a 60-foot drop and “sends you directly into a shark filled aquarium“:

Rubin’s dunking on Embiid didn’t stop there, though, as he also made fun of him taking a much smaller waterslide:

And then literally dunked him in a lazy river:

Almost lost my little bro @joelembiid in the lazy river… When do we tell him all he has to do is stand up?? Then the retaliations began @camillefishel

But hey, Embiid got an impressive dunk of his own in on Sunday. And he did go down the slide in the end! So this certainly hasn’t been all bad for him. Maybe it’s just a case of trusting the vacation process.
