It must either be hard or extremely comical to be Philadelphia 76ers rookie Joel Embiid.
Day after day he continues to find new and inventive ways to entertain himself and, consequently, his Twitter followers. Friday was no different, as he shared a comical take on the Sixers, if they were a rap group … and that rap group were from Detroit.

The picture, prior to being photoshopped, is an image of Detroit-based rap group D12, led by Eminem.
Here is an image from the same photo shoot for comparison.
So, comparing the image, we can see that GM Sam Hinkie, front center, the architect of the Sixers roster, has been given the honor of being Eminem, the leader of D12. Embiid has adopted the persona of Bizarre for himself (far right). Center Nerlens Noel, far left, has taken on the identity of Swift. Head coach Brett Brown (seen back left) is Kuniva. Point guard Michael Carter-Williams, back center, appears to be Proof — Eminem’s closest friend who was killed in 2006.
It’s hard to make out who has been photoshopped in as Kon Artis, seeing as how he’s hidden away, back right, and the face is quite small. It’s likely Arnett Moultrie, thought it’s not easy to tell given the low resolution of the image.
