I Love How Joel Embiid Texted Brett Brown In The Middle Of The Night To Declare He's Now 7'2, In Sandals

Brett Brown on 97.5 The Fanatic - “I get a text from Joel a few weeks ago in the middle of the night that said: ‘Guess how tall I am.’ And so I guessed seven-foot. Two minutes later he texts back ‘You’re wrong, I’m 7’2?.’ I text back ‘How do you know this?’ He texts back ‘Doctors. I’m 7’2? in sandals.’ And when you stand next to him, when you’re around big men you understand the difference between seven-foot and seven-two, and he is 7’2?.”

If you listened to our last Barstool Sports & Life Podcast (the one where we “partied” with Joel Embiid and Nerlens Noel), you learned a couple of things. 1) Joel Embiid’s foot is absolutely FINE. 2) Nerlens hates my existence for asking him what John Calipari’s hair smells like, and C) “Jo-Jo” may be the most immature creature straight out of Greek Mythology on Earth. But in a good, harmless way. This kid isn’t going out, getting blitzed and spreading his seed (even though I’d take those genetics). This is his kind of fun. Trolling his boss in the dead of night saying he’s sprouted a few inches. And no, Embiid was not drunk when he sent this text. The best tidbit anyone can offer about this manchild is he absolutely CRUSHES Shirley Temples at the bar. And those drinks better have extra grenadine or someone’s ass is grass.

BONUS: The thought of this (plus Saric) is borderline orgasmic:
