PHILADELPHIA, Pa. – Philadelphia 76ers All-Star Joel Embiid has a new nickname because of a wrong answer on the quiz show ‘Jeopardy.’
The Sixers All-Star center was featured on the quiz show in the first-round category of “Current Sports Nicknames.”
The $1,000 question was, “Joel Embiid in 2019 won the trademark for this nickname that also describes the 76ers’ strategy of improving the team.”
"What is Do A 180?"
