Joel Embiid drops 70, breaking Wilt Chamberlain's 76ers record

Joel Embiid had an awesome night in basketball. He scored 70 points in a game for the Philadelphia 76ers, breaking a record previously held by the legendary Wilt Chamberlain. Joel was really happy to be mentioned in the same conversation as Wilt, who did amazing things in basketball.

In the game, Joel did something that has never happened before in NBA history. He not only scored a lot of points but also grabbed 18 rebounds and gave 5 assists. This is a special combination of stats.

Joel mentioned that it was a great night because his teammates were passing him the ball, and he was able to keep scoring. He made 24 shots out of 41 attempts and also did well at the free-throw line.

One impressive moment was when he went all the way down the court and made a layup with defenders trying to stop him. This helped him reach the milestone of 70 points. In total, he played for 36 minutes and had a season-high 18 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, and just 1 turnover. It was a remarkable performance by Joel Embiid.
