NBA Star Joel Embiid Takes on Hot Ones’ Spicy Wing Challenge


(PG-13: language) In the latest episode of First We Feast’s “Hot Ones” series, host Sean Evans chats with the Philadelphia 76ers’ star center Joel Embiid as they both suffer through ten progressively spicy hot sauce-covered chicken wings.

“Joel Embiid is an NBA All Star, a fan favorite in Philadelphia, and proud owner of some of the most savage Twitter fingers in professional sports. But how is he with hot food? Find out as the 76ers big man follows in the path of Kevin Love and Kevin Durant to become the third hoops star to take on the wings of death. As he tries to swat off the Scovilles, Embiid talks about Meek Mill’s return to Philly during the Playoffs, meeting Michael Jordan, and why he loves dunking on Average Joes on the playground. Trust the Process!”
