Warriors Announcers Got Trolled By Joel Embiid’s ’69 Joke’ And Didn’t Even Realize It

During last night’s game between the Golden State Warriors and the Philadelphia 76ers, the Warriors announcers, Jim Barnett and Bob Fitzgerald, were talking about Joel Embiid. Embiid had previously joked about how good of shape he’s currently in. Obviously, and you know what’s coming, Embiid said that he’s at 69% right now.

So Barnett brought up this ‘stat’, even repeated the number for a second time, and never realized that he just got trolled.

 

“I talked to somebody from their staff and they said right now he’s only at 69 percent of his potential being in shape,” Barnett said. “I don’t know how they exactly expressed it, but he’s at a 69 percent level. So he’s not at 100 percent in shape yet. How about that?”
