With the Sixers season over, the hottest spot to watch basketball in Philadelphia these days is a public court at 10th and Lombard.
For the past week, Sixers star Joel Embiid has been appearing randomly at the South Philly spot taking on challengers in pickup games of street ball.
On Monday, Sixers fan Andrew Straitman was walking back to his car from the Acme on South Street around 6 p.m. when he saw about two dozen people watching a pickup basketball game. He walked up to see what it was, and was able to capture video of Embiid bouncing a basketball off another player’s face before laying down a windmill dunk on his head.
