On draft night, Joel Embiid gave the Philadelphia 76ers' young core the nickname FEDS. It pulls a letter from the names of Markelle Fultz, Embiid, Dario Sarci and Ben Simmons.
Over the weekend, NBA Finals MVP Kevin Durant got wind of the nickname and took a little shot by saying, "How they got a nickname and ain't played no games together?"
Embiid previously gave himself the nickname "The Process" from Sam Hinkie's master plan to rebuild the Sixers with several losing seasons.
