76ers center Joel Embiid was a topic of discussion during Wednesday’s episode of “Jeopardy!” As a category's highest-value question. The clue was: “Joel Embiid in 2019 won the trademark for this nickname of his that also describes the 76ers’ strategy of improving the team.” Paul, one of the show's contestants, buzzed first and answered, “What is ‘Do a 180?' Host Alex Trebec informed him that he was incorrect and neither of his two other competitors took a shot at answering the question. After the episode the 76ers all-star center caught wind of Paul answer and changed his Twitter name to "Joel 'Do a 180' Embiid."
