Joel Embiid happily lifted Kevin Hart in the air after 76ers advanced


Joel Embiid, like all of the 76ers fans at the arena in Philly to see them knock out the Heat in Game 5 on Tuesday night, was super happy to advance to the second round of the playoffs for the franchise's first time since 2012.

Kevin Hart, who was sitting courtside with Meek Mill, got in on the celebrations with Embiid. The 5-foot-4 comedian gave Embiid a hug, and the 7-footer proceeded to lift him up about two feet in the air. I guess the big man got a little too excited.

Embiid and Hart also shared this postgame moment where Embiid signed a ball and kicked it into the stands.

Additionally, Hart was screaming in the tunnel.

The young Sixers are moving forward - trust the process.
