Ben Simmons remains the NBA’s odds-on favorite to win Rookie of the Year, and he would love to make good on that distinction. But not for reasons you would assume.

Joel Embiid wasted little time in using the Philadelphia 76ers’ victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday night to his advantage. On the heels of his team’s 108-97 deconstruction of the reigning Eastern Conference champs, the expert-Instagrammer subtly began his public courtship of LeBron James: [tweet https://twitter.com/JoelEmbiid/status/969435565472010240] Is this tampering?
