Who has the better step-back move? James Harden? Joel Embiid? The Sixers center weighs in.

MINNEAPOLIS — Joel Embiid corrected a media member who stated at Friday’s shootaround that James Harden taught him the step-back jumper.

“I was already doing that step back since last year,” Embiid said. “So I already had that, but I just wanted to use it since he got here. So I wanted to use it even more.”

Harden will make his Sixers debut Friday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves after being acquired via a trade from the Brooklyn Nets on Feb. 10.
