Philadelphia 76ers big man Adem Bona found himself at the center of a popcorn-filled spectacle, courtesy of his veteran teammates.
It all started with a simple instruction: “Get off the table.” That command came from none other than Joel Embiid, the Sixers’ MVP and locker room leader. But Bona, entering his sophomore season and perhaps feeling a bit too comfortable, refused to budge. His defiance didn’t go unnoticed and it certainly didn’t go unpunished.
Veteran center Andre Drummond documented the entire saga on TikTok, capturing the moment Bona walked into the locker room only to find one of his car tires sitting in front of his locker. The real kicker? His car, parked outside the facility, had been stuffed to the brim with popcorn, a classic NBA prank taken to the next level.
Drummond summed it up with a smirk:
“This is what happens when you don’t follow instructions.”
Embiid, meanwhile, was seen laughing in the background, clearly enjoying the chaos.

Though Bona technically isn’t a rookie anymore, Drummond made it clear:
“You’re still a rookie until your second season starts.”
That unwritten rule in NBA culture means rookies are expected to show respect, follow orders, and occasionally be the butt of good-natured jokes.
