Game recognizes game. NBA players took to Twitter after arguably the best Super Bowl of all time, in which the Patriots erased a 25-point deficit to beat the Falcons in overtime.
Most NBA players had the same reaction you did -- amazement at the game, at Tom Brady, at the Falcons' inability to close the deal.
Sixers rookie sensation Joel Embiid took a unique approach, however, suggesting that the game was rigged.
Wow I'm sorry but this is rigged.... Atlanta didn't burn the clock down, didn't run the ball at all. #Rigged

Or the Falcons are just tanking... I don't know
