The NBA's Philadelphia 76er's Center Joel Embid is vivacious, and a bit of a trash talker but as his mantra goes “Trust the Process” he backs his talking up with his game.
Embid is one of the most exciting players in recent times to take to the court in the NBA who is entertaining both on and off the court. Hailing from Cameroon courtesy of Luc Mbah Moute a mentor of his who helped to introduce him to the game, Embid’s popularity has grown in leaps and bounds to catapult him into becoming a star of global proportion that is set to take the popularity of the NBA to an even higher height. He will be a first time All Star and a Starter at this year’s NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles.
He wants to be known as the best big man that has ever played the game. However, in the era of the multi-dimensional big men in the league, players like Giannis Antetokounmpo and
Kristaps Porzingis will have a say on how that pans out for him. Embid has shown flashes that his dream to be the best big man in the league will only be a matter of time before it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
