Okay, I’ll admit it, I cried during Joel Embiid’s MVP speech.
It’s been a long road for the Cameroonian baller. Originally discovered by Luc Mbah a Moute, Embiid moved to the states attending prep schools until heading to Kansas to play with the Jayhawks.
Drafted third overall in 2014, Embiid has become the cornerstone of the Philadelphia 76ers and the shining remnant of “The Process.”
As a dad, I get emotional when other dads are emotional about their kids. so Embiid’s impassioned speech magnified by his son joining him tugged on my heartstrings.
