Joel Embiid has proved his mettle in the most competitive basketball league in the world, earning six NBA All-Star appearances and taking home hardware as the 2023 NBA MVP. However, the Cameroonian native, who is fluent in English, French and Basaa (a Bantu dialect spoken in Cameroon), has yet to suit up at the international level. It appears that may be about to change with the 2024 Olympics approaching.
At Sixers media day on Monday, Embiid said his goal is to play in those Olympics, taking place in Paris. Joel has family in France and has previously obtained French nationality.
