Joel Embiid says he wants to play with Ben Simmons for the rest of his career

Joel Embiid finally made his first appearance on The Rights To Ricky Sanchez podcast, and it didn’t disappoint.

Spike Eskin asked Embiid one question about Ben Simmons’ shooting, and Embiid credited Simmons for starting to take jumpers (he’s been taking far more in practice since the Philadelphia 76ers arrived in Orlando and shot 1-of-2 from three in the Sixers’ first scrimmage) and talked about how much he loves playing with his co-star:

“I’m so happy that he finally now understands [how to improve spacing] and I think that’s what it takes for us to win a championship.
