PHILADELPHIA -- Before Sixers coach Brett Brown had even finished his post-game press conference on Friday night, most of the team’s roster had changed into their winter coats and left Wells Fargo Center, ready for the weekend and Saturday’s day off.
Joel Embiid took his time. He always does, often the last out of the showers, a horde of media waiting on his beck and call. When Embiid is dressed and ready to talk, they swarm. Always.
The Sixers’ trot Embiid in front of the media every game because he's the team's star, but also to capitalize on his braggadocio, his casual confidence and smiling personality.
