What reason does Joel Embiid have to believe in the Philadelphia 76ers?

Joel Embiid's journey to NBA superstar is practically unfathomable. He first played basketball at the age of 15 in 2010, when countryman Luc Mbah a Moute discovered him at a camp in Cameroon. Embiid became the No. 3 overall pick in the NBA Draft inside of four years and the league's Most Valuable Player by age 29.

Unfortunately, Embiid's NBA journey on the Philadelphia 76ers has been every bit as incomprehensible. From The Process to James Harden's active trade request, the Sixers have given Embiid few reasons to believe they can construct a championship roster around him and every reason to think more chaos lurks around the corner.
