Idk, Cameroon I get, you were born there, US 2nd I get you were raised here you live here, but fucking France? He wasn’t born there, to my knowledge he didn’t even live there/raised there. Why would he play there? Because it’s the country who colonized your home country? LOLLLL AIGHT? France L.

Yeah, intelligent by Embiid to KD his way to the most winningest team of all time.

Snake move, but intelligent.


And then help carry em to a win over Jokic in the semi's 😎

Yes. He has lived in the U.S. longer than anywhere else.

The argument against him playing for team USA is...silly.

He's LITERALLY an American Citizen....

Being born in another country doesn't mean shit. He's a U.S. citizen and he has lived here for the majority if his life. His entire adulthood in the U.S. as well. The Olympics have never required you to be born in the Country that you're representing.

This whole argument against him is silly. Nobody said shit about Hakeem when he played for USA in 1996 and won gold.

Not happening.

Embiid averages 70 PPG, 18 RPG, and 5 APG in his career vs Wemby.

Yes, you read that correctly. 😁

Yeah you’re very incorrect. Would not call that raised at all. Clearly raised in Africa.
