After today, Embiid is 7-2 vs Jokic in his career.

Death
Taxes
Nikola Jokic losing to Joel Embiid


imagine if Embiid actually played for his national team Cameroon. How bad would Serbia stomp them? Yea of course Embiid needs to be carried to look good.

Robert Horry has 7 championships. I guess he's better than Jordan and LeBron, amiright?

The logic


Shit really? Horry has 7 more 2nd round advancements than Embiid?

That’s kinda embarrassing for Embiid lol

Embiid is a U.S. citizen and has been for years now. He has lived in the states now for more than half of his life (all of his adult life). Why would he be obligated to play for Cameroon? Dude hasn't lived there since he was a kid lol

Did people complain when Hakeem played for team USA in 1996 and won gold? He was born in Nigeria and didn't become a U.S. citizen until 1993.

thats your only argument. Hakeem. Who gives a shit about Hakeem. Embiid is from Cameroon. bros english is so fucking skewed too. A person who plays for a country they are not born in has no honor. And its a joke for the national team to take in such players. USA is already the strongest team in the world. Why tf do they need help from foreign players to get better. Ah yes because they want it easy. Disgrace for anyone to take this team serious.

So now a player must be born in that country to be eligible to play for them?

Embiid's years as a child means he must play for that Country apparently. Forget the country that gave him this life and allowed him to become wealthy and provide generational wealth. Forget the fact that he's a U.S. citizen and his son was born here and this is where he has been living for 15 years.

Your logic makes no sense. He is as much of a U.S. citizen as you are.

All I want to say is, America is the land of Immigrants. I don’t see a problem with Embiid, post being naturalized, playing for a country he lives & breathes in & declared allegiance to.

Nobody from America was original from here. We all became Americans whether it was from our parents coming here for a better life or us ourselves.

There’s No Hour Long Highlights or 30 point 8 reb 5 Asists 75 game season Averages from Robert Horry.

Also Horry did not Iso single handily won game 5 Finals Close out game for the Championship like Tatum 31 point 10 Assists shutting the Door. B)
