When we finally caught up with Joel Embiid, he was sitting high up in Section 130 at Ball Arena Monday night, enthralled by the halftime show. Gotta admit, the dude looked a lot shorter in person.
“I get a lot of grief for this,” laughed Bryce Margolis of Boulder, flashing his No. 21 76ers jersey proudly in the stands, repping Philly even when Embiid wasn’t. “They just give me the ‘MVP’ (expletive). You know how it goes. As a Philly fan, I think we’re looking for a ring and not the MVP trophy.”
Yeah, well, good luck, pal.
