Did you see pictures of former Kansas basketball star Joel Embiid this week? You never know where the 7-foot tall bundle of joy will appear. He is a regular on social media for his amazing NBA play. As a matter of fact, some of the videos are difficult to believe. Embiid does things for the Philadelphia 76ers unlike anyone else. The fans love it and him.
He’s averaging a double-double through 20 games this season. The 23 points and 11 rebounds are impressive and his antics are wild. That’s why Sports Illustrated honored him with their Rising Star of the Year Award at their Sportsperson of the Year event.
