Have you ever imagined living in a world where Philadelphia Sixer Joel Embiid wasn’t one of the most dominant players in the NBA?
That reality almost existed, if not for former Philadelphia Sixer Luc Mbah a Moute.
Yes, you read that right.
Speaking with Golden State Warrior Draymond Green on his podcast, The Draymond Green Show, Embiid conjured up memories of being a teenager and having his eyes set on playing a sport other than basketball.
“At around 16 years old, I was about to actually go to France to try to become a professional volleyball player, until Luc Mbah a Moute came back to Cameroon and had a camp,” Embiid said.
