Joel Embiid's journey from Cameroon to becoming one of the most dominant big men in the NBA is a story of hard work, determination, and perseverance. Born in Yaoundé, Cameroon, Embiid started playing basketball at a young age. He quickly showed a natural talent for the game, and by the time he was a teenager, he was one of the top prospects in Africa.
Embiid's international success led him to the United States, where he played college basketball for the Kansas Jayhawks. In his one season with the Jayhawks, Embiid averaged 11.2 points and 8.1 rebounds per game, and he was named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year.
Embiid's NBA Career
Embiid was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers with the third overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft. However, his NBA debut was delayed due to a foot injury. He finally made his debut in the 2016-17 season, and he quickly established himself as one of the most dominant big men in the league.
In his rookie season, Embiid averaged 20.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks per game. He was named to the All-Rookie First Team, and he finished second in Rookie of the Year voting.
Embiid has continued to improve in his subsequent seasons, and he is now one of the most feared players in the NBA. In the 2020-21 season, he averaged 28.5 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per game. He was named to the All-NBA First Team, and he finished second in MVP voting.
Embiid is a versatile player who can score from anywhere on the court. He is also a strong rebounder and defender. He is one of the most complete players in the NBA, and he is a key part of the 76ers' success.
Embiid's Impact on the Game
Embiid has had a major impact on the game of basketball. He is one of the few players in the league who can dominate on both ends of the court. He is a scoring machine, a rebounding machine, and a defensive force.
Embiid's success has helped to change the way that teams think about big men. In the past, big men were often seen as slow and plodding. However, Embiid has shown that big men can be just as athletic and dynamic as guards.
Embiid's success has also inspired a new generation of big men. He has shown that it is possible to be a dominant big man in the modern NBA. He is a role model for young players who dream of playing in the NBA.
