In today’s discussion on “NBA Today,” a renowned journalist, Windhorst (also known as “Wind”), delved into the topic of Joel Embiid representing the USA in basketball.
He stated:
“There are reasons behind Joel Embiid’s decision to play for the USA. He moved to the United States after turning 16, and he wishes to win gold for his adopted country. Why can’t people respect his choice?”
“Joel Embiid has the capability to help the team secure a gold medal. It was a challenging task for the USA team’s leader, Grant Hill, to persuade him to participate. The reason the NBA is seeking naturalized players is due to a shortage of talented native centers. Look at the outstanding centers in the league; they all come from foreign backgrounds.”
