In the early hours of yesterday morning, the United States announced the list of men's basketball teams for the Paris Olympic Games, in which the current top stars James, Durant, Curry, and other small cards were all listed, but there was a Cameroonian Frenchman in the American team -- No. 11 Embiid? What is going on, didn't this person apply to join France and join the French stick Gobert? Now he appears in the US team squad, and this person was a Cameroonian citizen at the beginning! Changing nationality is more frequent than changing clothes!
No. 11 Embiid
As last season's regular season MVP and scoring champion, Embiid's strength should not be underestimated, but his behavior will definitely be questioned by the outside world! Because Embiid himself is a Cameroonian, and with the help of Bamot, he has walked out of his current glory on the road of basketball. According to European media reports, in the summer of 2021, Embiid wrote a personal letter to French President Emmanuel Macron, in which he wrote that he wanted to have French nationality and wanted to play for the French team on the international stage, and would not consider playing for other countries in the future!
Wembanyama and Embiid
But now Embiid will wear the No. 11 jersey to play for the United States team, and the United States team and the French team are very likely to meet on the international stage, the president of the French Basketball Association said: The United States team plus Embiid, who can beat you? Many French people also expressed their dissatisfaction with Embiid's behavior, among which Gobert, as the center of the French team, even said that he joined the American team, in fact, he just wanted an Olympic medal, he could not win the championship in the NBA, that's it! Embiid is averaging 34.7 points, 11.0 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game this season!
Gobert vs. Embiid
What do you think of Embiid's frequent change of nationality and his letter to the French president, but in the end he joined other countries without playing a single game for the French team? If the French team and the American team met at the Olympics, would Embiid be booed and afraid to play?
