‘It's a Blessing to Be an American': 76ers Star Joel Embiid Now U.S. Citizen
“I’ve been here for a long time,” Embiid told The Associated Press on Thursday at training camp at The Citadel. “My son is American. I felt like, I’m living here and it’s a blessing to be an American. So I said, why not?”
“It’s just keep getting better at being a teammate and making everybody else better,” Rivers said. “That’s the next step, dominating. Giving room for James to dominate. Giving room for Tyrese to dominate. Giving room for Tobias to have a great game. I think he’s actually doing that right now.” And yes, Hanlen said, Embiid does have improved sleeping habits. When he’s awake, Embiid puts in the work.
“One of the things we saw was that when teams were fronting him and he wasn’t able to catch the ball in favorable spots, he wasn’t able to dominate the game like he did in the regular season,” Hanlen said. “The biggest thing we wanted to do was find a way to counter that so he could generate his own offense without having to rely on post entries and play calls.”
