One of the NBA’s best centers, Joel Embiid (28), officially received French citizenship and a passport, so he will be able to defend the colors of that country.
It is believed that the Philadelphia basketball player will participate in the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024.
Embiid, who was born in the capital of Cameroon, Yaoundé, received French citizenship on the basis that his parents had become French citizens even earlier.
Last season, he was one of the candidates for the MVP award, which Nikola Jokic took “from under his nose”.
It is interesting that he asked for admission back in 2016, but was then rejected by other teammates.
