Embiid, the 2022-23 NBA MVP, is originally from Cameroon but has French and American citizenship. Ahead of the Olympic tournament, Embiid opted for the American team, which will bring the next “Dream Team” to Paris.
“It was a good conversation. I got a call from an unknown number, but I don’t normally answer those calls. Then a text came through and I understood what was happening,” the New York Times quotes Embiid as saying.
It is curious that in the final of the last Olympic Games the French played against the Americans and lost 82:87.
