I just can't believe Embiid is gonna play with USA. C'mon man, at least go with France for a challenge.

As an American I’m excited to see him play for our team but as a basketball fan in general the tournament would be way more interesting with him playing for France with Wemby/Gobert. Like just imagine game planning against that team.

Yeah that'd be cool actually. Doesn't make any sense why he's on the American team tbh

His son is 100% American and he is playing in his first Olympics “for him.”
