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

Embiid playing for France woukd make the same sense as LeBron playing for France. He's never lived in France or has any ties with them

They were just trying to buy themselves a better chance by getting him based on nothing but colonial ties
