LeBron James on helping Joel Embiid win
por Yetundejones: LeBron James
LeBron James is talking about Joel Embiid on mindthegamepod, saying the big fella has everything except a championship ring. He lists the MVP awards, gold medals, All-Star nods, signature shoes, and financial success as proof that Embiid has carried Philadelphia for roughly 10 to 12 years. Even though Philly wasn't initially in question regarding trades, LeBron sees himself as the final piece needed to help Embiid get over the hump. He also mentioned his relationship with Tyrese Maxey goes beyond basketball, noting how misunderstood players often are while accepting their individuality. The goal is clear: he wants to try to help him get that first one.
