Joel Embiid: “So it was tough, but my goal growing up, I watched the Olympics. It was always about, you know, I want to play, I want to be part of it, so that’s been my dream. So to me, that was what matters the most, you know, achieving my dreams. And, you know, one thing I said, I was, I kind of felt a rush in that decision because I wanted to take as much time as possible. And it didn’t help that, you know, France that put an ultimatum on, you know, when the decision had to be made.”
