Joel Embiid vs Lakers, Nov 15
Philly basketball fans must be happy - Villanova 2 years ago now the 76ers going strong.

Does he play for the Cameroon national team?
Gotta love that the international flavour of the NBA and how the talented up and comers aren't American
well done Joel, now can you tell us how we are meant to pronounce your name

Watching Embiid is like watching some custom player on a video game. He's ridiculous
Funny that since Embiid plays himself on NBA2K!

The move at 5:08 made me feel things I haven't felt in a while

We've definitely entered the next "2003 Draft" phase of the NBA, and interestingly these guys are all hybrid bigs. I hope they stay healthy.

Embiid
Simmons
Giannis
KAT
Porzingis
I can't recall a time where there were this many legit superstars in the making all together, all 22 or under

Bogey with his most productive game of the year! I might have written him off too early.

Lonzo needs to start that jumper back from scratch. Maybe try with the offhand or something.
Simmons meanwhile is basically doing everything that the Lakers thought Lonzo would do.

Holy Moses

I love how he taunted the Clippers bigs the other night. Adds entertainment value on top of his superior play!
Did Lonzo play poorly again?

Just came across this from the FIBA Asia Championships that has just commenced:
Four Qatari players purposely fouled out in their Asian Championship opener yesterday, forcing basketball officials to halt the game.
Referees were forced to stop match between Qatar and Uzbekistan, when four of the five Qatari players purposely fouled out in protest of a FIBA ruling.
The four players committed five personal fouls each within the first six minutes of the match, prompting referees to disqualify them and hand Uzbekistan a 27-12 win.
Qatari coach Ali Fakhroo said the fouls were committed in protest of an International Basketball Federation (FIBA) ruling making five of the team's 11 players ineligible for the championships due to their dual nationality.
And apparently, the Qatari team has vowed to do it again today against Iran! Wow!
Never heard of this happening before at any level...
