NBA:
The Philadelphia 76’ers are on fire. The team has moved up to 2nd place in the Eastern Conference behind the Boston Celtics with a record of 32 wins and 17 losses.
Joel Embiid and James Harden both made the 2023 NBA All Star Team. How is it possible that Joel Embiid did not make the starting team? Joel is one of the most dominant, if not THE most dominant player in the NBA.
In 13 games Embiid averaged 35 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 assists, while knocking down 55 percent of field goals and 42 percent of his threes. His performance in December earned him the right to be named Eastern Conference Player of The Month!!!
