The 2022/23 NBA MVP Joel Embiid is one of the best centers in the league. Born in Yaoundé, Cameroon, Embiid was drafted with the third overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft by the Philadelphia 76ers. However, a foot injury sidelined him for the first two seasons. He made his debut in the 2016-17 season and was named to the All-Rookie First Team.

Joel Embiid is a seven-time NBA All-Star and two-time NBA scoring champion. He also led the Philadelphia 76ers to the Eastern Conference semis in the 2022-23 season, where they lost to the Boston Celtics in seven games. Embiid has led the 76ers to the playoffs for seven consecutive seasons. In 436 games for the franchise, Embiid has averaged 27.9 points, 11.2 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game. He has shot 50.4% from the field, including 34.1% from deep as of September 2024.
