According to Joel Embiid, his “life is a movie.” Sure, there have been a few recent and unexpected set changes. But, Joel is entering the second act of his real life story arc, eager to play the hero, eager to make history. You may remember from the opening credits and early character development, that Joel Embiid was born in Yaoundé, Cameroon in 1994. Despite jumping onto the scene amid the golden age of basketball, Joel had early dreams of becoming a professional volleyball player. In fact, he didn’t handle a basketball until age 15. He modeled his game a bit after Hall of Fame center Hakeem Olajuwon, an icon from nearby Nigeria. About a year later, another regional influence—fellow Yaoundé native and then Milwaukee Buck Luc Mbah a Moute—discovered Joel at a basketball camp hosted by the elder Cameroonian.
