Summary
And, combined with a handful of other tales, the biggest proof yet that the NBA’s present, and almost certainly its future, is resoundingly international.Embiid, who helped the Philadelphia 76ers to the Eastern Conference semifinals despite a fractured orbital bone, would have been in the All-NBA First Team if the only player to get more MVP votes than him hadn’t also been a center."Embiid, who was by everyone's estimation one of the three best players in the league this year, did not make the (first team)," FOX NBA Analyst Chris Broussard said on "First Things First." "It's ridiculous. Well, it is a big world out there, basketball is wildly popular, and the willingness and ability to identify and coach up young talent is real and present in far more places than before.The NBA has tried for years to expand its reach and promote excellence around the world, the camp attended by Embiid being a prime example.
