Joel Embiid

Didn't touch a basketball until he was 15 years old — he originally played soccer and wanted to be a professional volleyball player.

His younger brother Arthur passed away tragically, and Joel has his name tattooed on his back.

Became a French citizen and chose to represent France in international basketball, leading them in the 2024 Olympics.

Named himself "The Process" as a nod to the 76ers' controversial rebuilding strategy known as "Trust the Process."
