Embiid would be nobody.

Cat fouled out in 12 minutes in the first game for team USA.

Off topic but I can't root for any team with Haliburton AND Embiid on it

I've moved on from my hate for the Pacers. It lasted for a bit and I cheered the Celtics as they beat them, but that's in the past now.

Philly however, and Embiid in particular. That was personal. I still hate them.

Haliburton, Embiid, and Lebron are literally my top 3 hated players.

Team USA is nauseating

His 4th foul came on an elbow to the face of Dwight Powell of the Mavs. Ruled a F1 or whatever FIBA calls it, totally dirty and unnecessary. As a Canadian I was happy he fouled out early before he could hurt any of our players. He is going to injure someone in the Olympics, guaranteed. Imagine if he hurts a USA teammate by flopping the way he ended Danny Green's career.
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.
