I remember around this time of year in 2014 we were all sharing Andrew Wiggins clips. Feels like yesterday.

Now nearly a decade later our fruit of Sam's labor is the league MVP.

I'm 32 now and don't get as excited for this kinda stuff as I did as a kid, but definitely trying to enjoy this.

Winning a title is way more attractive in my eye, but not gonna discount this great achievement. First Sixer to do so in 22 years.

Congrats, Joel.

Hey guys,

Just wanted to take a few seconds to write this post.

I'm very happy for Joel.

This guy was not even supposed to be playing after all the injuries and what he went through in his first couple of years.

To overcome all of that and be a future HOF player is no joke... it takes a lot of guts, sweat and tears.

Cheers from a brazilian Warriors fan.

Assists are nice on paper but being better and playing defense are the way to go

Congrats Joel Hans Embiid! Well deserved! I hope this is only the first of your accolades and trophies. Let's get that chip now!

Thank you Sam Hinkie for giving us the hope. You will never be forgotten.

Why am I laughing uncontrollably in this thread? I miss them playing the game of zones in inside the NBA.

Anyways, congrats to Jo. Way past due
