Nothing To See Here Other Than Joel Embiid Crushing Shirley Temples At A College Bar Back In Kansas

See, this is one of the million things I love about Joel Embiid. In this day and age you have to worry about your young athletes in the spotlight. Your Johnny Manziel’s going batshit, Antonio Cromartie’s pollinating their seed across the land. And you know what this 22-year-old millionaire enjoys doing when visiting a local bar at his college campus? Sitting down like a polite gentleman and enjoying crisp, non-alcoholic Shirley Temple. The type of drink that’s utterly harmless unless you’re Barstool Nate, chug 3 of them, then pretend you’re trashed cause you’re that cool. It still bothers me we broke Embiid loving Shirley Temples a few years back when we hung out with him at his apartment (SUBSCRIBE AND LISTEN ON ITUNES HERE” target=”_blank”>must listen here), but I digress. This just proves that with Jo-Jo, we have nothing to worry about. Well, other than being petrified of him breaking his shit and never playing a single NBA minute, but off the court this kid is A-OK. In fact, you have to be excited just how charismatic and likable this crazy Cameroonian can be. IF this man can stay healthy, expect him to go down as one of the great personalities in the game. I’m talking right up there with his fellow African mate Dikembe Mutumbo, minus the “Who Wants To Sex Mutombo?” part. Cookie Monster 2.0. All that matters is this freak of nature gets healthy so we can see his 7+ft beast of a body dominate the Sixers into dozens of championships.

Oh, and Brett Brown said Embiid will be playing in the Sixers first preseason game. Thank Christ, because there’s only so much abuse this 5’5 white guy can take from Jo-Jo before being forced to retire from life.

CUE IT.
