Despite his dominance on the basketball court, reigning NBA MVP Joel Embiid admitted to having had dreams of becoming a soccer player.
The Philadelphia 76ers star told Men In Blazers of his love for the beautiful game in comparison to basketball.
'I'd rather be a football [soccer] player than a basketball player,' Embiid said. 'That's how much I love it. Football to me is like there's nothing close to a bigger sport in the world, nothing close to it. I like the concept of the team. In basketball, if you have two good players you can win but in football, the team has to be together.
