En parlant de team USA, Embiid en roue libre totale sur son choix de sélection. Honnêtement il mérite de se faire huer comme jamais dans les salles françaises. Je ne sais pas si ce sera le cas. https://basketnews.com/news-209398-.html "Embiid cited international relations between France and Cameroon and the underlying dissatisfaction local people have toward France as the main reasons why he rejected playing for France, as he feared locals would retaliate against his family if he chose France." "I kind of felt rushed in that decision because I wanted to take as much time as possible. It didn't help that France put an ultimatum on when the decision had to be made. I saw it on Twitter, and I was like, 'Woah, where did it come from?' From the conversations that I had with the US, it was just, 'Take as much time as you need, there's no rush. We'd love to have you but it's ok if you make another decision.' When you have someone else putting pressure on you, it may seem like, 'Oh, you have to make a decision.' But one thing that was always known was that Cameroon was the first choice. If they qualify, I'm playing for my home country because that's my dream - to play in the Olympics. I had the opportunity to talk with the French President [Emmanuel Macron] about what was going on. I told him - one thing that was kind of bothering me a lot was the relationship between France and Cameroon, and African countries in general. Even right now, there are a lot of things going on there, there's a lot of pushback of basically kicking out the French because there have been so many years of oppression. That was my mindset because I knew it would be hard. With my family being in Cameroon, I don't want to put them through any of that stuff. I want them to be safe, and the relationship between France and Cameroon or Africa in general is just not good." Pour info, l'ultimatum dont il parle c'est parce qe l'équipe ne peut avoir qu'un joueur naturalisé. Un autre joueur était dans le pipe, finalement il n'a pas pu l'avoir à cause d'Embiid. Je pourrais prendre chaque phrase de son speech et le disséquer ligne par ligne pour dire à quel point il est juste full of shit. Bref, un pauvre mec.
