Joel Embiid biography — NBA career story, legacy, championships, awards and personal background.
Career timeline, milestones, and place among all-time greats.
He nicknamed himself "The Process" as a rookie, embracing a rebuilding Philadelphia franchise's long-term strategy — then spent a decade making it pay off with some of the most dominant offensive seasons a center has ever produced. Born March 16, 1994, in Yaoundé, Cameroon. Height 7 ft 0 in (213 cm).
Discovered playing volleyball and soccer before switching to basketball as a teenager, he played one season at Kansas (2013–2014) before being drafted 3rd overall by the Philadelphia 76ers in 2014. Foot and knee injuries delayed his NBA debut for two full seasons, but he has played his entire career with the 76ers since finally debuting in 2016–17.
Embiid won the NBA MVP award in 2023 and two scoring titles (2022, 2023) — becoming the first international player ever to lead the league in scoring. A seven-time All-Star, he has made the All-NBA Team five times and the All-Defensive Team three times, and set the 76ers' single-game scoring record with 70 points in the 2023–24 season.
Career averages: roughly 27.6 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game over more than 480 games, all as a starter.
He won an Olympic gold medal with Team USA in 2024. Still an active player with the Philadelphia 76ers.
