First, you have to understand Embiid's history to understand why those 13 minutes -- and what he did during them -- were such a big deal. He's been a star-crossed star.。 Embiid is originally from Cameroon. He starred during his first and only season at the University of Kansas, until that season was cut short at the end by a back injury. But still -- seven-footers with Embiid's combination of grace, power, and skill are rare gems. The Sixers picked him third overall in the 2014 NBA Draft. 。But a broken bone in his right foot -- 。

Then, while he was nursing those injuries for the past two years, the 250-pounder apparently learned to shoot three-pointers?
What? Ok, fine -- his toe was on the line. But damn.。Damn。
! That's some deep range for a big ol' dude who can also dunk on people's heads.。 Which brings us to this next clip. Celtics rookie Jaylen Brown -- the high-flyer from Cal who was the third overall pick in the most recent NBA Draft -- decided at one point to drive the lane and elevate for an epic dunk.。Well, it 。

But meanwhile .. 。Ben Simmons poses for a photo on media day.Credit: Mitchell Leff/Getty Images。The Sixers picked Australian phenom Ben Simmons with the first overall pick of the 2016 NBA Draft. Simmons is hailed by many as a transcendent talent, a point guard in a power forward's body.。He and Embiid -- the Australian and the Cameroonian -- made the Sixers a fun and enticing team to track longterm.
