Joel Embiid, the agile giant whose hands make a regulation basketball look like a child's toy, finally played in a real NBA basketball game Tuesday night.。

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 --。

a broken bone in his right foot 。, remember that for later -- sidelined Embiid for his entire rookie season. Then he needed another surgery to fix the problem, and missed his second season as well.。
The upshot: Two years after being plucked third overall, Embiid had yet to show up in an NBA box score.。
But the Vines, man! Just look at the Vines!

Ooooweeeee 。 . 。CARD ID: 98205。
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 。
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. The fact that Embiid would finally be healthy enough to play for the first time in Simmons' first NBA season even lent it all a certain tinge of cosmic synergy.。But, well, there's no easy way of saying this -- Simmons broke a bone in 。But, well, there's no easy way of saying this -- Simmons broke a bone in 。his 。right foot last week. It's not the same exact injury Embiid suffered, but already there is speculation Simmons could miss his entire rookie season.
