Joel Embiid qui provoque le public français pendant les Jeux de Paris
Joel Embiid has been targeted by the French public since the first match of these Olympic Games.

Inevitably, over time, he starts to get annoyed and respond.

And this Tuesday, he made his signature gesture, a symbol of vulgarity.

Since the beginning of the Olympic Games, the French public has distinguished itself by its contagious enthusiasm in the stands.

No matter the sport, no matter the time of day, if a tricolor is engaged, he will be greeted with shouts, chants, applause, and anything that could bring a little extra soul to his performance.

Conversely, when they have decided to ruin an athlete’s life, they can also do it brilliantly.

The problem is that in some sports, whistles can have the opposite effect.

This is the case in basketball, where the best players like incandescent atmospheres and hostility.

Dennis Schröder proved this during the match against the French team in the group stage of the basketball tournament.

But this Tuesday, the Team USA pivot seriously had fun with the crowd after a brilliant play.

He doesn’t let people walk all over him, and it’s damn entertaining.
