Joel Embiid is having a turbulent Olympic Games at the moment, with a very hostile French public against him.

The other players have obviously noticed this and many have wanted to support him, including LeBron James himself.

While Team USA is quietly managing its tournament so far, without a single defeat, Steve Kerr’s men have to deal with a sometimes hostile public.

At least against Joel Embiid. His decision to join the American armada rather than France has not been forgotten, even if the main player concerned is not too bothered by all that.

LeBron supports Joel Embiid

On the contrary, it is an additional motivation for the number 11 of Team USA, eager to respond on the field with his partners.

The good news for him is that he can count on the support of his teammates, like LeBon James.

Very critical of the French team, the King supported Embiid in this ordeal.

LeBron James: “We’re all on Joel Embiid’s side. Jo’ is in a good mood, we all are, and as teammates, we give him the support he needs on the court and off the court if necessary.”

Embiid can therefore count on his partners if these whistles ever come to disturb him.

This is not at all the case for the moment, especially since the pivot fully assumes his decision to join Team USA, as he explained during the weekend.

Another player to support Embiid in this adventure: Anthony Edwards, even if the Wolves player does not understand everything about it.

Anthony Edwards: “I love (the booing)… I don’t understand what’s going on, so I’m all in.”

The booing of Joel Embiid? Team USA is having fun with it, especially since the center is completely unbothered by it.

But if that’s the case, the Sixers player will have the support of LeBron James and the others for the rest of the tournament.
