Does that change how you feel about the loss? Many fans believe Embiid shouldn’t apologize since the real issues lie with Simmons and Doc. Nonetheless, having a player who understands the city’s passion for sports is invaluable. Joel Embiid has shown the ability to recognize problems, take responsibility, and turn things around. He truly embodies the spirit of Philadelphia. As our MVP, other players should learn from his example.
