In a league filled with elite talent and fierce competition, Philadelphia 76ers' Joel Embiid has emerged as one of the most dominant players in the NBA. However, it hasn't always been smooth sailing for the 7-foot center. Ime Udoka, who was an assistant coach with the 76ers last year, saw firsthand that Embiid was not living up to his full potential.
Despite being an All-Star and one of the best big men in the game, Udoka noticed that Embiid lacked consistency and discipline. He observed Embiid spending his time playing video games and indulging in unhealthy habits instead of focusing on his physical condition. Udoka knew that for Embiid to truly excel and carry a franchise, he needed to be in peak shape every night.
