Den svære, kule, hamburger-spisende mannen fra Philadelphia 76ers er cover-stjernen til det kommende NBA-sim NBA Live 19 fra EA Sports. Kunngjøringen kom i natt, og her i Gamereactor er vi veldig fornøyd med valget. Joel Embiid har hatt en strålende 17/18-sesong og har blitt sitert hundrevis av ganger for sitt "Trust the Process"-motto, som har definert spillestilen og livssynet hans. I et nylig intervju med NBC sa han følgende:
"I went through two surgeries, lost my brother, thought about some stuff I shouldn't have thought about, so that's my own process. The process of going through rehab and finally getting back on the court and getting the chance to finally play in the league, that's my process."
Han sa også dette om å bli utvalgt til coveret:
"It's great, it's amazing. I'm thankful for this opportunity, especially as a basketball player. You work so hard because you have goals in life, you want to be in the Hall of Fame but also, being on the cover of a video game is something I've always dreamed of and I'm happy to be in this position."
