Recently, the performance of Joel Embiid, the core center of the NBA Philadelphia 76ers, at the Paris Olympics has caused widespread controversy. Embiid expressed his feelings in front of the camera, saying that his experience in the international arena was far from his expectations and that he was even nicknamed a "funny clown" by some viewers because of his frequent "controversial falls". At the closing of the Olympics, Embiid made a shocking decision in the basketball world - he is eager to represent his home country Cameroon in future Olympics.

This decision quickly caused a stir among the management of the US men's basketball team. According to the established rules of the US men's basketball team, adult players who want to give up their qualifications to represent the United States will face many obstacles, especially the suffocating "veto power", which is like an invisible wall between players pursuing their personal dreams and national honor. Embiid was deeply dissatisfied with this. In an interview, he said firmly: "I would rather give up the Olympic gold medal that symbolizes the highest honor than be bound to play for the US men's basketball team. This is not only because my experience there was not what I wanted, but also because I felt unprecedented restraint and humiliation. My freedom has been restricted, which makes me unbearable. I am afraid that I would rather not have this Olympic gold medal, and I will leave the US men's basketball team!"
