The NBA has always been linked to football in one way or another!
Soccer in the United States has grown to enormous levels, and largely thanks to the arrival of Lionel Messi to Inter Miami. However, soccer is still not even among the 3 most popular sports in the country. The most popular, probably, is the NBA along with the NFL.
Now, an NBA star has spoken out on issues relevant to soccer, and it comes from none other than Joel Embid. The Philadelphia 76ers player spoke about what he believes is the best player of the moment, and to the surprise of many, it is neither Vinicius, nor Mbapppe or Haaland, nor is it Messi!
This is Jude Bellingham: “Man he’s so good, I was already watching him at BVB. I didn’t think he was that good of a scorer. He’s always in right spaces, he’s like R9. It’s hard to explain, I’m watching every Madrid game trying to figure out, how he’s so good.”
Joek Embid supports Real Madrid:
“Reason why Real Madrid is my favorite team? The Galacticos, Zidane is my all time, I’ve always been in love with club’s history. You know there’s something about that jersey, the Santiago Bernabéu, it’s just different. “It makes you so passionate.”
