Daily News | Joel Embiid accepts MVP trophy in front of Sixers fans at the Wells Fargo Center
The 76ers center hoisted the Michael Jordan Trophy before thanking his parents and teammates, the people that meant the most to him. Then he summoned his son, Arthur, to join him near center court. At that point, Embiid broke down in tears as the sellout crowd chanted “MVP … MVP ... MVP!”
The birth of his son in 2020 also elevated his game. And he got to celebrate that Friday night before Game 3 of the Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Boston Celtics. NBA commissioner Adam Silver presented Embiid with the Jordan trophy, which is awarded to the Most Valuable Player.
