A video of Joel Embiid making a lewd gesture at veteran teammates LeBron James and Kevin Durant surfaced from Paris, causing some to question the team’s camaraderie.

 

Look at Embiid’s piercing look toward KD and LeBronThere should be no internal strife among Team USA’s key players right now, since the team is in the quarterfinals and only three victories away from winning the 2024 Olympic gold medal.”Y’all gotta peep Embiid’s energy,” narrated Sergio Donte of TikTok, who was a member of the Olympic squad journeying together in France. “You don’t have to be that put out. My name is Bron, dude.

“And then watch his KD skills,” he went on to say. He’s giving me the evil eye. In other words, Embiid, what’s wrong?

 

What had gotten into Embiid?There were a lot of conspiracy theories in the TikTok comments regarding what made Embiid look so unhappy. His playing time was a source of irritation, and “his knees just hurt” was among the comments. When the basketball team befriended the American table tennis team, he may not have been welcomed.

 

The fact that his teammates seemed so “fried” after imbibing on their off day could have been another explanation. The third important veteran leader on the squad, Stephen Curry, also appeared to notice KD and LeBron’s giggling. It was very similar to the time LeBron had a few too many glasses of wine during a volleyball tournament and performed a “dad dance” that became famous online.We can only hope that these two grown men NBA stars were just having a little fun in public when they interacted. On the other hand, the chemistry on this year’s Dream Team could start to fall apart at any moment due to the egos and talents involved.
