Philadelphia has come alive since the arrival and presence of a particular man.
That man is named Joel Embiid.
As a native of Philadelphia myself, I can assure you of two things. One, Philly is filled with crazy people. Two, we love our sports teams. Hard.
The Philadelphia 76ers are known for having a few rough years recently. As a season ticket holder for the Sixers, let me tell you personally, it hasn't been easy to watch.
Last year, the Sixers ended with their worst record in history at 18-64. This year, they've already surpassed their total wins from last season and they haven't even reached the halfway mark of the NBA season.
Embracing his nickname as "The Process", Embiid is not only being known for his dominance on the court and being the reason the Sixers have re-surged and come alive this year. It turns out he's a pretty funny guy, too.
From trolling Donald Trump to telling the world he wants to get in the NBA All-Star game because he wants a date with a famous celebrity, this man has everyone in the palm of his hands. And we're not complaining.

Injuries have held Embiid back in the past, keeping him out the entire 2015-2016 season and delaying his return this season. However, he's been determined to not let it stop him and come back stronger than ever. And he has.
According to ESPN, Embiid is averaging 20.2 points per game and 7.8 rebounds in his 25.4 minutes per game average.
Imagine what this man will do once he's fully healthy and playing the entire game. The limits are endless.
Philadelphia has a lot to look forward to. We all just have to Trust the Process.
