Joel Embiid Complicated Legacy in Philly

Joel Embiid Complicated Legacy: Let's talk about it. Philadelphia loves its sports heroes. They may be the most passionate fan base in America. But they will turn on you if you don't perform. So let's talk about Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid. He is a great, great player. As a matter of fact, he has an MVP trophy. But did you know, in the fifty-plus years the NBA has been handing out Most Valuable Player trophies, only one winner has never made in to a Conference Final. You guessed it - Joel Embiid.

Certainly, basketball is a team sport. One player cannot do everything by himself. But that is where Embiid's legacy gets complicated. 76ers fans have had to endure years of "trust the process!" Trust the Process is code for "sit quietly while we tank year after year and collect talented first round draft picks and create a Super Team." That was followed by the franchise asking the fan base to be patient while their collection of players mature into real NBA players. Then it became about surrounding Embiid with the right kind of teammates, not named Ben Simmons and the right coaches not named Doc Rivers.

The Joel Embiid Complicated Legacy talk continues: Because the 76ers are on the verge of getting bounced by the Knicks in the playoffs and there are rumblings about the team moving on from Embiid. There is no doubt that Embiid gives his all every season. He has played hurt and comes back from injuries early in order to play. But he does get hurt quite a bit. It seems he wears down each grueling NBA season.

We like Embiid. He has been fun to watch since he came into the league in 2014. We think he wants to win, badly. Standing at 7 feet tall, his dominance is undeniable. His blend of size, skill, and charisma captivated fans and opponents alike, earning him the nickname "The Process" as a nod to the team's rebuilding phase.

We also like the fact that he gives honest opinions during interviews which is rare among today's athletes. If the 76ers come up short again this season, it will be interesting to see what the team does about its roster. That's why we think -Joel Embiid Complicated Legacy is a proper headline for today and we will discuss his legacy on Craig Shemon and Company on ESPN Southwest Florida.

Now this is creative. I've seen crazy garnishes for Bloody Mary's but not too many other cocktails. Until now. This will get and keep your guests talking.

How cute are these guys. Taco's are not just savory. With a little skill, you can turn wafer cookies into a taco garnish for cupcakes or any range of desserts. Think ice cream, cakes or even solo.

These are so festive and who knew so easy to make. Paper flowers are a traditional party decor in Mexico. They are sol colorful and can brighten up any room or table.

I love this idea for a creative serving platter. Now that I think about it, you could do the same thing with a wide brimmed beach hat for a brunch or similar party.

Street corn is so good. This seems like a less messy way to enjoy the festive food. You could even use small ramekins to cut down on waste.
