Luke. Richard. Bamot, the 37th overall pick in the second round in '08, was selected by the Bucks.

He was never a high-profile star, and even when he played in the NCAA, the stats weren't that explosive.

In 2008, and Derek. Ross, Russell. Westbrook, Kevin. Compared to these shining names such as Lefou, he is really ordinary, and he is drowned in a long rookie list.

Although he made it to the NBA, he is still not well known.

His poor offensive ability has left him with little attention, and his team's poor results have made him not like Tony. Allen can make a name for himself in the playoffs on defense.

In this way, Bamot wandered and drifted in the Union. He moved from team to team, and many of his fans forgot about him the day after he left.

After all, not all players in the NBA are superstars. The scenery at the top of the pyramid is good, but it also has to be set off by ordinary players.

And Bamot is one of these ordinary players.

If he hadn't entered the Clippers this year and had a large market with high exposure in Los Angeles, Bamot might have been even less well-known.

However, it is such an unknown blue-collar worker in the league, in his country of Cameroon, who is an out-and-out basketball hero.

"I just want to be a role model and show Cameroonian children that they can have more options." That's what Bamot said in an interview, and that's what his landing in the NBA means positively for Cameroon.

Cameroon is a unitary republic located in west-central Africa, and its economy is good, but there are many areas that are relatively backward. Many of Bamot's childhood playmates dropped out of school to work on farms for a dollar a day.

Simply because he had no money for medicine and food, Bamot even witnessed the death of his childhood friend.

Therefore, after entering the NBA, Bamot also used his influence and financial resources to vigorously develop Cameroon's basketball.

He goes home every summer to run basketball camps, hoping to discover more talented kids.

He wants to make Cameroonian children fall in love with basketball, to make them believe that they have the potential, to try to do something extraordinary.

This is Bamot, an ordinary character in the NBA, but in his country, a hero in everyone's mind.

Thanks to his efforts, there are now two Cameroonian players in the league who play in the NBA in addition to him.

Moreover, more and more people have changed their lives and destiny because of basketball.

He has met countless talented Cameroonian kids, many of whom have gone on to become true pros even if they can't play in the NBA.

However, among the many children, the most impressive thing for Bamot was the child he met five years ago who was going to play volleyball in France.

In June 2011, Bamot, who was not yet 30 years old at the time, went home to run basketball camp.

In the training camp, a thin child catches Bamot's eye.

He's very physical, fast-breaking, changing direction, turning around in one go. He rushed to the basket and burst dunk, and the rim shook violently.

On top of that, the kid grew to 2.07 meters at just 17 years old. And the most shocking moment for Bamot was when he asked the camp coach how long the kid had been playing basketball, the coach scratched his head in embarrassment.

"It's only 6 months, of which 3 months are the formal training of the system."

"What!? What's his name? "Bamot was shocked that he was able to do this in just three months of formal training. If he is sent to more professional training, he will not be allowed to take off?

After that, Bamot got a name that he will remember for the rest of his life, "His name is Joel. Embiid. ”

So 2 months after the end of the training camp, Bamot arranged for Embiid to go to the United States.

Embiid would just say "good morning" at that time, and he didn't even know if the NCAA was a dish or something else.

But with Bamot's help, Embiid quickly adapted here. He played every day, trained, watched Olajuwon's videos and threw up, and then continued to train.

After high school, Embiid and Bamot negotiated an NCAA affair, and eventually Embiid got a foothold in Kansas.

After entering college, Embiid also had a time of loss in the face of various talents, and he once found Bamot disappointed and confided, "I don't think I belong here at all." ”

It's like his father's roar when he got up and slapped the table when he knew he was going to play basketball in the United States, "No one is going to play basketball in Cameroon!" ”

However, Bamot just told him, "Don't talk nonsense, you're going to get drafted with the first pick in the first round." ”

At the time, Embiid just smiled wryly. He's not a kid anymore, he knows it's just a lie that Bamot told to comfort himself.

Indeed, Bamot was lying to him.

The champion show in 2014 is Andrew Brown, who is known as another "chosen son". Wiggins.

But Embiid was also drafted by the 76ers with the third pick, and at that moment, Embiid really believed that he could play basketball.

But in fact, if it weren't for the stress fracture of his right foot in college, God knows if Embiid would have really become the top pick......

Although he entered the league as a tanhua, Embiid did not have smooth sailing after entering the NBA. To be exact, it's unlucky.

Because of injuries in college, Embiid, like Griffin in '09, was directly reimbursed for his rookie season.

In the summer of '15, Embiid underwent another scaphoid graft in his foot, and his recovery is expected to be 5 to 8 months. This means that Embiid has not played a game in the NBA for two consecutive seasons......

Many people have forgotten about this guy and forgotten about this 14-year-old flower show. Mention Joel. Embiid, even the most senior NBA fan, will be stunned for a second, and then look confused, "This name is so familiar, but I just can't remember who it is." ”

No one expects more from Embiid, and no one thinks that a man who hasn't played an official game for two years in a row can survive in the NBA.

Even when the 76ers officially announced Embiid's imminent comeback this summer, no one cared at all.

But Embiid lived up to the expectations of Bamot and the 76ers, and this guy who attracted Bamot's attention after only 3 months of formal training began to kill like a beast that had been hungry for days!

On October 26, 2016, Embiid made his NBA debut for the 76ers and made his NBA debut after a two-year hiatus.

He started 22 minutes and scored 20 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks.

A few days later, on November 1, in the 76ers' home game against the Magic, Embiid played only 25 minutes and put up an all-around performance of 18 points, 10 rebounds, 4 blocks and 3 assists!

This made Embiid the first player on the 76ers to score at least 18 points, 10 rebounds and 4 blocks in the 83-84 season when he played no more than 25 minutes!

On Nov. 5, Embiid continued to shine. He played 25 minutes against the Cavaliers, shooting 7-of-13, including 4-of-4 from three-point range, and finishing with 22 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 blocks!

4 three-pointers hit, also set a new career high!

The scariest thing about Embiid is that his playing time is completely disproportionate to his stats. He is often able to come up with quite exaggerated figures in a very limited amount of time!

In this era of withering centers, Embiid's birth shocked the whole world.

His projection, speed, ball handling, and technique are perfectly suited to the requirements of a center in modern basketball!

Now, Embiid's saga has officially begun. People have gone from disdain at the beginning to now discussing where the ceiling of this guy is.

Thinking back to what Embiid has been through, Bamot is very proud. As it turned out, he didn't look away.

Of course, he knows Embiid can do better, and he can attract more people's attention.

Now, all Embiid needs is a chance, and a strong enough opponent!

The Memphis Grizzlies and Link, seem to be the best candidates and springboards.

Bamot believes that as long as Embiid can play at a level against the Grizzlies, his popularity will continue to soar!

It can even be said that the game against the Grizzlies is likely to be a turning point in Embiid's career and the starting point of his "one-goal fame".

If Embiid can win, then the next day, basketball fans around the world will know about Jon. Embiid by name!

The strength of Link and the Grizzlies, Bamot knows better than anyone. After all, he and the Clippers have just been bloodbathed.

But for Embiid, Bamot is confident.

It's as if he was adamant that Embiid would be drafted with the first pick in the first round.

That guy is a real genius.

On Nov. 23, the 76ers will host the Grizzlies.

And before that, Embiid has a long time to prepare.

Therefore, in recent times, in addition to paying attention to Embiid, Bamot has also paid special attention to the condition of the Grizzlies.

To Bamot's shock, the Grizzlies continued to win multiple games after beating the Trail Blazers on Nov. 7, and their winning streak almost tied the entire league.

The Grizzlies' excellent form is quite bad for the 76ers.

But just before the Grizzlies vs. 76ers game began, Bamot got good news.

Grizzlies main center Mark. Gasol has been suspended.
