He mentioned that he will be playing for Cameroon in the next Olympics instead of the USA. Embiid, a Cameroonian-American professional basketball player, is a star player for the Philadelphia 76ers in the NBA. The seven-time NBA All-Star was born in Yaound\u00e9, Cameroon, to military officer Thomas Embiid. Representing his birthplace will be fascinating to see for Cameroon fans.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pw-ad-scroll-container\" data-pw-in-article=\"true\">\n<div class=\"pw_report_ad_container\">\n<h2 id=\"h-embiid-fires-back-at-french-trolls-a-bold-response-to-fans-haterade\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Embiid Fires Back at French Trolls: A Bold Response to Fans Haterade<\/h2>\n<p>Embiid has made an excellent effort for Team USA. However, his performance was not appreciated by the fans in the crowd. The French crowd booed him whenever he touched the ball and tried to make a shot. The drama is because Embiid has dual citizenship in both the USA and France, and French fans were expecting him to play for France in the 2024 Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>However, the 2023 NBA MVP chose to play for Team USA instead of France, which led to heavy criticism from the French fans. However, Embiid recently responded to the hate from French fans. According to Kroichick, Embiid clapped back at the French fans for trolling him.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group mai-link-exclude has-alt-background-color has-background has-light-background has-xs-padding-top has-xs-padding-bottom has-sm-padding-left has-sm-padding-right has-xl-margin-top has-xl-margin-bottom\" data-content-name=\"Google News Follow Us\" data-track-content=\"\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"follow-us-wrapper has-black-color has-text-color has-sm-font-size\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pw-ad-scroll-container\" data-pw-in-article=\"true\">\n<p><em>\u201cMore from Embiid, on French fans booing him for choosing to play for Team USA: \u201cThey boo me, I\u2019m going to go back at them and tell them to suck it.\u201d Hmm.
