love how you pay these players millions to play a game and you still have to buy them guardians?
lets remember that millions of dollars do not change basic human physiological development.
the frontal lobes in males do not fully develop, and are not fully connected, until around the age of 25. teenagers and males in their early twenties are NOT carrying around brains that simply "an adult brain with fewer miles on it." rather, they are carrying around and operating and making decisions with an as yet incomplete brain.
of particular note is that the frontal lobes are the source of what we commonly call "mature decision making."
get the connection now? until around 25 years of age, most males simply have incompletely developed brains. as i look back to MY behavior during these years, it explains a lot of my truly stupid decisions.
now....back to the nba and back to embiid.
what the 76ers are doing is smart. they are matching an immature player who is in a foreign land with, they hope, a mentor who shares his home culture, language etc. and....the veteran (Luc Richard Mbah A Moute ) will be 28 in september, so his brain should be nice and complete.
what is happening here is that the 76ers are using millions of dollars to buy a surrogate frontal lobe for embiid.
