Joel Embiid: People think I hate Lonzo Ball, but I love him
Embiid loves the rookie point guard

Joel Embiid said that he loves Lonzo Ball.
Per ESPN, Joel Embiid wants to make one thing clear before his first appearance in Los Angeles this week: He "loves" Los Angeles Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball.
All that beef the Philadelphia 76ers star center seemed to have with Ball and his outspoken father, LaVar Ball, on social media is just trash talk as far as Embiid is concerned.
"I love Lonzo," Embiid told ESPN. "The whole situation with them, I think it's just fun. I love what he's doing, especially with his own shoe. He's staking his own place. People think I hate him, but I love him."
