I'm trying to dominate, and if you dominate, you're going to be hated because you're going to talk so much stuff.
Quote by -Joel Embiid
One thing when I started playing in the league, I saw that a lot of guys are friendly. It's OK to be friendly, especially off the court. But on the court, I want to dominate.
Quote by -Joel Embiid
I look like I'm not listening, but I'm actually listening. I like listening to everything, observing everybody, just taking everything in, and then, in my mind, figuring out what's good for me and what's bad for me.
Quote by -Joel Embiid
I like Meek Mill a lot. I listen to 'Dreams & Nightmares' introduction a lot. I always act crazy when the beat drops.
Quote by -Joel Embiid
I think I'm a good offensive player, good defensive player. I do it on both ends of the floor.
Quote by -Joel Embiid
I feel like I'm one of the most physical players in the league - I love contact. I love attacking. I love going to the free throw line.
Quote by -Joel Embiid
I think it would've been a little easier if I grew up in America; they've got better conditions for basketball players. At the same time, many people have said to me that having to start playing so late helped me not pick up bad habits.
Quote by -Joel Embiid
I have lots of confidence in myself that I can fulfill my dreams and make the people of Philadelphia proud.
Quote by -Joel Embiid
On social media, I can hide behind the computer or the iPhone. Internet courage.
Quote by -Joel Embiid
When I look at myself, I'm not a big man - I'm a guard. I can do everything on the basketball court. You can name it - pass, post up, shoot the ball, bring the ball up, being a playmaker - so I'm excited to break that stereotype.
Quote by -Joel Embiid
I love competing. I mean, if you ask anybody around me, my coaches, they know I love competing. I hate losing.
Quote by -Joel Embiid
When I sat down with Under Armour, one of the first things we talked about was how this can be bigger than just shoes, bigger than just basketball.
Quote by -Joel Embiid
If I play against you the first time - or it doesn't even have to be the first time - and you want to be all physical and just talk, or talking trash or whatever, it just gets me going.
Quote by -Joel Embiid
Every time I get on the court, I want to push my teammates to be better as a leader and lead by example.
Quote by -Joel Embiid
Before games and sometimes practice, I like something with a dope beat. Like Rick Ross, when he's just like, 'RUH!,' all that stuff.
Quote by -Joel Embiid
People have labeled the Process as whatever, tanking. I don't see it like that.
Quote by -Joel Embiid
I'm not cocky, I'm humble, but I think I can be really special, one of the top players in the league.
Quote by -Joel Embiid
I always dream about that type of moment. In my head, I always kind of create that scenario, just about, like, some type of winning shot or block that's going to, like, really get the crowd into it.
Quote by -Joel Embiid
Basketball has given me everything, but it has to be bigger than basketball. That was the first thing that I said to Under Armour, and they were behind it 100 percent. This isn't about a shoe deal.
Quote by -Joel Embiid
You know how I learned to shoot? I watched white people. Just regular white people. They really put their elbow in and finish up top. You can find videos of them online.
Quote by -Joel Embiid
I don't really care about the friendships on the court. I got my friends. I got my family, which I'm close to. I got a couple of friends that I'm always around.
Quote by -Joel Embiid
Every time, the mindset I get when I get on the floor is that I'm the best player on the floor.
Quote by -Joel Embiid
It's just about working on everything, perfecting everything, like my 3-point shot or ball handling.
Quote by -Joel Embiid
Agents recruiting high-school players and talking to high-schoolers - I feel like those are the people who put bad ideas in kids.
Quote by -Joel Embiid
I feel like Americans don't really have any idea of what's going on in the world, especially us Africans. I feel like when they think about Africans, they think about just us running around with lions and tigers and all those other animals.
Quote by -Joel Embiid
There's definitely a lot of undiscovered talent in Africa. If I'm one of them and there's a few other guys in the league, that means that there must be some that are hidden.
Quote by -Joel Embiid
I had this DVD that my coach in Cameroon had mailed to me when I first came to America. It was an hour-long tape of Hakeem Olajuwon and some other legendary big men. I probably watched that DVD every single day for three years.
Quote by -Joel Embiid
I want to have a lot to do with winning a championship or bringing a championship back to the city of Philadelphia.
Quote by -Joel Embiid
A lot of people just think I'm a big man, but I'm a basketball player. I am able to do everything that a basketball player can do - from playmaking and scoring to just passing the ball and just being a leader and post presence.
Quote by -Joel Embiid
When I was still back in Cameroon, because I didn't know English, I used to listen to French rap all the time and then a little bit of American hip-hop. And then, when I got to the States, that's when I really got into all those guys - Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, all those guys.
Quote by -Joel Embiid
I want to be that type of guy - I want to be Kobe Bryant. I want to be Tim Duncan. I want to be Dirk Nowitzki - stay with one team my whole career.
Quote by -Joel Embiid
I'm really not an injury-prone player. I just had that one injury that took, like, two years.
