Joel Embiid has interesting take on 76ers stars needing to sacrifice

The unprecedented concentration of talent on one team is a trend that has existed across multiple eras of the NBA. The Boston Celtics had a roster full of Hall of Famers in the 1960s, while the same could be said about the Los Angeles Lakers’ starting five in the 1980s.

Then the super team era was ushered in a couple of decades later, but the common theme on all of those teams was sacrifice. It’s hard for every player to perform at the highest level when so many superstars surround them, so they are forced to tailor their game to the collective.

The Philadelphia 76ers should be no different, a team that now features forwards LeBron James and Jaylen Brown in addition to center Joel Embiid. It’s one of the most talented rosters ever assembled, but the big man has a unique perspective on how the team will operate.
