Everyone knows what Sixers center Joel Embiid brings to the court as a basketball player, but apparently, Embiid has a future in show-business as well.
Embiid was featured in Jolly Ranchers' television commercial entitled "Being a Rookie Sucks."
The commercial was shot before Embiid went down with a season-ending knee injury, so the candy company must have re-done the voiceover to fit Jo-Jo's situation.
The PA announcer in the commercial says, "With a rookie year lasting longer than a jolly rancher." Nice job, Jolly Ranchers, nice job.
Without a doubt, Embiid's acting is as impressive as his court presence.
