The NBA All Star Voting Is Underway. Philadelphia 76ers fans need to vote for their favorite player(s)

Joel Embiid needs Philadelphia 76ers fans. In fact, each and every player on the Philadelphia 76ers needs your support right here, right now. This is the time to be heard, Philadelphia.

For the past three seasons, the NBA has gone about its business, nearly oblivious to the doings in Philadelphia and the 76ers. That time is no more.  A young rookie center is working hard to change things right now. You may have heard his name, Joel Embiid?

Well, here is the opportunity to ensure that the NBA hears his name too.  You see, Joel Embiid is delivering on all the hype of the off-season, and then some.  He is an NBA “stretch 5”, a new label for a three point shooting center, who is working hard to adapt to the NBA, and to resolve the drama of the team’s center situation.

He deserves this shot at the All-Star game, if not for his rookie production, than for his perseverance and resolve.  This is a young man who brings excitement to the league whenever he steps onto the court. And now, he needs you to do something for him and his teammates:
