Joel Embiid sounds confident he'll be taking home the NBA Rookie of the Year award.
The Philadelphia 76ers center, who played in just 31 games before undergoing season-ending knee surgery, told TMZ Sports he has "a pretty good chance of getting it." He also revealed his pick for MVP (hint: he plays for the Oklahoma City Thunder) and gave a shoutout to reality TV star Olivia Pierson.
