Joel Embiid reflects on his failed recruitment of LeBron James; trolls Drake

The No. 3 overall pick of the Philadelphia 76ers in the most recent NBA Draft, Joel Embiid is likely to miss the entirety of the 2014-15 basketball season due to injury, so he tried to contribute to the club in a different way: by recruiting LeBron James to Philadelphia.
When LeBron announced his decision to return to Cleveland and play for the Cavaliers, Embiid admitted defeat.
I guess my recruiting skills didn't work

Embiid also took the opportunity to take a shot at Drake.
