76ers react to dinner with Will Smith

Because he's West Philadelphia born and raised / On the playground is where he spent most of his days, Will Smith is a lifelong 76ers fan - and also a minority owner of the team.

On Monday, the Hollywood superstar hosted a dinner for the Sixers, even offering a bit of a motivational talk to the still-young roster.

"If you have bad people around you, that’s how people see you," center Joel Embiid said of the advice given by Smith. "He said to have good people around."

Some of the players seemed a little intimidated as well.

"Starstruck,” said Nerlens Noel. "It's hard to get starstruck nowadays. But when you see Will Smith, it's a whole different ballgame."
