Embiid received the only ring of his career at the ceremony.

There is uncertainty about the future of Philadelphia. James Harden could be out and Embiid revealed he was “disappointed” to find out The Beard wanted to leave.

Embiid has described how much an NBA title would mean to him — and suggested that at some point he might be willing to leave the 76ers to achieve it.

“I just want to win a championship. Whatever it takes,” Embiid said in an interview with Maverick Carter that took place Thursday at the UNINTERRUPTED Sports Film Festival.

“I don’t know where that’s going to be, whether it’s in Philly or somewhere else, I just want the opportunity to achieve that.

“I want to see how it feels to win that first one and then you can think about the next one. It’s not easy, but it takes more than one or two, three men. You have to have good people around you every day and myself, I work hard to be at that level so I can make it happen. So that’s what I’m working towards every day.’

Embiid said he “loves the challenge” of hearing other players named for MVP and proving himself.

“I understand the business, it’s nice at the end of the day, I think of it this way: I’m extremely blessed,” Embiid said.
