Giannis Antetokounmpo revealed that Joel Embiid attempted to recruit him to the Philadelphia 76ers during All-Star weekend.
Antetokounmpo and Embiid were teammates on Team Stephen.
"He told me I should trust the process and come play for Philly," Antetokounmpo said with a chuckle, drawing a laugh. "That was my reaction — I just laughed.”
The 76ers selected Michael Carter-Williams ahead of Antetokounmpo in 2013.
Antetokounmpo cannot become a free agent until 2021.
