“You look at the talent that the U.S. has, but there’s equal talent on other teams,” Embiid said. “And the talent that’s on the U.S. team, you also got to understand most of those guys are older. The LeBron now is not the LeBron that was a couple of years ago. So it’s a big difference.

The Philadelphia 76ers star made a guest appearance on CBS Sports’ coverage of the UEFA Champions League final between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund. Embiid, a big Real Madrid fan, joined the “Champions League Today” pre-show alongside hosts Kate Abdo, Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher, and Micah Richards.
