Joel Embiid may miss the challenge and trash talk that comes with meaningful basketball but he's living his best life this offseason.
Following up his trip to Paris to visit the site of Beyonce and Jay Z's recent music video (pictured below), Embiid is currently gearing up for the third NBA Africa Game that will take place on Saturday in Pretoria, South Africa. You'll be able to watch the game at 11 a.m. EST on ESPN2.
Embiid will play on Team Africa representing his home country of Cameroon. There are also community events honoring Nelson Mandela's legacy all week leading up to the game.
Thanks to the NBA's Twitter account, we have concrete proof that JoJo is both having a blast and dunking on fools while over in Africa.

This below video is exactly how I'd expect a Joel offseason video to go: dunk on fool, then proceed to play zero defense.
