I'm lovin' what I see here! It's amazing to see Joel Embiid and the rest of the 76ers team gettin' involved in their community, spreadin' some holiday cheer and makin' a real difference in people's lives. I mean, it's not just about the games and the wins (although that's important too ), it's about showin' that they care about the folks who support 'em.

And you know what's even cooler? It's not just the big-name players gettin' involved, it's everyone – from Adem Bona to Paul George. Everyone's rollin' up their sleeves and doin' their part. That's what I call a team effort!

It's clear that Coach Nick Nurse is right on point when he says community involvement is crucial for the players. They're gettin' an amazing response from the fans, so it's only fair that they give back in some way. And I love that Joel Embiid's heart is in it – he's not just doin' it for attention or whatever, he's really passionate about makin' a difference.

So here's to the 76ers and their community-focused initiatives! May they continue to spread joy and kindness throughout the year

The way Joel Embiid and other 76ers players are bringing joy to their community during the holiday season is really heartwarming . It's not just about basketball, it's about using their platforms to make a difference in people's lives. I mean, who doesn't love seeing a player like Adem Bona teaming up with his colleagues behind the scenes to get everything ready for events? It shows that even though they're superstars on the court, they're also kind and caring people off the court.

The 'Thanksgiving Assist' event and the Christmas celebration at SkyZone were just amazing. I love how players like Kyle Lowry and Kelly Oubre Jr. are using their resources to help out families in need. It's so inspiring to see young people being motivated by role models like these guys . And Coach Nick Nurse is totally right - community involvement is key for players who have the means to make a positive impact.

It's also awesome that Paul George and Joel Embiid are using their platforms to spread holiday cheer. They're not just bringing joy to their fans, but also to their fellow community members . The 76ers really do seem to be 'it's more than basketball' kind of organization, and I think that's something we can all learn from

I'm loving this ! It's amazing to see Joel Embiid and his teammates spreading holiday cheer and making a real difference in their community. I mean, sure, basketball is an awesome sport, but it's clear that these guys are using their platform for something way bigger than just winning games. Giving back and helping those in need is such an important part of being a responsible role model. It's inspiring to see players like Lowry, Oubre, and George taking the time to make a positive impact on people's lives. And I love how Coach Nurse emphasizes that community involvement is key for these guys - it's a great reminder that we all have a responsibility to use our platforms for good

I love how Joel Embiid and the rest of the 76ers team are using their platform to make a real difference in the community . It's awesome that they're not just about winning games, but also about giving back and spreading holiday cheer. I mean, who wouldn't want to see kids from Camden-area high schools getting hyped over some hoops and games? And it's so cool that players like Kyle Lowry and Kelly Oubre Jr. are using their platforms to help out families in need. It just goes to show that sports can be a powerful force for good . I think it's really inspiring to see these guys putting in the work behind the scenes too, making sure everything runs smoothly while they're off hosting events .

I'm so late to this thread but I just saw this and OMG what's going on with Joel Embiid?! He's literally spreading holiday cheer like it's nobody's business! And it's not just him, the whole team is getting involved. I love how Coach Nick Nurse emphasizes that players need to give back to their community too. It's awesome to see them using their platform for good.

I also gotta say, 175 turkeys and dinner sides to families in need? That's amazing. And Paul George hosting a Christmas party with gifts? That's what I call holiday spirit! Adem Bona and Jabari Walker taking care of team employees behind the scenes is just too cute.

It's not just about the big gestures either, it's the little things that show they truly care. Like, have you seen the care kits for veterans and active military members? That's real heroism right there.

I'm so inspired by these players and their commitment to giving back. It's a great reminder that we can make a difference, even if we're not in positions of power like they are.
