Former New York Knicks draft bust Frederic Weis has slammed Joel Embiid for snubbing France to play for Team USA this summer, as he jokingly suggested that the NBA star should be banned from the 2024 Paris Olympics altogether.

Weis – an Olympic silver medalist in 2000 and the victim of the notorious ‘dunk of death’ by Vince Carter – didn’t hold back while talking about Embiid – the reigning NBA MVP – on a French radio station Saturday. His comments come just days after Embiid was named on USA basketball’s Olympic roster.
