The former player of Real Madrid was a guest in the talkshow “La Resistencia” and he was asked about Joel Embiid, one of the best young centers of the NBA.

“He can be the best center in the NBA”, commented Hernangomez about Embiid. “He’s a bad beast (laughs). He is very big and very strong. I have a good time sparring with him (during games). He ends purple. Nudge, knee, I hit him however I can”.

Embiid was also asked about the age of Embiid, in a question which implied that the Sixers center may, in fact, be older than 24 years old. “We have a really good relationship. In theory, we are of the same age”, said Hernangomez before continuing the joke: “I don’t know. They are African, you never know at the end…”.

However, Hernangomez ended his answer by clarifying: “I trust Embiid’s age”.

Here’s the video of the interview.
