His experience of captaining his college basketball team gives him a rather unique perspective into the working of the sport. However, he doesn't let his adoration of 'The King' affect his work.

The Philadelphia 76ers and the Oklahoma City Thunder locked horns as the NBA fans witnessed the much-anticipated encounter. And Rookie ace Chet Holmgren bagged some stunning figures for himself in the game. However, the hopes of the Holmgren fans were dashed by the jaw-dropping 35-point performance by reigning MVP Joel Embiid. As the 76ers cashed a 127-123 victory primarily due to Embiid’s heroics, the mom of the Houston Rockets star Tari Eason too took a shot at Holmgren. As someone who regularly entertains NBA fans with her Twitter antics, Teyora Eason had some witty remarks drenched in humor for the star who couldn’t shore up his team to victory despite his big night. TARI EASON’S MOM TAKES JAB AT CHET HOLMGREN Holmgren battled against the 76ers with 33 Points, 6 Rebounds, and 3 Blocks, yet fell just short of tasting victory. And Teyora took to Twitter to share the Thunder star Holmgren’s performance statistics. With her signature humor, she acknowledged the rookie’s performance while simultaneously taking a jab at the NBA star. She wrote on Twitter, “We not letting Abraham Lincoln vampire hunter cook up a Michelin star in Houston!”

<h2>Chet Holmgren's Net Worth 2023</h2>
Since bursting into the scene as a college basketball star, Chet Holmgren has been one of the richest youngsters. With a reported net worth of around $3 million in 2023, his numbers are bound to rise alongside his NBA career. He signed a 4-year $44.89 million contract with the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/oklahoma-city-thunder/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oklahoma City Thunder</a> last season. In this campaign alone, he is set to earn around $10.39 million in salaries from the franchise. The 21-year-old is currently under the representation of Carlos Fleming from WME Sports.
<h2>Chet Holmgren's Early Life</h2>
Born in a Minnesota household, he picked up the game of basketball at an early age. Under the influence of his father, Chet developed his game in Minneapolis while attending the Minnehaha Academy. Sharing the court there with fellow NBA star Jalen Suggs, he became a 6'9 sensation in his high school days. His growth became rapid in that period as by the senior year Holmgren was averaging ?21 points and 12.3 rebounds. In that year, he became the most lucrative prospect in the nation as he led his team to their fourth state championship. His endeavors earned him Mr. Basketball USA and Gatorade National Player of the Year, amongst others.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-612063 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210409125206/chet-holmgren.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1280" />

This resulted in about 30 scholarship offers from various college programs around the country. He reportedly became the number-one player in the 2021 class. Chet made up his mind soon after as he joined Gonzaga, following Jalen's pathway. He turned his choice into the right one, with a record-breaking start to his new life. The 7'1 became the first player to register ten points, ten rebounds, five assists, and five blocks in his debut in 25 years. In his one year there, he also earned the title of the West Coast Conference Defensive Player of the Year. In the following year, he decided to enter the draft, marking a new beginning in his journey.
<h2>Chet Holmgren's Family and Personal Life</h2>
Chet's father, Dave Holmgren, was a former college basketball player. He represented Minnesota Golden Gophers in 57 games from 1984 to 1988. The 7'0 parent helped the youngster train from a young age. The son thus followed in the footsteps of his father's basketball journey. He further enhanced and polished his skill sets to become a nationwide star. His mother, Sarah, also played a pivotal part in his development from a young age. Despite keeping his personal life private, according to reports, the OKC star has two sisters.
<h2>Chet Holmgren's <b>NBA career</b></h2>
After announcing his decision to enter the 2022 NBA draft, he became a top prospect. The Thunder wasted no time as they selected him as the second-overall pick. He became the highest-ever draft pick out of both Gonzaga and the state of Minnesota. He featured in the Summer League following this, where he broke the record for most blocks in a single match. His NBA debut, though, soon came to a halt as he suffered from a Lisfranc injury, keeping him out for the entire season. So, he is yet to feature in an NBA game representing the city of Oklahoma.

<h2>Joel Embiid?s Net Worth 2023, Family, House, Cars, and More</h2>
<h2><b>Joel Embiid?s Net Worth 2023 (Update)</b></h2>
Joel Embiid has an estimated net worth of around $35 million, according to various reports. For the 2022-23 season, Embiid reportedly earned about $34 million playing for the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/philadelphia-76ers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Philadelphia 76ers</a>. In his nine years in the league so far, the Cameroonian has earned over $166 million in NBA salaries. The 76ers star also makes a lot of money from his endorsement deals and investments.
<h2><b>Joel Embiid?s early life?</b></h2>
Joel Embiid was born on 16 March 1994, in Yaound?, Cameroon where he spent most of his childhood. From a very young age, Embiid was drawn towards sports. However, he did not pick up a basketball until he was 15. He then moved to the United States when he was 16 to play basketball. After one year at Montverde Academy, Embiid transferred to The Rock School in Gainesville, Florida, where he developed into one of the best high school players in the country. The 7' center graduated high school in 2013 and committed to the University of Kansas. He played one year of college basketball for the Jay Hawks before declaring for the NBA draft in 2014.
<h2><b>Joel Embiid?s family and personal life</b></h2>
Joel Embiid was born to Thomas Embiid, who was a military officer, and his wife Christine. The couple had three children together. Joel is the oldest and has a younger sister Muriel Embiid. The youngest of the siblings, Arthur Embiid, unfortunately passed away in a car crash in 2014. Muriel has been a major supporter of her brother during the ups and downs in his NBA career.

The Philadelphia 76ers star has been in a relationship with Brazilian model Anne de Paula since 2018. The couple welcomed their first child together in 2020, who was named Arthur in memory of Joel's late brother.
<h2><b>Joel Embiid?s career</b></h2>
Joel Embiid mostly played soccer and volleyball during his childhood and dreamed about playing professional volleyball in Europe. He started playing basketball at 15 and was discovered by NBA veteran Luc Mbah a Moute, who is also from Yaound?, during a basketball camp. With Mbah a Moute's mentorship, Embiid moved to the United States when he was 16 to pursue a career in basketball. However, Embiid's start to basketball was not the easiest.

After starting to play basketball at the age of 15, Embiid lacked some physical abilities and skills required for the game when he moved to the US a year later. He struggled to get game time during his time with Montverde Academy. Also, he often faced a lot of criticism from his teammates. However, he was determined and worked harder than ever. During his time with The Rock School, Embiid developed remarkably and helped the team clinch the state championship.

His performances garnered a lot of attention and he became a five-star recruit. After analyzing his options carefully, Embiid opted to join the University of Kansas in 2013. He had some major performances for the Jay Hawks during his one year. However, he missed out on the NCAA tournament due to an injury. He then declared for the NBA draft in 2014.

The Philadelphia 76ers selected Embiid as the third pick in the 2014 NBA draft despite the injury concerns. He had a tough start to his life in the NBA as well. The Cameroonian missed the first two seasons of his career due to a broken navicular bone in his foot. This raised doubts about the future of Embiid in the league and many questioned the 76ers' decision to pick him. However, he came back strong in 2016.

Embiid averaged over 20 points per game in his first season in the league and earned <span style="font-weight: 400">a spot in the All-Rookie First Team. He continued his development and clinched a spot in the All-Star team the next year. In the next few seasons, Embiid established himself as one of the best players in the league. In 2022, he became the first center since NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal to win the scoring title. He has been in the running for the NBA MVP award for three seasons in a row and finally won the award this season.</span>

Joel Embiid

Joel Embiid?s Net Worth 2023, Family, House, Cars, and More Joel Embiid?s Net Worth 2023 (Update) Joel Embiid has an estimated net worth of around $35 million, according to various reports. For the 2022-23 season, Embiid reportedly earned about $34 million playing for the Philadelphia 76ers. In his nine years in the league so far, the Cameroonian has earned over $166 million in NBA salaries. The 76ers star also makes a lot of money from his endorsement deals and investments. Joel Embiid?s early life? Joel Embiid was born on 16 March 1994, in Yaound?, Cameroon where he spent most of his childhood. From a very young age, Embiid was drawn towards sports. However, he did not pick up a basketball until he was 15. He then moved to the United States when he was 16 to play basketball. After one year at Montverde Academy, Embiid transferred to The Rock School in Gainesville, Florida, where he developed into one of the best high school players in the country. The 7&#8242; center graduated high school in 2013 and committed to the University of Kansas. He played one year of college basketball for the Jay Hawks before declaring for the NBA draft in 2014. Joel Embiid?s family and personal life Joel Embiid was born to Thomas Embiid, who was a military officer, and his wife Christine. The couple had three children together. Joel is the oldest and has a younger sister Muriel Embiid. The youngest of the siblings, Arthur Embiid, unfortunately passed away in a car crash in 2014. Muriel has been a major supporter of her brother during the ups and downs in his NBA career. The Philadelphia 76ers star has been in a relationship with Brazilian model Anne de Paula since 2018. The couple welcomed their first child together in 2020, who was named Arthur in memory of Joel&#8217;s late brother. Joel Embiid?s career Joel Embiid mostly played soccer and volleyball during his childhood and dreamed about playing professional volleyball in Europe. He started playing basketball at 15 and was discovered by NBA veteran Luc Mbah a Moute, who is also from Yaound?, during a basketball camp. With Mbah a Moute&#8217;s mentorship, Embiid moved to the United States when he was 16 to pursue a career in basketball. However, Embiid&#8217;s start to basketball was not the easiest. After starting to play basketball at the age of 15, Embiid lacked some physical abilities and skills required for the game when he moved to the US a year later. He struggled to get game time during his time with Montverde Academy. Also, he often faced a lot of criticism from his teammates. However, he was determined and worked harder than ever. During his time with The Rock School, Embiid developed remarkably and helped the team clinch the state championship.

After analyzing his options carefully, Embiid opted to join the University of Kansas in 2013. He had some major performances for the Jay Hawks during his one year. However, he missed out on the NCAA tournament due to an injury. He then declared for the NBA draft in 2014. The Philadelphia 76ers selected Embiid as the third pick in the 2014 NBA draft despite the injury concerns. He had a tough start to his life in the NBA as well. The Cameroonian missed the first two seasons of his career due to a broken navicular bone in his foot. This raised doubts about the future of Embiid in the league and many questioned the 76ers&#8217; decision to pick him. However, he came back strong in 2016. Embiid averaged over 20 points per game in his first season in the league and earned a spot in the All-Rookie First Team. He continued his development and clinched a spot in the All-Star team the next year. In the next few seasons, Embiid established himself as one of the best players in the league. In 2022, he became the first center since NBA legend Shaquille O&#8217;Neal to win the scoring title. He has been in the running for the NBA MVP award for three seasons in a row and finally won the award this season.
