Justin Bieber, Nerlens Noel & Joel Embiid: NBA Prospect Likes Justin Bieber Philadelphia 76ers Teammate Claims Basketball Made Him Fat In Time For 2014/15 NBA Schedule

The 2014/15 NBA schedule will be available for all to see within a couple of hours, but two of the brightest prospects the game has to offer, are busy concentrating on other things. In Nerlens Noel and Joel Embiid, the Philadelphia 76ers have to talented, funny and injury-prone players. None the less, their struggling franchise could soon be enjoying their on-court talent. However, they may have to get used to Noel's love of pop sensation Justin Bieber, and Embiid's excuses and wacky humour, as he's claimed that basketball made him fat.

Noel recently admitted that he loves Bieber, and said he's his favourite celebrity baller and popstar. He admitted he listened to his music, but insisted only at home, while he was alone, showing his love for the star was not big enough for public affection. The Sixers are hoping to win a lot more games this season, but if Bieber is blasting in the locker room, can the players motivate themselves?

It seems like Embiid, Noel's rookie teammate, might not be bothered about the music. He has recently admitted that after three years of basketball, he has gained weight, hinting that the sport has made him fat. Despite his evident muscle, the star has a weird sense of humour, and is regularly poking fun out of people on Twitter. Who knows, perhaps he will try and arrange a meet-and-greet for Noel and Bieber.

Can these young talents transform the 76ers? Even if not, life should never be boring for the 76ers while they have this duo around.
