Joel Embiid met his biggest fan on Monday night and no, it’s not you.
The Process had a special visitor before the Philadelphia 76ers hosted the Sacramento Kings—a 3-year-old superfan whose interest in Embiid has been documented on social media all season.
Charlotte goes by the handle @SnowmanEmbiid on Twitter because, well, she once asked Joel if he wanted to build a snowman.

Makes sense to me.
On Monday, Charlotte and her family got to meet the standout center before the game. She was thrilled.

Charlotte didn’t say much during her live television interview, but parents, Matt and Maggie, were happy to chat about how their toddler fell in love with a 7’2 man while Charlotte was enthralled with the game.
“Our family just stated watching the Sixers as we do every year and she just fell in love with Embiid as everyone else has,” Matt said. “She just watched the TV and connected with him. She just loves him so much.”
“It’s really cool,” Maggie said when asked about the meeting. “You alway want to see your kid meet their hero. So we’re very happy to have that opportunity for her.”
Charlotte’s Twitter feed is full of adorable moments, drawings and videos. Joel is even getting good luck kisses from 3-year-olds. Is there anything Embiid can’t do?
