When you're a world-class athlete, you have a special appreciation for others playing a sport at the highest level, even if it isn't your own.
So when basketball superstar Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers took in Monday night's game between the Phillies and Astros at Citizens Bank Park, he had a different perspective than other fans in attendance.
When Bryce Harper delivered a walk-off single to score Kyle Schwarber in the 10th inning, Embiid's perspective was from right behind home plate, where he got video of the game-winning moment on his phone and posted it to his Instagram story.
As an MVP and two-time NBA scoring champion, Embiid knows greatness in the sports arena when he sees it. He saw it on Monday night in fellow Philly superstar Harper -- himself a two-time National League MVP.
It's always fun when game recognizes game, even when it's between two sports.
