Joel Embiid reunited with Astros pals Jose Altuve and Carlos Beltran, and they all looked swanky
On Tuesday night, Sports Illustrated paid tribute to two members of the World Series champion Astros at their Sportsperson of the Year Awards.
Another athlete who was honored at the event was 76ers star and occasional souvenir catcher Joel Embiid. That allowed the opportunity for Embiid to reunite with Altuve and Beltran after switching sides to cheer them on at Game 5 of the World Series.

Suave as ever.
It was great to see them all together again, though one can't help but wonder what a picture would have looked like had
Let's see:
Well, Altuve certainly looks more dapper in the picture on the left, though we bet Embiid could pull off those patriotic socks, too. Maybe next year!
