RIO DE JANEIRO -- Michael Phelps kept saying this would definitely be his final Olympics.No chance of any more comebacks, right?Not so fast.During a news conference Wednesday, Phelps called Rio my potential last Olympics.With that, the media in the packed interview room erupted in gasps and laughter, cutting off Phelps in mid-sentence as he talked about the chance to share the Olympics with his infant son, Boomer.Just so you guys dont beat me to death if I come back, he went on. Im not. But Im just going to say that.Teammate and longtime rival Ryan Lochte, who is rooming with Phelps in the Olympic village, predicts the 31-year-old Phelps will be back in the pool for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.I just have a weird feeling, Lochte said. Once you compete on this stage at the Olympics, that passion, that excitement, that thrill of racing the top people in the world, when that goes away, you miss it. You miss it really quick.Phelps initially retired after the 2012 London Games, but he changed his mind about a year later.Lochte believes the same thing will happen after Rio.I think thats why he came back, Lochte said. He missed it. He wasnt done accomplishing what he wanted to accomplish in this sport. I dont think hell be done after this one. I hope not.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 . His work can be found at http://bigstory.ap.org/content/paul-newberry .

PHILADELPHIA -- Trust The Process, Joel Embiid says after finishing up a 24-minute interview session at Sixers media day, eliciting some laughs from reporters in the room. Embiid has not played a game since March 1, 2014, but it appears thats about to change.The 22-year-old center, who has been forced to sit out the first two seasons of his NBA career due to multiple foot surgeries, says he expects to play in Philadelphias preseason opener against Boston on Oct. 4.Ive been through a lot, Embiid said, citing his injuries, his teams on-court struggles and the death of his brother in Africa. Its been really hard.Embiid is in really good spirits now, however. He may be on a minutes restriction and unable to play in back-to-backs, but his self-confidence is evident.I havent played in two years, but my game has gotten so much better, he said. If you watch the game tape, Im not the same guy. Im going to make mistakes, but Im going to be just fine.Embiid, a 7-footer who says he weighs 275 pounds, was chosen by former GM Sam Hinkie -- the man whose process paid off in the form of high lottery picks Embiid, Ben Simmons, Dario Saric and Nerlens Noel -- with the No. 3 overall selection in the 2014 draft. He has the potential to be a game-changer on both offense and defense if he can stay healthy.From what it looks like right now, Im going to have about a 20-year career, Embiid said, jokingly. I think of myself as a complete player.Embiid averaged 11.2 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.6 blocks in 28 games at Kansas before injuring his back and missing the NCAA tournament as a result. He struggled with his decision to leave college after just his freshman season, he said, and was seriously contemplating a return to school before mentor Luc Richard Mbah a Moute and other NBA players convinced him to change his mind and enter the draft.Embiid didnt think he could handle living on his own at such a young age, but each year he has grown and matured through adversity.dddddddddddd He has no regrets about leaving early, and while he loves watching his old college games, he cant stand watching college basketball anymore.I feel like they dont know how to play, Embiid said, citing a lack of spacing at the collegiate level.Embiid is stronger, better, faster now, yearning to dominate in the post and expand his game out to the 3-point line. And yes, he has aspirations of learning how to play point guard, too, because of course he does.During the rehab-setback-rehab-setback-rehab process, Embiid says he has learned to be patient.Given that their team has lost 199 games the past three seasons, Sixers fans have, too. But equipped with an exciting young core of bigs, the future is brighter than ever.Now its up to new GM Bryan Colangelo to balance out the roster as the franchise looks to take the next step in its rebuilding efforts.Even though hes yet to suit up, Embiids fun-loving and affable personality has always been on full display. Just check out his social media accounts. After all, what other player has asked Kim Kardashian to slide into his DMs and arm-wrestled Justin Bieber?Its all part of the package that is Joel Embiid.The process is about to be put to the test yet again. The Sixers and their fans have no choice but to trust it.When it comes to this kid, you want to, even if its a risky proposition. Just listen to him talk.My coaches sometimes say Im a little bit too competitive, Embiid said. But I want to win, and I feel like we should win every game. Thats all I care about -- especially in this city where theyve been looking for a team to win. Im glad the Eagles are doing well, so I think its our turn.
