It only took countless bullying by the media and constant whining by Embiid to win it over Jokic but congrats I guess?
Good, maybe now he’ll shut the fuck up about it.
And then gets injured for the playoffs. The parody in sports today is otherworldly.
Happy for embiid because he’s a hell of a player but he doesn’t win it without voter fatigue
I should have figured it would be all Embiid hate in a generic sports sub like this lol. Did y all even watch the game where Embiid went head to head with Jokic? It was pure dominance on Embiids end.
Pitty win
Congrats to Embid, but the advanced stats were massively in favor of Jokic, including Defensive Rating, with the sole exception of Usage Rate.
Embid was 1st in scoring, Jokic 18th. That and blocks is pretty much all he had. Jokic averaged more rebounds, assists, and steals.
But Jokic was 3rd in assists – the highest assist average ever for a center. Jokic also had substantial leads in FG% and 3PT%, led the league in triple doubles, and was second in double doubles.
he got it bc he cried for it and joker couldnt give a fuck less even tho he’s obviously the mvp… embiid hasnt done shit in the playoffs and now he’s hurt… 6ers have a winning record without embiid anyways yet nugs have a losing record without joker… coincidence? embiid is just a bigbaby clownchild… not mvp
he reminds me of this guy i used to work with whose sole purpose in life was apparently just to get employee of the month as many times as he could and he’d bitch and moan every time he didnt even if someone else was completely dominating that month he just always felt like he deserved it for some reason
Embiid sucks
Wonder how many sports anchors are going to cry racism over jokic not winning it…I’m gonna guess zero.
Doesn’t exactly look like what I picture when I think Basketball MVP.
Why are basketball posts always filled with hate in r/sports? And it’s this sport specifically. Let the man enjoy his MVP…
Good lord this place is worse than r/nba
Rock Chalk Jayhawk!!
The amount of flipping Joel managed in just one playoff series should have disqualified him.
Embiid pushed his body too hard and is now injured. Especially worse since the west is wide open rn. Meanwhile the Nuggets are healthy and up 2-0 on the Suns
Mission accomplished Perk!
So pretty much it was you know what let’s just give the guy the MVP trophy we’ve been teasing him for years
About damn time! Big fella deserves this!
Amazing how far he’s coming in the NBA considering he grew up playing soccer where he perfected his art of taking dives.
Man Joel is whiter then I thought. And old
Great! Who gives a shit… Philly is once again going to bottle it and they’ll be in the same place next year, with Embiid whining and crying and being a general little bitch
Jokic is better. Hands down. No contest.
This is bs, should have went to jokic
If you had to pick one stat to determine MVP, what would it be? I appreciate one must look at several to determine who they think is the best choice but I am looking for a go-to stat to indicate who should be the MVP.
Some that come to mind are:
VORP
Win shares
WAR
Good for Joel Embid. Nice player who dominates but it’s hard for me to imagine him leading his team to NBA championship.
MVPity
Yet…. Where is he?
