it will go to somebody else then. there are plenty of good options: Jokic, SGA, Giannis, Luka

RIP Haliburton was a dark horse to win it

BUT BUT BUT...... embid has the highest pts per minute in nba history and has never once even played in the 4th q this season!

Lmao they’ll let that kinda stuff slide for the pity MVP, they up their expectations for each additional MVP earned IMO. The only cases against that are maybe Nash and Malone (2x each)

Embiid wont win a 2nd MVP or DPOY, maybe more scoring titles since they’re per game

He's the best all-around player in the league, when he plays.

Winning scoring titles every season, MVP, all while being one of the leagues most impactful defenders. When he's on the floor there's nobody that can match his impact.

"Every season" lmao you are fuucking hilarious

The only reason Jokic didn’t win last seasons MVP was lack of a title, for optics sake Embiid was given MVP

They won’t be as lenient about Embiid winning a 2nd MVP, he will need to have a compelling case. This season it’s very unlikely he has a compelling case. If he gets playoff success this season and then goes hard next season, that would be more believable to me.

Lol plz

And the only reason he won't win this season is because he won't qualify due to too many missed games.

Ohhh now his unavailability works for him rather it being a deterrent.

You should be disqualified if you don’t play enough games, I think the scoring system title should be changed to total also

You are disqualified if you don't play a minimum....New rules this season.

Minimum 65 games to qualify for awards or All-NBA, etc.
