If Jokic gets 24pt/11reb/10 Asssits season average as a center n first place nuggests in the west??!! Then he will be MVP again 3rd time

Or Giannis if bucks winning 60+ wins, him averaging 30+ point

Embid didn’t play enough games compared to those 2 front runners

"elite defense"

This is a reach...now we're questioning Embiid's defense of all things? Lol wtf

Why would you even bring up blocks of other centers if you're talking about his defense? 🤣

And look at Embiid's defense, not his teams. Look at what HE gives up, or should I say doesn't give up.

so Embiid's team is giving it up at the rim, got it

Jokic leads Embiid in every one of these metrics, except two out of thirteen listed. They're both box scored based and impact based:

Honestly looks like the best center listed.

Nobody, and I mean nobody, except Jokic homers thinks he's a good defender.

He literally gives up the most points defending layups in history this season. Since player tracking started in 2013. That man can't defend the rim, as a center, to save his life 🤣

“Everybody is always basing everything on winning a championship, but that’s not all that matters. Would you rather be in contention every year?”

He knows
