A lot of people hate Embiid, and still associate him with "The Process" era, etc. Plus, he was very vocal about his thoughts on MVP voting which rubbed people the wrong way.

Jokic is deserving statistically, the advanced analytic nerds beat their meat to him all day. But Embiid is a more dominant two way player who led the NBA in scoring while being an All-Defense team selection, etc. Plus, Jokic was a 6th seed and was 4-1'd in the FIRST round....


Imagine hearing news of your MVP award in early May and you're in the off-season already rofl.


Finals MVP will have to do ;)

Joker is deserving of the award based on the regular season, but it's hard to ignore what you see in the postseason


I mean - the only way Embiid beat Joker in the post season was wins --- and it's easy to figure out why when you look at what each of them played with for colleagues

Bro I got rings bro what you got?

A failed process and the biggest joke to ever grace the NBA in Simmons, nice legacy

Heat in 6 stfu


All Toronto has is a bunch of balding idiot fans





Also Giannis deserved that award way more than Jokic did if anything.

Just lmao @ the fucking MVP getting benched on the most important possession for his team in the playoffs because he can't switch and play any defense what so ever. This the best player in the NBA?

Imagine winning the MVP award after getting 4-1'd in the first round in a series where your team benched you on a key defensive possession in crunch time.

The Nuggets won a singular game. MVP can't get you more than one? Whoever his supporting cast is that's still pretty pathetic..he's the most valuable player in the league after all

Didn't say his stat line was pathetic. It's pathetic that they won one game.

The most valuable player can't lift his team to more than one win?
