You that mad that Jokic is better than Embiid?

It was due to OKC having 68 wins and voter fatigue.

Jokic has the league record for career BPM, Win Shares/48, and PER. He will go down as the best center to ever play.


It was likely due to SGA being a better overall player who impacts winning more. The same player who sent his ass to Cancun 😏


Voters are realizing Jokic's triple doubles and fancy offensive stats aren't making up for his atrocious defense and arent leading to consistency or wins in the playoffs. He's fat and out of shape too, but the glazers won't call that out. Game 7 he was gassed after 1 quarter and was just a sloth stumbling around getting targeted on defense (he might be the worst rim protecting center in the league). Taking just 9 shots in a game 7 because you're that gassed is unacceptable. If you're supposed to be the best you dont disappear like that, at least shoot the fucking ball and give some effort lmao.

The reality is he will need to live off that one bogus championship for his career. Where he beat an 8th seed in the Finals.

If Murray isnt going off dropping like 30 PPG (like he did the only two playoff runs where Jokic advanced out of the 2nd round), then Jokic never gets out of the first or second round. We all saw how badly he failed when Murray was out in the playoffs. Just give this guy the same level of hate you'd give other players if they did the same thing....

Talk of being the best center ever? LOL wut. A one way center the best ever? :wallbash: :bonk:

You mean an injured Embiid, right?

Because healthy prime Embiid was Jokic's DADDY. Best scorer in the league by a mile, and DPOY caliber defensive anchor who could turn any team into a top defensive team by himself. Jokic can't even make an impact on one half of the floor he's a sloth defensively and gets targeted.

There's a reason Embiid absolutely OWNS Jokic in h2h matchups too. 6-2 all-time not even counting the Olympics rofl. But try and tell us home court advantage is the reason Embiid drops 40+ every time he plays Jokic 😂

Availability is the best ability, and for that Jokic has had a better career but we alllll know Embiid when healthy was the best player in the game.

First of all a healthy Embiid doesn't exist.

Second the last 4 seasons Jokic combined VORP is higher than Embiid's career VORP. Jokic over the last 4 seasons has the same amount of Win Shares that Embiid has in his entire career. It isn't about availability. Those 4 seasons is 292 games. Embiid has played over 400 games and still impacted the game less.

Embiid against Denver :

10% higher shooting and double the assists. 🤣🤣🤣
