I know I'm gonna be one of the very few that agree with this take but I just would enjoy the showdown of the 2 guys who've basically been battling for MVP the last several years and in a plot twist....(this might get me booed out of the thread lol) BUT I'd actually like to see Embiid win it just for how much it will shift the conversation in the league.
Although the league is finally preparing to move on from LBJ, KD & Steph...that would really cement that it's now Jokic, Giannis & Embiid's era (which obv already is). But I think it makes it more fun when there's a debate about who's the best player in the league and if these 3 guys are scrapping it out each year for the next 3-4 it will make for a story of a different era in basketball and help solidify those guys as all time greats.
It's kinda funny to me how the league seems to want to leapfrog the spotlight over that trio (Jokic/Giannis/Embiid) and already trying the focus on to AntMan, Luka & Shai, heck they're even trying to force the narrative onto Tatun. Each of those guys are still (other than MAYBE Tatum) probably another 2-3 years away from taking over but right now is the Big Man Era. Those guys imo just don't seem to be getting quite the level of attention that they've earned by harping too much on players of the recent past and then overlooking them for the guys following behind them. I'm just saying if Embiid gets one then I think it will force the league & media to finally acknowledge who's era it is and make for a fun conversation of where each guy can place themselves historically (feels like arguably an even better version of Hakeem/Robinson/Ewing with no MJ in the way lol).
