Nikola Jokic: Joel Embiid Deserved To Win MVP

[RealGM Wiretap]

After advancing to The Finals for the first time in his career, Nikola Jokic was asked how winning Western Conference Finals MVP compares to winning two regular season MVPs. 

"To be honest, this is just -- I don't know, I don't think about MVPs anymore," said Jokic. "I think people are just mean and saying that [Joel] Embiid shouldn't have won it. I think he should have won it. I think he was playing, if you watch it, extremely, extremely tough basketball through the whole season.

"I don't want to say a player doesn't mean that, but he was really amazing in 82 games or however many games he played."

Fans have low iq's and think that bc he played not so well in the playoffs, he didn't deserve it. Fact is, dude was injured. Hurt his knee in the first series, kept playing. Low IQ fans can't really understand these types of things.
