Embiid is 4-1 vs Jokic
How many years they been in the league to only have played 5 times?
Also we not talking about who wins, cause hell Embiid and Jokic best players on court damn near everytime they lose. For Zeus and Odins sake the Wiz just be the sixers.
I just want to see these two face off because at this point this thread got me loving both of these guys even more!
I love both their games, I think RealGM has gotten really unreasonable with Jokic, there was a thread asking if he should be DPOY. The thread poll just ignores Giannis, who is still the best player in the league. The idea that Embiid isn't on his level is crazy to me, since it's pretty much accepted that Embiid would have won the MVP last year if he didn't get hurt.
Just my thoughts on this topic:
1. They both are great players
2. Treads about Jokic as DPOY or Jokic better than Wilt etc. are stupid
3. Treads about Embiid being better than Jokic or having as good a season as Jokic, on RealGM a month ago, were stupid because he was not close then. In the last month or so with his great play Embiid is in conversation as MVP candidate or best Center in the league
4. It is not accepted that Embiid would have won MVP if he didn't get hurt. Embiid was in front for some people, because his team was 1st in the East while the Nuggets were 5th in the west. Nuggets finished 3rd in the west and Jokic was better by every advanced stat. So If Embiid wasn't hurt there is a chance that difference wouldn't be 91-1 in first place votes for Jokic, but as I see it majority of people here still think that Jokic would have won.
