The MVP voters should be ashamed of themselves.

Never, ever, ever listen to Kendrick Perkins in making your argument.

I think Joel is much better than this, but maybe going on a late RS run to win the MVP wasn't the smartest idea.
He should lose weight, lower his usage and focus on defense to really max out his value, imo.

Once again, Embiid and Harden implode on the big stage. As much as I hate the Celtics, just makes me smile and shake my head.

He's proven post season under performer.

When Jokic rarely shoots poorly, he at least can create with his superior passing. Embiid would just sulk.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

Embiid got the only accolade he cares about.

This is hakeem vs Robinson 95. No h2h matchup, but now we know who the real mvp was and embiid ain't it

Embiid’s MVP is going to have a fat asterisk. Joker was absolutely robbed.

Jokic ups his game in the playoffs. Embiid does the opposite.

Yeah it's over. Until he proves it in the playoffs. He can **** right on off. Happy he got an MVP but that had to be the smallest I've ever seen an "MVP" perform. Indefensible. Jokic the best in the world.

Embiid is the first MVP to shoot below 25% from the field in a Game 7

Even Embiid fans are now well aware what the standing is now. Dont think you'll get any push from Embiid fans until he has a great playoff run


You are crazy if you actually think the famously delusional Embiid fan here will change his mind after this.

Embiid achieved his main goal this season. Hopefully Jokic achieves his.

Fwiw, this series should have been way shorter than 7.

If Embiid is a mvp player , then I’m a millionaire.

He should return that award asap

Embiid is a regular season player, he's not built for the competition in the post season. Let him stick to showboating against tanking teams.
