It ain’t like it was going to be different considering it’s the same players up for MVP lol

It would be one thing if we were discussing the actual players - all of them. It's another thing to read the same Hussein Fatal and Eyetoma post over and over and over and over....

This time last year eyeatoma and co were debating who’s better Jokic or Embiid. This year that arguments been lost so we’ve moved to whether Jokic deserves to be in goat debates… who knows where this debate might go this time next year!

After the hot start of Luka and Shai it's just gonna end up being Jokic vs Embiid again isn't it.

The funny thing is Steph has been in the conversation some past years from the beginning, but then he got hurt.

Stephen definitely has a shot.

Dillon has his team on pace for 79-3 over their last four.

warriors have had a lot of road games so far this season and have been winning. pretty good sign for them given how poorly theyve been performing on the road in the past few seasons

would not be surprised if they end up with the best record in the western conference this year

Shai with a big game to at least keep himself on the fringes of the discussion.

Up to 28/7/6 and 3 stocks after todays game and the team is winning.

8-1 and beat the Warriors without Jamal Murray.

No one is close to Jokic right now.

I definitely got Jokic at 1. Embiid is probably at 2.

Embiid will have the narrative the same way Westbrook won in 2017 when KD left him in OKC. 31/11/5 in 60+ TS% with the Sixers having the best record in the NBA and Embiid winning the scoring title for 3rd straight year will get it done.

Maxey and Harris look soooo much better without Harden. Trade looking very good for Philly even if it’s addition by subtraction.

Let Embiid flop his way to another MVP when we all know that his game is gonna disappear in the playoffs lol.

Jokic is still the MVP but missing 2 free throws at the end of a tight game against a threat in the west has been recorded

And he had a key turnover during the final minute of that game. No chance he wins MVP now. It was a nice run.

Can you tell me one playoff run where he wasn't injured?

The one where he was healthy he averaged 30 against the Celtics, got swept, but he showed up.

Embiid shat the bed game 6 and 7, but people need to realize he has been injured for the majority of his playoff runs. The key will be health, if after health he can't get it done, he goes into the annals of NBA history as a great star who couldn't cut it in the playoffs. Still has a few seasons to change the narrative.

Who will be the 2023-24 NBA MVP?
