If Jokic had this level of meltdown, Im sure people who dislike him would go easy.

To add perspective, have both players switch teams and Tatum looks vastly different today. There's no redemption for him as he simply comes alive in the 4th of the last game, but by then it's too late, the lead the Jokic 76ers have built up is too much.

There's no Game 7 51 point performance because the 76ers have knocked off the Celtics in that Game 6 Scenario with Jokic instead of Embiid.

He has never been. Dude has always ended up second in everything from being bounced in the second round even with the likes of playoff Butler carrying his ass or finishing second to Jokic in MVP. How can a guy who has lost two straight MVP races and been the inferior player and should have lost again another MVP to Jokic, but only got it cuz narrative and racist BS be better!?
Jokic has been a top 3 playoff performer every since he first stepped in the playoffs while this fraud folds everytime like clockwork..

People just wanna argue for the sake of arguing.. There is a bigger offensive gap then there is a defensive. Also offense is way more important otherwise smart would be as good as curry and he isn't even 1/10 of the player curry is. ELITE passing and with that I mean on the level off CP3, lebron and Jokic is far more valueble then even DPOY/all nba defense is. That's still not mentioning superior scoring of Jokic. You can't just look at raw numbers since Jokic can average easily 30+ if he wanted and he has shown that several times in the playoffs unlike the fraud. This dude is a SILVER MEDALIST.

he was even worse defensively, I would love to see how many of Boston's pts were scored directly on Embiid, that number is pretty astronomical

It’s true? Embiid is the only mvp to never make the conference finals I just read.

This is bull. Embiid had an amazing season and ended it strong. Not his fault Harden will for from 40pt games to 14pt games night to night and Doc is one of the most overrated coaches in the league.

His injury shouldn't affect his decision making and BBIQ though. What's his excuse for that?

Also a big reason they didn’t close it out with some epic stinkers.

Dirk has a championship lol. It’s saying every MVP winner has at least made it to the conference finals, except for Embiid.
