NBA MVP Discussion Thread 2023-24 (Part 3: Son of Daughter of MVP thread)

[Jaqua92]

Joel has played 12 less games and only has 3 less losses. Embiid is 26-6 Jokic is 29-13 meaning Embiid has a much higher win % plus those 3 extra wins don’t make up for Embiids wide gap in production compared to Jokic.

Embiid is having one of if not one the best regular seasons ever.

If only he played more games....

He could play 65 games and this season would still be considered one of if not the greatest regular seasons ever.

Didn't you disappear after the Sixers got eliminated and Jokic won a ring last year?

Doesn't front running feel even a little bit shameless?

[Special_Puppy]

Jokic 29 wins
Embiid 26 wins.

Still got Jokic.

Are we really citing wins for an individual award? (also the 76ers have had the better adjusted point differential so this doesn't work)

My god, some of you can't even give someone props on a historic night. Must be so miserable to constantly bring in this negativity...

[AleksandarN]

I would love it if Jokic only takes 4 shots next game. He don’t give two **** about trying to one up anyone.

Right. We see how he is. He could have 18 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists on 9 shots the next game. He doesn’t care what everyone else is doing.

Are you close to Jokic you must be one of his relatives that speaks to him often because how else would you know what he cares about or what he doesn’t care about.

Honestly you sound like an upset child.

And what do you sound like when you went after me? When all night I praised and cheered on Embiid. You are sound like a spoiled and entitled child. You have no room to talk. So best be quiet and not call or degrade other posters calling them childish

The funny thing is when people do it is never enough. How many posts I praised and cheered on Embiid tonight. Yet I get Hussien going at me saying I don’t give Embiid props enough. I can’t make this **** up even if I tried

[JustBuzzin]

Don't mind me just stopping by to say hello the back to back MVP Embiid.

[Baz]

70 points is insane

[AleksandarN]

70 points is insane

It was.

[Infinite Llamas]

Mitchell and Lillard had 71 last year against bad teams…

I went about as wild for those games as I did Embiid tonight.

For real. a 65+ point performance is insane no matter the context

No one is talking about you man. There are plenty of posts. You giving props doesn't compare to the drowning thread of negativity towards him. It's appreciated though from you.

[CobraCommander]

Well that was fun - lol

[heezyo2o]

70 and a loss would be something

F Embiid but ….


He is rolling

Good night for Embiid but not as efficient or impressive as Jokic yesterday.

Points Per FGA in the two performances.

Jokic.....42/20 = 2.10
Embiid...70/40 = 1.75

If Jokic took 40 shots yesterday with a 2.1 P/FGA ratio, he scores 84 points; if Embiid takes 20 FGA tonight with a 1.75 PFGA ratio, he scores 35 points.

Embiid missed 6 of his first 14 FGA tonight. Jokic missed 5 FGA all of last evening.

Additionally, Embiid dominated the ball for Philly with more than 2x the FGA's than his nearest teammate whereas Jokic played in the flow and didn't even have the most FGA on his team.

Props to Embiid, but again he falls short in the comparison.

[heezyo2o]

A couple years ago, ANT would be going hard with Lamelo on the other team. Even if Kat was hot

[One Last Shot]

Embiid is averaging 43.4 ppg in 70.6 TS% out of 7 games winning it all against Jokic/AD/Gobert/Towns/Wemby/Banchero/Chet/Sengun aka the best Center in the present and future NBA. Ridiculous.

[HotRocks34]

The stat line for Embiid's 70 points tonight is similar to the stat line for Booker's 70.

Embiid.....23/40 FGA
Booker.....21/40 FGA

Booker also had more than 2x the FGA of his nearest teammate, as was the case for Embiid in his game.

[Hussien Fatal]

Embiids updated stats

[ThomYorke]

Luka is not even in the conversation anymore. Getting absolutely shut down by Brown and is just throwing up bricks.

1) Embiid
2) Jokic
3) SGA
4) Giannis
5) Leonard

That is my list right now.
