2022 mvp comes down to tomorrow night - 6:30 pm et - 76ers vs Nuggets showdown.

whether you agree with it or not, the greater performer (and probably winner) of tomorrow's game will likely get and deserve the mvp.

tomorrow night is when you can really see if jokic is the best center in the game or if the advanced metrics are overrated if he is unable to best embiid head to head, which matters significantly more.

Will Embiid even play after an OT game against Orlando today in which he played 41 minutes?

Embiid shouldn't even play. Why would you decide the MVP for one game when Embiid came off a back-to-back anyway?

Jokic has played 11 B2B’s this season. He averages 26/15/9 in those games.

Embiid has played 6.

The b2b shouldn’t be a factor.

No. Embiid is playing with Harden.

Media will make that the narrative unfortunately, but I completely agree with you.

Ja Morant might have something to say about this.

I love Ja, but he’s not even favored over Giannis

To me, it’s jokic despite being more of a fan of Joel, but I have no issue with media using this game as a tie breaker. Players need to come and and ball in marquee matchups. Show us the regular season matters

Is Embiid actually going to play this time? He seems to always need a day off or have a broken nail every time they play the Nuggets.

Lol you really are a big Embiid hater. Surprising how egregious it is from a retired mod.

I know that. But the media ain’t deciding this on one game. They’ll play it up of course because of money.

So how does this impact Giannis winning the MVP?

But seriously, there is a 1/6 of the season left. Lot can happen between now and then

Let's be real tho, KD the real MVP (not the awarded MVP which counts games played and narrative) Nets like 3-17 with harden and some of kyrie.
Smoking top teams now that he is back replacing harden. No Simmons yet even.
Would have philly top seed if he replaced embiid
Nuggets and Lakers 2nd seed if he replaced joker and lebron
