Re: Was Jokic robbed of the MVP?
I wouldn't say "robbed," as Embiid had a great year.
But yeah Jokic should have won it.

Embiid got it because voters said that Jokic couldnt win a title.

Re: Was Jokic robbed of the MVP?
I think Jokic is a better player but Embiid had an awesome season and deserved the award. It's a regular season award. We have to stop using periods of time outside of the specified period of time for the award, to discredit players and teams.
Also, the "yes" and "no" options on the poll are opposite of the question of the thread title lol

It's hard to say that he got "robbed". It's a regular season award and...
Embiid legit played better down the stretch.
Jokic was coasting down the stretch because the Nuggets had a huge lead built up for the # 1 seed.

Jokic gave it up on purpose because he's a nice guy and respects Embiid

Re: Was Jokic robbed of the MVP?
No, he wasn't, Embiid was a legitimate choice, a favourable choice if you account for Jokic winning 2 years in a row.
Hiw the media went about it, though, and not just Perkins, was shameful, unfair and uncalled for, they should be ashamed of themselves.

If the voters saw this performance then yeah they don't vote Embiid.

Re: Was Jokic robbed of the MVP?
The MVP convo took a nasty turn and I don't even think Jokic wanted the award at the end.
Still, Embiid had an MVP season so can't say it wasn't deserved

I am not Embiid fan and I wanted Jokic to win, but come on, it was neck a neck, two historically good regular seasons from both Joel and Nikola. To me both were equally deserving, if anyone else won it, then I would agree.

Thread title and opening post question are conflicting, making poll confusing in just 50/50 option.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

Re: Was Jokic robbed of the MVP?
no, and this is not fair as embiid was just eliminated from the playoffs. jokic got eliminated the last two years, does that mean he didn't deserve his? no

Guarantee you at least 25% of people voted for thread title. I pressed yes and was just about to hit vote when I saw the question.

It's hard to look at stats and say that's why Embiid won. Aside from PPG, Jokic pretty much was ahead of Embiid in almost every statistical category. Most voters who have said they voted for Embiid have said historical presidence played a roll. I'm biased but I feel like history will look back and either be confused or compare this to Karl Malones MVP.

Maybe but who cares. Jokic is showing, without a doubt, who the better player actually is.
