JOEL EMBIID 2023 NBA MVP 

Post#1 » by Mik317 » Tue May 2, 2023 11:08 pm

i am happy for breh

IMO I would have voted for Giannis (again long time bad luck guy here lol) as I think it should go to the best player on the best team when its this close but obviously I needed the Big Potato to win one. He should have won one of the previous years so who gives a ****.

now that he has this...he is a lock HOF and All timer so now he can focus on finishing the job. Ideally next year he takes a step back in usage on offense now that he isnt chasing this as hard.

But **** all of that...

dude has overcome a shitton to get here so lets just celebrate this for that alone

Justice is served. Fully deserved it. Had one of the greatest scoring seasons of all time, was ridiculously clutch and was an elite defender.

Congratulations Jo!! This one is for all the haters.

Shame he missed game 1, hopefully he can play game 2 or 3.

A great story of Embiid's beginnings.

Love the response:

Remarkable for someone most experts said would never play. Process was always about getting a player like this and we succeeded. Winning a championship is everyone's goal, so miss me with that the process didn't work because we didn't win a championship yet

CONGRATS EMBIID!! Man…FINALLY! For those of us who were around the entire process, watched the 10-72 year, soak this up.

Side note, the amount of babies on the General Board is remarkable. Keeping a list of the losers whining in the MVP topic in my signature.

I'm in my feelings forreal. I'm sending folks Embiid clips like he's my kid or something. My dude went from Greg Oden to a no doubt Hall of Famer. Wild.

Absolutely. There are less than a dozen players in the NBA capable of leading a championship squad. There are more than twice that many teams. Until you have one, nothing else matters. We're in the running for a title, and currently the favorites. The process worked... let's hope it turns into a title.
