Don't wanna hear Embiid is better than Jokic

We all knew Jokic was not winning this year's MVP the moment he won last year's MVP. It's become a tradition that noone can win 3 MVPs in a row.

Embiid just did enough to qualify as a reasonable choice for the award and that was that.

I don't want to go too hard on him and extrapolate too much from this performance, but I'll say that he needs to redeem himself hard. Dirk and Giannis did it so it's not impossible for Embiid, but he's got a long way to go at this point, especially mentally.

There is no indicator that Embiid will become a great play off performer in the future. We had ample size so far and he keeps disappointing as the go to guy every season .

They got what they wanted, which is the MVP award for Embiid, that's their main goal this season.

The big baby got what he wanted. The MVP award. Now, he gets to go home and cuddle with it.

Sorry, dude. Good of you to be straight-up.

I'm a huge Jokic fan myself, but I think Joel will bounce back down the line. I think he made a young person's mistake on focusing too much on getting that MVP and burnt out while adding extra pressure on himself. He will take this failure to heart and make it part of his growth. But dark days in the meantime.

Honestly, this is what happens when you rely on flopping as much as he does. You just don't get the same calls in the playoffs.

There's no coincidence why guys like Embiid, Harden, CP3 and Flop City, Derozan, Lowry (before kawhi) were all seen as playoff chokers. The players who rely on flopping will always get exposed come playoff time.

Embiid had a horrible game and Horford did him dirty. But he won the mvp fair and square. Harden was garbage as usual and Tatum was unbelievable. Not all Embiids fault. Boston’s defense today was the best ive seen in a long time.

Respect for showing up, brother. Don't even think about basketball for a while, it's the only way you'll start sleeping OK again. Cheers.

Pretty easy to crap on Embiid right now, that injury must have had some part in this right? 4-6 week injury and he soldiered on, would he have been better off just sitting out so people stop showing all these stats to make him look bad.

The morons who are using Nash's name to measure something for being worse than something else, should be ashamed of themselves. He carried that overrated team for years, he made Stoudemire look like a million bucks even though he was highly flawed players. Nash well deserved both of those MVP titles and he was as well a very good play off performer .

Specifically, Nash really proved it in the playoffs both of those years by upping his stats big time and going to the Western Conference Finals both years (the second year with Amar'e out for the season). He lost to very good Spurs and Mavs teams but even in those losses there were plenty of injuries and funny business that happened to the Suns.

Nash consistently raised his level of play in the playoffs so I'm not sure why Nash is the parallel here for whoever tweeted that.

He was a plus 11 vs the spurs individually and his team outscored the spurs in 6 mostly very tight games overall too. I think he got **** up a bit facially in that series IIRC.

There was nothing wrong with his movement , he was blocking shots , moving literally well but he was missing shots that he was making in regular season . The same jump shots ,he was missing in the paint etc. That has nothing to do with him "being" injured. There is a thing called play off pressure.

Some fans and media personalities with amnesia were labelling Jokic a choker because he lost in the first round last year with his #2 and #3 scoring options not playing.

Jokic may end up top 5 all time

We'd all be riding Embiid's dick if we were Philly fans. We troll each other for fun.

3 MVPs in a row puts you in GOAT consideration

I am not comfortable with that until he wins a chip

I'm ok with Embiid winning the award even though Jokic is the better player

If Jokic can win the chip this year then he can get all the MVPs he deserves another 2 3 or 4 in a row
