Don't wanna hear Embiid is better than Jokic

[nomansland]

If Jokic were clearly better we wouldn't need an overreaction thread in the middle of a blow out.

I bit my tongue all season, trying not to wade into these silly arguments, but I gotta say that this time the Embiid nephews deserve every bit of ***t they're getting right now.

I'm just sick of the media these days...news, sports, politics...They are all liars and frauds.

I mean how hard is it to just give mvp to the best player in the league?

They can't even get a simple sports award right because they are so full of their own ****.

[pontius]

I don't want to hear about this crying bum in the same conversation as Jokic until he can prove he can step up when it matters. He's exclusively in the KAT category of centers until further notice.

This madness started with people being livid about Embiid being 2nd team, well guess what, there was a time when Shaq, Olajuwon, Robinson, and Ewing were in their prime, and one had to be cut. Life is not fair.

[dautjazz]

Embiid is playing thru an injury. His movement mobility is quicker springier during the season before his injury.

Unfortunately, a criteria voters should take into account is availability and being dependable, both of which Embiid is not.

[Exp0sed]

Was never truly close between the two.

Shades of Messi-Ronaldo with how 1 side has a giant PR push and fanboys arguing constantly to make it closer than it is.

not at all

while considerably a tier below Messi (for their entire career) - CR7 was the real deal as far as second best and has personally been resposible to the highest degrees of personal and team success

Joel is a career loser who isn't even the 10th best player in the league

the analogy is way off, it was never between Jokic and Embiid
Embiid has been shutdown every playoffs in his career, when his foul baiting and stat padding aren't relveant - he doesn't have that much to offer - CR7 was a beast. true, not as good as Messi but still a beast

Joel is a manufactured fraud designed to reel in the huge African market

[baldur]

the way he plays, the way he talks about his teammates after every loss. smh.

the guy is just **** unlikable.

[Jables]

It's not just Jokic. You can disagree, but in my opinion, all TOP 3 EU boys are better playoff performers than Embiid.

Undeniable but I think we can give Doncic some **** for not even getting to the playoffs, lagging on defense, FT's and fitness is like the 3 signs of not putting in work to improve.

You can't call him a fraud when hes been playing thru injuries in the playoffs.

lol, that's the funniest thing I heard today
first of all, Embiid himself said that he was fine and he was moving just fine and elevating just fine

you realize that most of the C's points were scored on Embiid, they hunted him like i've never seen a team hunt anyone
on top of the dreadful defense, he had 1 assists, 4 turnovers (as always) and shot 4-16 from the field

if he were THAT injured he should have sat on the bench lmfao
he was fine, he broke down mentally cuz he's a mental midget. maybe not a 100% but that's playoff life for ya
the Joker is playing thru a pretty annoying wrist injury all season (still bothering him now) - that's the life of an NBA player

Embiid was a huge fraud long before this season but him getting the MVP lol, made it into the all time biggest fraud and the worst MVP in history

shamefull stuff. this dude is first team all-nba over Nikola frigging Jokic - you can't make that s*** up

Better than Jokic? At this point he's a whole tier below Booker.

I don't think one game should be used to significantly change our perception of a player. Embiid and Jokic were rightfully debated all season. Starting a "see I told you" at precisely this point is a vintage RealGM overreaction.

[Jcity08]

Embiid post game remarks after getting his ass handed to him in an elimination game, just seals the deal for me on any debate. He's softer than a bowl of pudding.

Except its not one game. Read the tweet a few posts above yours. Embiids playoff numbers habitually decrease when compared to the regular season. Were talking about averages here

Ouch. That's an embarrassing record

[_NoMas]

Jokic averages more points, rebounds and assists, and shoots more efficiently from the field, from 3 and from the free throw line… but you know, advanced stats and all that

you forgot better defense (and leadership!)

Jokic's defense in game 6 was pretty good, Joel was the weakest link in Philly's defense in game 7 - he was hunted and abused, and not just on the perimeter either!

Amazing that in this game alone Embiid got cooked worse than Jokic ever has.
