I doubt he wins it again. I didn't support him winning it in the first place either, though, so there's that.
Still, unless Philly is really successful, I have to imagine it lands elsewhere this season. We'll also see how healthy he is.

Let me throw some Embiid love out there, since his fans think I hate him (because of his attitude and injury prone career):
Points Per 75 Possessions, All Time Leaders (since 76'-77)':
1. Embiid: 31.3
2. Jordan: 30.3
3. Durant: 27.9
4. LeBron: 27.6
5. Kobe: 26.8
6. Gervin: 26.4
7. Shaq: 26.4
8. Harden: 26.3
9. Curry: 26.3
10. Dominique Wilkins: 26.0
A case could/maybe should be made that Embiid is one of the top few greatest scorers, on a rate basis, in NBA history. He is the all time leader in career points per minute played in NBA history:
Points per minutes played:
Embiid: .86
Jordan: .79
Gervin: .78
Durant: .74
Curry: .72
LeBron: .71
Harden: .71
Booker: .70
Dominique Wilkins: .70
Giannis: .70

Last 12 games he’s played: Sixers +22.2 per 100 while Embiid’s on court
Last 8 games he’s played: Sixers +29.4 while Embiid’s on coirt
Last 6 games he’s played: Sixers +35.6 while Embiid’s on court (40/13/4 on 62/41/92 splits in 32 mpg)
This is absolutely wild.

Re: Joel Embiid - 23-24 Regular Season Thread - 23 MVP (Part 1)
I have a feeling that the media will be too enamored with his box score stats to give it to anyone else this year. So long as the Sixers remain a top 3 seed in the east and Embiid doesn't miss too many times(say 65+ gp). Luka might have made a run but Dallas has fallen off too much. I don't think they want to give Jokic another yet unless Denver had ran away with the west which they aren't(if anything it looks like Minny will).
