Pathetic "superstar" and a fraud who never should've won MVP, should've went to Jokic again, only won cause of voter fatigue and him basically campaigning for the award which is so pathetic.
That and some idiots in the media making it a race war
It was three pronged:
1. Embiid's 3 year media campaign and attacks on Jokic directly (remember, he called out Jokic's defense and said he never won anything in an interview that dropped the same day that Embiid ducked the Denver game last season)
2. Perkins and Smith playing the race card
3. Gatekeeper voters not wanting Jokic to receive an honor they stupidly denied to LeBron and Jordan (neither of them ever won 3 straight even though they should have). It's just like how for a long time baseball HOF voters had an unwritten rule that nobody should ever get 100% of the vote because Babe Ruth didn't, which caused some crazy idiots to actually vote "no" on the first HOF ballot for guys like Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Greg Maddux, Stan Musial, Ted Williams, and other obvious all-time greats of the sport. Shameful.
