More like 3 in a row for Embiid if he were healthy.

And if Jokic averaged 40/20/20 he would have 4 in a row, how cool is playing the “IF” game hey?

Difference is the numbers with Embiid weren't hypothetical, he was actually producing better than Jokic. Injury being the only factor.

Congratulations to Jokic for being the first non-American to win the award three times.

It's a global game now.

Easier to say after you've won. This whole shctick about him not caring about the MVP is so lame. If that's the case he doesn't care about the chip either, given how much he loves his horses and couldn't wait to get out of there.

He said this in the past before he won his chip. So it is nothing new from him. Actually not once was he crying to media for a MVP like another person has done. I forgot who that was. Anyone help to remind me who it was

Not sure who you're talking about, I don't remember anyone "crying" and asking for an MVP.

You aren't really exposed when you lead your team to the championship a year before

Last year was the weakest finals win since 99 spurs. Cakewalk to finals only decent team they played was Suns who had just gutted their roster to get KD. Played 8 seed Miami in finals. History will view this title as low value and he won’t win another.

Preach.

I'd love for there to be analysis of championships based on regular season/post season strength of opponent. Jokic's chip would pale in comparision, and wouldn't even be top 10.

All I hear is cope. Embiid can't even make it to the conference finals without breaking or losing the series and you're talking about analyzing Jokic's championship :lol:

It's a forum that's literally the purpose of this site.

definitely could be arguments for Doncic or SGA to win it, but can't be angry that Jokic did.

he continues to be great

Yes, so being available and consistently putting up the numbers is key?

Availability.

I dont think any of the top 4 guys are worthy of a heated debate on why they should not have won. there is not a huge gap any way you look at it.

I would have won 5 in a row if I was 7 foot 2 and played NBA, I'm telling you, that is FACT!

As opposed to the other candidates who haven’t done **** in the playoffs.

Luka has beaten a team that won 60+ games in the playoffs

Jokic has never beaten a team with more then 50 wins

He hasn’t done **** either but get a favorable draw last year

2020 Clippers were probably a better team than the 2022 Suns.
