NBA.com slips and calls Embiid Kia MVP; now edited to say “MVP Finalist”

I'm fairly certain the word 'candidate' was omitted by mistake

Don’t get me wrong, I win cash if Jokic wins MVP…

but it would be worth an Embiid win to see the meltdowns on the GB

He locked Bam up, one of their best players in games 1 and 2. No longer allowed to feast on the ghost of DeAndre Jordan.

1: 24/12/4
2: 23/9/3
3: 9/3/1

Can an award winner really be considered sports betting? It's more award betting...

That would be interesting given about the only way that could happens is if virtually every voter who hasn't made their pick known voted for Embiid and left Jokic off their ballot. As long as voters don't leave Jokic off their ballot, it's basically a mathematical impossibility at this point.

I got 20-1 odds on Taylor Jenkins for COY. And of course the NBA is dragging their feet on announcing that one :banghead:

OK...still don't think that should count as a sports related bet

Also someone will probably get fired

I initially though it was a typo, but then there was this...

I'd hate working for you if you fire people over this.

That’s why his username is what it is. If you make an error, you’ll be a forever lost angel :wave:

what? I have nothing to do with whether this guy gets fired, but do either of you actually know how the corporate world works? This sort of stuff gets people fired.

I just made an observation, that’s all.

There's examples of much, MUCH bigger screwups in the corporate world that people didn't get fired for...

Ex. Big 4 auditor who gave the wrong envelope to presenter at the Academy Awards, that was talked about for months...

Not really, it's just that so many fans of other teams love Jokic's game too.
