Not to mention "the worst MVP in the last 35 years" comment, stat padding accusations and countless other dumb attacks by the media.

Let me get this straight: the argument against Jokic for the MVP is that he struggled in the playoffs in previous seasons, even though it's a regular season award, that is based on how they do this season. (We all know the real argument against him, but even the fake arguments don't make sense lol)

Not only did Jokić not choke, but he was noticeably better in the playoffs. He's a leader through and through. Couple of points more on average for Embiid means nothing.

Outside players humiliate him each and every game, especially come playoffs.

The reason people cite Jokić's incredible playoff run against Embiid's now signature choke-job is because the principle argument for Embiid is that he's actually the better player. This season proved, beyond all doubt, that he's not even close.

Prior to this season and Jokic winning a championship, they had very similar careers and it amazes me how much the media favors Embiid. Embiid had never made the conference finals where Jokic had, they both struggled through missing teammates for one reason or another during seasons where they were both relatively favored to win their conferences. But all of these factors were somehow used to favor Embiid this year- Jokic’s lack of playoff success (ignoring going further in the playoffs than Embiid), media siding with Simmons issues over Murray and Porter injuries. I’m not surprised , but I am amazed.

The Nuggets werent "struggling" to end the year. They smoked memphis and essentially locked up the 1 seed and started coasting. A couple of the big games in there like vs Milwaukee they'd turn the burners back on. That kind of stuff is what made Nuggets fans red hot in the playoffs.

The other thing is that Embiid keeps boasting that he's the greatest player in the NBA and deserves the MVP and much, much more. He's arrogant and selfish. Jokic and Giannis never behave this way, and they were the ones that played well enough in the regular season to be deserving of a shot at the MVP.

It’s only toxic and has been toxic because of Embiid and his fans. Oh and his propagandists in the media. There really has never been a basketball argument as to why he is better or more deserving of the mvp over Jokic or Giannis. Even the people that finally voted for him this year said it was because he should get at least one cause the other two have two mvps. But he ain’t a better defender than Giannis or better offensive player than Jokic. I’m glad this finals run also finally proved to EVERYONE that the gap between Jokic on offense is massive while the defensive gap is not that big. It’s literally just shot blocking and nothing else. Voters robbed basketball fans of an even more historic run by not giving the mvp to the actual most deserving player.

He shows up, and even when he missed the last few games of the season it was so he could go on a run in the playoffs. Meanwhile, Embiid begs for the ball from Harden at the end of the game to stat pad and cries to the media that he deserves MVP.

I was under the impression Embiid won because of the last month and a half of the season. The voting seems to not align with that. How could it be so one sided when Giannis’s team was way ahead of everyone for most of the year, the Nuggets were number 1 in the West for the whole year? Embiid’s defense was great, but it wasnt so spectacular that it outshined Giannis’s defense. Jokic definitely was not bad defensively this year. Embiid was the leading scorer, averaging over 30, but is that so much more valuable than guys that averages more rebounds and assists with better records? In the case of Jokic, the difference in assists is insane, in the case of Giannis, there’s only like 2 points separating them.

Well done and interesting video, thank you for the good work! I think the players are interested in the MVP race for several reasons. 1.) They are competitive 2.) They probably get contract bonuses if they win MVP 3.) Having the MVP on the resume may help with contract negotiations. Some fans, on the other hand, enjoy the drama. I for one, don't care about any trophy other than the championship trophy. It seems like that was Nikola Jokic's tack this year as well. Even if he had no MVP trophies, I am betting that Jokic would not trade trophies with Embiid.

Honestly, the dip in form for the Nuggets in the last 15 or so games of last season was two things; Jokic coasting to rest his body and Jokic tanking his mvp chances. The narrative had become so caustic (thanks Perk) that he knew if he won, it would get WORSE. All he wanted to do was win a championship for himself, his teammates, his coaches, team owners and fans. The mvp became a distraction and a potential threat to their focus in the playoffs. He intentionally tanked his mvp chances. He doesn’t care about individual accolades and he is good friends with Embiid anyway so let his friend get one while he gets the OTHER MVP award, which he did.

@Solimci Jokic had bigger fish to fry. Exactly, Denver Steamrolled through the West and make the conference finals something Joel Embiid hasn’t done once, to win and make the NBA Finals, something Joel hasn’t done.

The issue is even though the MVP is a regular season award everyone expects your team to go to the finals unless of course you're in a rebuild

Let’s be honest, no matter who won, this mvp race wouldn’t have reached levels of toxic if Perkins didn’t open his damn mouth for clicks, at this point I feel sorry for embiid that this overshadowed the award

Sorry for embiid why? he got an mvp he didn't deserved. I feel sorry for jokic. He deserved to win the MVP.

Embiid definitely threw a couple of logs on the fire after it was lit.
