Damn I was sure Bran was gonna get it, no one else had a better story.
I’m glad I ain’t no voter and just get to watch amazing performances every night from these three superstars. They all deserve the MVP and glad to see Joel get his as it’s well deserved.
Respect. Dominant and elite both sides of the court.
TROEL EMBIID
i was here
I mean yeah…
Finally it’s over.
Zhugo your job is done.
Cue the incessant debate all the way into the middle of next season
No one’s ever wanted it more
From where his career started, it’s remarkable
From the meme/twitter guy to a DOMINANT big
Well folks, the MOST MVP race is finally over
So happy Joel finally got his and can be properly etched into this era of big men revival
congrats
As Bill Simmons stated, the MVP award now means less than it ever has before.
International dominance continues – who do y’all think will be the next American MVP?
Sleepy Joel won the very very fake MVP award, when Everyone knows what really happened. Adam Silver didnt have the Courage to do what was Right! Sad!
-Jokic
21! CAN YOU DO SOMETHING FOR ME!
I was at the game in March when Gobert ran Embiid off the paint in the first half, asked him to take contested middies and 3s. Embiid missed none of them, he was 7’1 Kobe. EMVPiid, well deserved!
Great 24 hours for Sixers fans
Walker Kessler was fucking robbed
That’s my pity MVP!
One more MVP and he’ll be officially eliminated from future MVP races
I remember in the middle of last decade everyone was saying the big men’s era was gone. Now we have a 5 year streak of big men winning MVP. What a crazy stretch
*takes a deep breath* Jokic is awesome
I feel like Frodo after destroying the ring
didn’t play the first two years of his career and nearly retired when his brother passed away; he’s overcome unbelievable adversity throughout his career and i’ve never been happier to see a man rep my city with every ounce of his effort and being
Im just glad that we have amazing trio Giannis, Jok & Embiid now with MVP awards… Feels right and complete I dont know how else to describe it, congrats!
People are going to say a lot of nonsense and say this was voter fatigue. But the man went off this year. Incredible year, and deserved MVP, just happened to be in a year where there were 2 other people who would have deserved an MVP, but people in the future are going to act like this was some kind of robbery, and not a coin flip. Which is going to be bullshit.
Game 1 vs Boston showed how valuable he is to 76ers. Celtics were just scoring easy buckets in the paint. Celtics collapsed and Harden went back in time to secure the win, but his lack of presence was felt.
Wish to face 76ers in the finals for true face off.
Shoutout Cameroon!!! International players are running the NBA. Proud of Joel, man.
3rd straight time someone from the 2014 draft class has won it
76ers fans crying tears of joy rn
One of my worst takes in 2015 was saying KAT was going to be better than Embiid and Jokic. Oh how times have changed!
Announcing the MVP in the middle of the playoffs is weird to me. Instead of this news dropping after the regular season and Embiid getting the praise he deserves for an outstanding season a lot of people are just going to say “meh, Jokic is better he just stepped off the gas to be ready for the playoffs or he would’ve won MVP” because of how well Jokic is playing right now.
Maybe now he’ll shut up about it
