Liv Moods discusses why Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic deserved to win the MVP award over Joel Embiid of the Philadelphia 76ers. Later, she breaks down why Embiid’s injury should not be used as an excuse for his poor play in Game 2 vs. Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics in the NBA Playoffs. Liv closes the show by sharing why Russell Westbrook and Patrick Beverley should not get a championship ring if LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers win the NBA Finals.

This is why we can’t take woman seriously in sports when you come with dogshit takes like this 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
not only cuz jokic allready got 2 in a row… remember a certain someone bringing up jokic skincolor being the reason he gets mvp?
thats way too racist for me to ignore….. jokic was leading the league in over 10 advanced stats at certain points in the regular season.
the only thing embiid was leading in was points… give him the scoring title and be done with it… why MVP?
jokic had more wins, more rebounds, more assists, was more important for his team etc.
Dope shirt!!
Embiid and Jokic played a game this year. Jokic was dominated. Embiid won because he was the best player in basketball this year. As to the record without him…doc rivers sits Joel and James on nights the team can do so and still win…against bad teams 🥴
MVP has always been about whose had the best season, its never really been most valuable. its always been narrative driven
It was close but they simply can’t give it to someone 3 times in a row.
Jokic MVP x3
Your show is dope! i like your energy. Go Nuggets
Lmao. Hater.
You just echoing what yo Massa told you to say. Doesn’t mean nothing.
Who will be.more remembered
The media created this monster when Jokic won the award last year as a sixth seed. If didn’t happen then this whole story would be an issue.
Embiid is the stat padder. Ive never seen a guy his size literally drop to the ground when flopping numerous times a game. If jokic played in a big market people would say hes already one of the best the best ever.
Embiid dropped 57 on jokic tho and I seen he drop 50+ 4 times and he leads the league scoring with a better record
Idk this person, but I like this person.
Are you a Sagittarius?
Notice they got a black person to say this. Whites are too scared of being labeled as racist for saying jokic deserved mvp
thought you were going to talk about injuries and i didn't hear nothing later on in the vid?
Harden was robbed of 3 mvps by white voters, but y’all are made jokic gets robbed of just 1. Wow
"If you're injured then you shouldn't play" … maybe the dumbest fucking thing I've ever listened to… 2023 sports media is so bad that we've gotten to the point that we're discouraging players who are willing to play through injuries for their team in the playoffs?!?! Cowherd definitely hired this girl watching her content on mute 🤣🤣
So true
With MVP up for grabs, Embiid dropped 50 on jokic. I like both but Embiid went and took it. Stop crying about it.
youngster so i'll let ya bad takes go .
Joel is way more entertaining to watch
Embiid we all know was camping for this title. This is nothing but a pity award given to him. He docked the smoke when it was time to play in Denver 😂😂🤔🤔. Nuggets are winning the Championship this yr and Jokic will win Finals MVP
Joel average 22 points 7 rebounds 39 flops
5:32 you mentioned its the first time someone runs for mvp 3 times, that it hasnt happened before. Larry Bird won 3 MVPs back to back to back. It happened
Did Jokic deserve his first MVP? I wonder why they didn’t give it to Giannis?
She's right
She just said she don’t feel embiid is very valuable this year to the sixers 6:32 . Wow this the worst take I ever herd . How is he valuable last season but not year ? Look at the +/- ( a stat that literally proves value ) look at that production , look at the double teams . The sixers cannot win without Embiid cmon smh.
To keep it 💯 Giannis should have one the award 5 years straight . A player that absolute cannot be replaced .
Even with the 2 MVPs if the Nuggets had closed the season aggressively Jokic would be 3x MVP.
Who were the teams the sixers played when they went 11-5? See you have to put context with stats. A homer .
Biased he shouldn’t have gotten it last year so either way it don’t matter
When Ja Morant played against the Lakers with a visible hand injury, was he not injured because he decided to play? The argument does not make sense and he had a huge brace on his leg. How do you say he wasn’t injured . He was on the injury report as questionable so the argument does not make sense.
Everyone knows joker is the real mvp
It’s because he is white just keep it real
The sixers shot 20% from 3 in game 2 that’s why they lost the game lmfao. They just be giving anyone a microphone
Born in 98??? 😂😂😂 Yeah… Im out.
98 baby chill I'm jealous ranting about Jokic is my dream.
NBA should just create a rule to make it simple: no one can win MVP 3 years in a row. It has to be someone else.
is the truth ever really a hot take?
Joël embiid is MVP 😂😂😂 he deserved
