    Anyone with a son just felt those emotions right now

  10. SquidTwister

    Arthur is named after his late brother that passed while Embiid was rehabbing

  11. JustGottaKeepTrying

    And before that genuine smiles. Nice to see someone so clearly happy with an award. More like this please!

    can not imagine how emotional this has got to be for him, will love this dude forever

    Didnā€™t really care about the MVP race this year, but glad Embiid won after watching that.

  14. ThatInception

    That is one cool dude. And kid haha

    Congrats Embiid. Well well deserved

  15. Jordanwolf98

    Beautiful moment

    Congrats to the Big Man

    Is that his mom? Sheā€™s dripped the fuck out

  17. Mad_Cowboy

    Flash forward 25 years and Arthur will be picking Joel up like that after winning his first MVP

  18. ScotlandBarnes

    Alright no hiding, who was chopping onions in my house while this was going on?

  19. HamNCheddaMD

    This is up there with ā€œyou the real MVPā€ as my favorite MVP moments ever

  20. Feelscreative101

    His son is named after his little brother – whom he loved dearly and was super close with. His brother wanted him to be an NBA star more than anyone, and it wouldnā€™t be a stretch to say Joel sees flashes of his brother in his son.

    Super touching moment, made me tear up a bit too – congrats MVP.

    I do have to say tho, I was kinda surprised that Embiid didn’t give a shout out to his coaches and/or the 76ers organization.

  22. SuperVaderMinion

    Ugh, the way he kinda spaces out when his son starts running towards him, gut punch.

  23. Zashiony

    Embiid also named his son after his late brother Arthur. As if you needed more reasons to be emo.

  24. girlfriend_pregnant

    Embiid to Son – ā€œArthur, you are the real MVP trophy.ā€

  25. Fladap28

    Arthur was named after his late brother. Man this is crazy emotional

  26. DieselLegal

    Nuggets fans sharpening their pitchforks rn

  27. Toast2Carnage

    A scene so touching, even one of us was moved to post it. Congrats to Embiid and a beautiful moment… Now excuse me while I go repent

  28. Xodia444

    Remember when people didnā€™t mind any of ā€˜ā€˜em winning but since itā€™s Embid now the trophy is meaningless šŸ˜‚

    Having a 7 month old I can safely say, I was never prepared for what having a child does to you emotionally. It’s amazing.
