People are still bitching about last years mvp? I don’t even think it’s the biggest robbery in recent memory. I think Harden should have won it over Westbrook in 2017. Westbrook literally won it over Harden that year just because he averaged 2 more rebounds per game.
pokexchespin
that’s right!

Jim Pete’s right. LeBron should have won 5 in a row.
And with the way the Nugs are performing this season, being lead by Jokić, 4 in a row seems highly likely, too.

Here’s a comparison of the top 3 MVP candidates last season:
22/23 Jokic: 24.5/12/**10** on **70.1% TS**, 48-21 record in **69** games played, **+640**
22/23 Embiid: **33**/10/4 on 65.5% TS, 43-23 record in 66 games played, +424
22/23 Giannis: 31/**12**/6 on 60.5% TS, **47-16** record in 63 games played, +341
It’s certainly close but IMO this season was the first one where Embiid was actually outplaying Jokic prior to his injury(35/11/6 on 64.5% TS and a 26-8 record with a worse team than last year) and Jokic generally had a moderate but definitive edge in other regular seasons
Don’t necessarily have a problem with Embiid winning one because he’s had an insane run in the RS but the “Jokic is a playoff fraud” narratives that were popular around this time were always so stupid if you look at the teams he was playing with in 2021 and 2022

Last year was a wash and could’ve gone either way tbh

They’re not wrong.

Voter fatigue absolutely helped Embiid last season. He did have a solid case for mvp tho, even if his foul merchant style makes the game unwatchable.
motherseffinjones
I agree
A_SandlerthaGOAT
If he won last year he wasn’t gonna win this year lol they aren’t gonna give someone 4 in a row especially when there’s so much talent in today’s league.
Saying Embiid didn’t deserve it is crazy though, he was killing it last season. Denver decided to coast or just hit a slump(whichever) while Philly had the hardest remaining schedule post allstar and they dominated it, ended the bucks 16 game win streak and beat Boston with Embiid scoring 50 on like 4 missed shots.
Very few have won 3 in a row and they weren’t going to give it to someone who hadn’t had much playoff success even though it wasn’t his fault.
dnfnrheudks
Could you imagine he does win a 4th one what kinda stats would he have to get to win 5 because that’s goat territory

Don’t sleep on Giannis, but also they’re right.

I always thought the first one should have been Giannis’, but sure

Why does Jokic get this hype for MVPs more than LeBron did in most of the 2010s? Nuggets aren’t exactly dominating the regular season
Edit: Well someone wanna actually reply or you just wanna downvote because the Jokic MVP argument is not as strong as you think it is just because he is humble
Supreme_God_Bunny
The point of glazing lol the only player that has ever had a case for winning 4 in a row is Micheal fucking Jordan and he couldn’t win 3 in row at that

Bro averaged 25-12-10 on 63-38-82 as a 1 seed and they gave it to a crybaby flopper
It was Jokic’s award all year
Jokic starts playing less minutes bc they got the 1 seed locked up and Embiid drops 50 on tanking teams resting their players and they gave it to Embiid bc he cried and Perk started bringing up race
Panik_Switch
Last season Jokic was my pick but I don’t think it was some crazy awful pick to give it to Embiid he was great too.
This year it’s Giannis for me and it’s not close at all. 31/12/6 on 62FG% (66TS%) while playing elite defense and being a top 2 seed. Historic in every way, and when you consider how weak the teams been because of the Dame trade then Dame underperforming plus injuries to guys like Khris, it’s a pretty crazy carry job.

Can’t have some fat white dude winning MVP 4 times in a row
buddaaaa
Wolves announcers know ball
U-casualty
So many Nuggets fans were complaining about the Wolves announcers which tells me no one can ever win

Damn i love them ,they know ball

He should
Blackroseguild
I mean he should win mvp this season and last season playoffs showed he was the best player so I don’t think the point is that crazy
redmostofit
He should have won last year. If Embiid had stayed healthy and kept up his play he would have won this year. So it kinda evens out..
BodegaDaddy
voter fatigue is real. i’m sure if it wasn’t, lebron would probably have caught kareem in mvps and jokic would be getting close to catching it.
Yesboi227
Ya jokic should be on his way to the 3rd now. I really wish mavs was a little higher seed like 5th or 4th cause luka is having an incredible season what he has beeb doing is nothing short of generational.

Lebron also should have one like 5 times in a row in 2010s but voter fatigues a real thing sadly

He should win 4 mvps this season bringing his total up to 6, yes.

I mean theyre not wrong, and in not even a fan.

If you think Jokic was robbed last year but have nothing to say about Embiid being robbed the previous year to give it to a six seed, you dont know shit

Luka deserves MVP the guy is 35 9 and 9.

I’ve come to despise these mvp talks we’ve had every year, even if my guy is winning. Just unnecessarily toxic and just obnoxious to deal with.
