  1. there should be a rule which uses load management against the player and team.
    player x sits out a game. then they must sit a minimum of the next three games. for example they sit embiid against denver. guess what he CANT play against the mavs and most importantly the celtics, with seeding on the line.

  2. Embiid: begs Draymond to tell the crowd he has the MJ's "I took that personally" mentality; also Embiid: chickens out of a duel, a rematch, shortly after the Nuggets had to play the Bucks. I don't think people were printing "person missing" posters with MJ's face at any point in his career.

  3. I hope they don’t try to push this historical narrative against Joel and then fail to acknowledge the historical significance of joker winning 3 in a row without any post season success

  4. I think my real problem is that the Sixers are still fighting for playoff position. They don't have the Number 3 position clearly. So they may drop down even more.

  5. Dan is the best.
    Says the truth not like Colin loud mouth with that other guy. Hype every play now and days. Calling them best of all times. According to Colin calls all of these leagues best ever and the players back then don’t have a Chance now. With leagues with nothing but fouls. 80% fouls and 20 % plays. Haha funny to me.

  6. did your past employer ask you if you were gonna work today? Foolishness

  7. Joel Embiid ducked Jokic 100%. all of you know it🤣🤣 Jokic got my vote now. a 🦆 is no MVP

  8. The worst thing that got me is that they were putting ice on Embiid on the court? Wtf was that? Isn't that a thing to be done in the locker room with doctors? Seemed so fake…

  9. Jokic was injured in Philly. Part of being great is wear-n-tear. Denver Nuggets is #1 and plan to finish #1. Philly is #3 and falling.

  10. For anyone who wants to reference Embiid's game vs Denver in Philly earlier in the year to strengthen his case has to also acknowledge Embiid sitting out was an extremely weak move. If you claim that the games against the other mvp candidates matter, deciding to take a rest night when the other dude gets to play you back at his house is borderline pathethic. And fyi that game earlier in Philly was also Denver's 3rd game in 4 nights on a road trip, same exact situation Jokic played and now embiid sits this one out.

  11. Every white analyst is rocking with Joker ,it’s no way dude deserve 3 mvps he has not been better that Embiid and Greek when both play defense😂😂😂

  12. They brought up his stats and didn’t bring up they almost blew a 22 point lead at home where Joker was a turnstile defensively 😂😂😂

  13. So we suppose to believe Joker was going to have 47 points on Embiid ,I know Embiid would have at least had 30 on him

  14. For the MVP I feel that there should be a stat for "most impact on the game". Meaning, combine; points scored, assists, blocks, turnovers, etc… This would tell you who is the best, no?

  15. Joel might have made his biggest mistake in missing this game. MVP chances could be over

  16. Glad to see you come around Dan! Embiid hasn't played in Denver since 2019. I'm a Denver fan, but I have so much more respect for Giannis now. He came to Denver, battled, and came up short. That's what an MVP does.

  17. Joel Embiid is a wonderful.player but… THIS IS WHAT PPL SAY THAT REALLY ARE JOKIC GUYS. Dan, we already know you wanted Jokic to win.

  18. Dan said if the MVP isn't important to Embiid, than don't give it to him but they'll say the MVP isn't important to Joker.. then why are we giving it to him? lmaooo

  19. Read the comments Jokic the biggest star on the internet. In real life, nobody talking about him in the Barbershops, he not top 15 in jersey sales… but read the comments.. Jokic supporters in every comment!

  20. Sixers 0-2 without harden and the 3rd game was vs nuggets, embid avoided further humilitation and exposure that hes worthless without harden…. Embid hunger for mvp trophy shouldve been the reason to accept the challenge but it went the other way thinking fans wouldnt notice… its official its jokic vs giannis from now on. And as an nba fan it wasnt about nuggets vs sixers, i want to see jokic vs embid, regardless who wins the game..l
