INCREDIBLE game from Joel Embiid:
52 points 13 rebounds 6 assists and 2 blocks on a RIDICULOUS 20-25 shooting while also going 12-13 from the FT Line

Locked up the mvp too
MVP
Embiid was absolutely automatic tonight. He’s so insanely lethal when getting the ball in the post. 80+% on TS with great vision and playmaking as well. Every midrange, every post turn. The complete scoring threat against an insanely good team. This feels like the nail in the MVP debate.
MVP imo
EMVPIID
Congratulations EMVPIID
He rightfully deserves to be MVP.
This was like the Westbrook game in 2017. Just absolute dominance against the second best team in the league
Honest question how many guys midrange is better than this man? No more than 3, if that
Giannis and Jokic have been eliminated from MVP contention.
We went from Jordan to Kobe to Embiid man
Is it a triple double though?
His fadeaway is literally unguardable. What the fuck are you supposed to do about that?
No way he doesn’t win the MVP now, he already had a slight edge and he was just insane tonight. What did he miss? 5 shots the whole game and he scored 52? Just outrageous
7 Foot Kobe/Kawhi
This game sealed it. MVP
Damn what a way to cement his first MVP no way Jokic is winning it this year.
Embiid is only the second player in NBA history with his statline or better, and the first to do it since [Jordan in 1992](https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask?q=players+with+52%2B+points%2C+13%2B+rebounds%2C+6%2B+assists%2C+and+2%2B+blocks+in+a+game). If that doesn’t scream MVP, I don’t know what does.
Real MVP shit
BUT HE SAT AGAINST DENVER
With Denver losing to Houston too. Embiid probably just won MVP
not to be overdramatic but i would kill a man for joel embiid
Joel literally has more points than the rest of the Sixers team… MVP
Embiid scored 52 with no made 3’s.
That’s pretty decent
Give him the MVP.
Insane backpacking by Embiid. I think this is the game that should tell the league he’s MVP.
Embiid: 52 points on 20-25 from the floor.
All other Sixers: 51 points on 19-53 from the floor.
Tatum with the big 19 points on 20 shots.
Joel Emick is a man of focus; commitment; sheer fucking will.
I once saw him kill five men at once with an iso.
A fucking. Iso.
But he didn’t get to the magical 10 assists so none of this matters
He was killing it tonight
MVP. He’s firmly planting himself in the top tier of all-time centers.
Meh. It’s only 40 without the free throws.
I think this is really the game that seals the MVP win for Embiid.
The fact that this is only his 3rd highest scoring game of the season is insane. 59 points against the jazz, 53 against the Hornets, 52 against the Celtics
Nuggets fans talking about ducking, looks like most of them gonna be ducking /r/nba until the playoff starts.
Would it be so bad if he won MVP?
If Embiid edges over Jokic in MVP voting, this is the game I will say that gives him the edge.
He’s got his MVP and it’s about damn time!
