He really had us fooled. Classic Troell
The nugs sub is saying some of the meanest shit about Embiid and I guarantee this will fuel the fire.
Fwiw I think caring about MVP is fine and I sure would to
Which was always super obvious, but this entire sub acted as if Joel lied to them personally
BREAKING: man who plays in the most competitive league of basketball cares about winning everything related to basketball
Lmaooo love this guy
Caring about winning the most prestigious award in basketball history is awesome. Everyone should care. Doesn’t mean Jokic’s nonchalant approach is bad, but neither is this.
[removed]
Nobody believed him anyway
BREAKING NEWS- Man who cried and cried about not winning MVP actually was lying when he said he didn’t care!
Everyone know he cares.
Did a single person on earth think Embiid didn’t care?
I will always laugh at how much Embiid triggers r/nba. Some of you dorks truly hate him with all of your soul and circle jerk your Denver white knight to embarrassing lengths.
Wow god forbid a top talent care about winning the pinnacle of individual accolades. This sub is dumb as hell
If I win it, I care.
If I didn’t win it, I don’t care.
Thank god this shit is over. The discourse this year was far more toxic compared to Harden and Giannis a few years ago.
Some people on here and twitter have an incredibly unhealthy parasocial relationship with basketball players, which is exactly what the media wants.
Why bring up the Nugs in this thread? Embiid won his, Sixers got their guy to win and you still gotta dog on the other guy? And somehow the Nugs are still obnoxious? Lol this sub
As for this post, yeah guy of course you did…
I loved his press conference.
We know Jo. We know.
This is the saltiest thread today. You don’t become a top talent in your respective industry without being a killer. All of these dudes care and if you ever think that they don’t I have some beach front property in Iowa for you.
Dude cried about it every chance he got.
Anyone who thinks players don’t care about winning MVP is delusional. It just comes off as selfish if you’re in a playoff run and show signs that an individual award is on your mind, and gives the media some bullshit narrative to run with. Embiid cares, Jokic cares, Giannis cares. Everyone knows this lol.
He just like me fr fr
You fooled absolutely no one 😂
Bro you cried about it for years.
We knew, Joel… we knew.
Lmfao he’s a funny dude
Damn Joel you really fooled us
You got me, Joel. You sly son of a gun.
Yea Joel, you didn’t fool anyone at all
Embiid might be the goat of caring about the MVP
All the comments in this thread tell me that MVP discourse still has plenty of toxicity left in it.
Just like he left Joker alone when the 6ers went to Denver
lmao i had so many discussions with sixers fans claiming he was not lying
lmfaooo yeah you tricked everyone for sure…
The amount of butt hurt Embiid haters in here is hilarious
If I lose it was rigged
I’m the man if I win
Before settling for a narrative, I took em all for a spin
Did he literally ever say that? I have never seen someone care about MVP more in any sport than embiid
This is the sixers championship
He was rewarded for ducking the h2h matchup against Joker in Denver and missing 20 ish games, but clearly voter fatigue and the campaign for Embiid got too big for him not to get it
