    And y’all were saying he was crying for an mvp tf out of here he’s playing like he deserved it

    Needs to play just like this in Game 6. Shut down the paint on defense, score at will in the post and at the foul line.

    You can take the lion out of the jungle but you can never take the jungle out of the lion.

    The MVP was MVPing. Y'all can keep talking junk about whether this man deserved the first ever Michael Jordan MVP award or not. You're only putting more fuel in the tank, more power in the battery. 🏀🏀🏀🏆🏆🏆

    I wonder what the Celtics can do to not get fouls called defending him. They stand there straight up and he flails around 15 times a game and gets to go to the line. This is yet another bad shooting game helped out by terrible calls that no other player gets.

    Embiid cried his way to an MVP.
    Don't @ me either, I'm Canadian, I don't have any favorites, except Luka and Lebron.
    But Embiid is a baby. He didn't deserve the MVP at all, but I guess if you cry hard enough, you'll get what you want, like the Karens of the world.

    After tonight's game on the game recap, Chuck told Shaq…

    "This dude, this dude (referring to Jokic), this dude outrun him twice? Shaq what did i tell you?"

    Shaq: "if the Joker outrun me, it's time to retire"

    Because Jokic ran back a few times in tonight's game scoring.

    And that statement obviously shows that Chuck notices how much Jokic is a menace to deal with since he hustles hard.

    Oh fun fact, Jokic passed Wilt tonight to be the all time leader with triple doubles for a center position.

    That's scoring, rebounds and assists…

    Jokic 105

    Embiid 5

    There's a reason why Embid is the MVP – he's really that good.Million times better than Tatum and Brown combined. The Celtics are done.

    Unreal. The way he sprinted down and blocked after his own turnover, with what he's dealing with! God I want this so bad for him and this team. Let's end this Thursday guys
