Happy Feet. Wombo Combo! That ain't Falco. Demsun!
Oh, oh! OHHHHHH!!!!
Embiid always gives Jokic the business, this isnt anything new. Embiid is individually the better center….
That was some epic match ups by two former MVPs
The nuggets really don't have a guy to slow Joel down. That is not good in the playoff for Denver.
This game was so fun to watch, good defense, just incredible shot making.
GO SIXERS ❤️💙🏀🙌🏾
Why is everyone hating on Embiid when this looks like a Joel Embiid highlight
Jokic stans punching the air rn
I haven’t seen the scouting report on Joker, but I guarantee it says he’s shooting over his right shoulder every time
Embiid obviously played well, but the fact remains – no owner, president, gm, or coach would take him over Jokic.
Wow Jokic actually played great defense tonight. His athleticism is underrated.
This is the final preview
Embiid playing like the MVP was personal!
Iwhwiwt
Coaches really make a big difference
a 7 game series between these 2 teams would be wild
❤❤😅😅 who cares both centers play great … An MVP stands for ALL around valuable, its not about stats … Ask yourself which which teammates are looking more and more like their star player … No one can be Jokic, but every player can feel like Embiid … Besides Jokic being white, that can be another reason they gave it to him last year
This was a great game. If you’re hating you’re not a real basketball fan
What a GREAT game. Embiid making a solid case for MVP.
Great game the nba needs a sixers vs nuggets finals. Go sixers!
Damn, I 🙏🏽this is the NBA Finals matchup.
Gotta think embiid is going easy on his knee cuz 7 rebounds doesn't make sense. Not when literally all of jokics offense was off put backs. Fully healthy u steal at least half of those n put this game away early
im sorry but I've seen this before with Joel. He gotta do this in the playoffs. Jokic is proven already with his performances in postseason last year. Jokic is the best player in th world till someone dethrones him.
I know who WON’T be MVP. You have to play 65 games to qualify and you have to play 20 mins in those games, you can’t just show up, play 5 and take the night off. One guy has only played more than 65 games 2 times in his 8 year career. And he’s on track to play fewer than 65 this year. I’ll let you figure out who that is.
They both played well. Good game by both superstars tonight ❤
But if the roles were reversed. Jokic is the best he’s the MVP we told you guys😂🤦🏿♂️😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 this is the reason I don’t like jokic. His fans are literally ruining basketball for me. They are like real children. The reason he won 2 MVPs is because the United state of America is 75% white. Embiid has consistently beaten Jokic head up and his average against him is like 33. Yea he need to keep his but Healtht for the offs no doubt. But honestly he can’t win in no way because he’s damned if he does or doesn’t.
Jokic is soft, the whole game he was scared to guard eembid. Soft ssa 😂😂😂😂😂
So who won
joel cant rebound for shiz. all offense
This was such a good game. Despite media narratives, and rivalries between fan bases, it was great to see Joel and Jokic embrace at the end of the game. That’s what it’s all about 🔥💯
E bid doesn’t look like he’s giving maximum effort
Embiid is obviously great.. but he will be defined by his playoff success, whether it’s fair or not
Embiid is having a great season. Only reason he doesn't win MVP is if he doesn't play 65 games.
If you got to watch this game, you can clearly see why Joel and embiid are 1 and 2 in the league.
magnificent
go 76ers go
In play off it fall down in celtics lol😂
Clear cut MVP. Not even close.
Sixers fans soak up this W tonight because after Friday this never happened 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Slowkic fans won’t remember anything trust me😊
That was a great game. Both teams are going to be playoff nightmares. Sixers with a good coach should be a different team this postseason
Of course EMBIID is playing in his own turf. Haven’t stepped and played in Denver 😂
Always a great win when we can beat Denver.
Embiid outplayed Jokic tonight right?! Thoroughly I feel like.
Yall really crying about Joel getting fouls it’s the same thing that happened with Shaq it’s a big man who is tough to guard and he’s going to get fouled and so what if he goes to line he still got to make them remember that
GG Philly. Love ❤️ from Denver..
EMBID COOKED EVERYBODY!!
