The league two best big men we’ve had in a few years in the league um and look I think with those two guys and Giannis and Luca donic and Shay guildas Alexander all five guys that are the leading contenders for the MVP are also International Players that’s right and

This is gettin' good.
i read this as embiid told jokic that embiid was the. bestXD
That a trick from Dr J book, butter the opponent up before you go for the kill
Embiid: "See you in the finals."
Jokic: "You're not coming in Denver?"
both laugh
Props to 76s they have balled out hard against the nuggets for a couple of games now.
Yeah
Well done Embiid … Can't have the Joker taking your MVP trophy away to win 3 MVPs. It's not right … Next season Giannis will be back and well tuned for his 3rd MVP.
Ooh, Embiid played in back to back games on back to back nights….OMG, that's soooo amazing 🙄….They said it like that's not his job!
Embiid "Did you ask your mom if you can come over yet?" Jokic: "Yes, and she is letting me bring my horsey."
Joel just made him look like a cone in defense
Head to head, Embid always kills him.
marcus morris avoid jokic
NBA best players right now are not Americans 😅 jokic, embid, gianis, doncic n shae
I'm not telling no player they are the best in league after beating them. Joel come on.
Telling a man he’s the best player while you know u finna win mvp is some real dirty work ngl
Trust the process 💪💪💪
Thats a blessing coming from joel🎉🎉🎉❤❤
Instead of telling the white guy that should tell LeBron the black guy
He's better than you, not Giannis
When Embid is making those shots, not much you can do. But nuggets seemed sometimes out of rotation, including Jokic. they were late for a lot of open shots, and phili's defence managed to force a few more difficult shots.
He is a great player but he hasn't won.
The joker has won the title.
Love both of these duos. Embiid and Maxey vs. Jokic and Murray. The best centers in the league with 2 elite Kentucky PGs by their side. 🔥 amazing matchup and love the friendliness and sportsmanship between them.
