Damn. Came in here to shit on the Joker on some Steve Nash shit, but looked at the numbers. That cat lead his team in EVERYTHING by far. I was just discussing Lebron doing that on this board.

Mind you, that's off just numbers. I don't follow Denver so don't know what the squad is without him. Are they a lottery squad? Fuck is the center(no matter how good a passer) doing leading the squad in assists(8 a game)? :smh:

Hard to argue Embid though.

But which squad is lottery without their guy. Hell, I can say with certainty without Lebron that 2016 Cavs championship squad wouldn't even make the fucking playoffs, yet no MVP for him.

Which team is closer the (insert superstate) and the musketeers?

No more MVP's for lower than 4th seeded teams. Injury situation be damned. Awarding the MVP to somebody laying on a beach somewhere in the 2nd round while other teams still playing is dumb. Statiscally most top 4 seeds advance out the 1st round. I get it's a regular season award but damn
Why would it matter what playoff seed you are in? I honestly don't get the logic.

I don’t think he was robbed. Joker put up some sick numbers.

In my opinion, they should have gave it to Embiid simply because his team had a better record.
I think Jokic is the right choice. Embiid is deserving, Giannis too. But Yokic earned it too and most importantly on a lesser team. Giannis is on a championship team. Philly stacked, the rook Maxey might be better than everybody on Denver outside of Jokic. Jokic led his team in scoring, rebounding, assists and steals. So I give him a little leeway on playing D, but keep in mind he has more steals (& rebounds) than Embiid.

philly is NOT stacked at all...they traded any bench they had to get Harden... I dare someone to tell me that curry and drummond couldn't have been a big help in this series?

Which team is not even in the playoffs without their main guy? How far out would the team be?

That's all I want to know.

Usually a lower seed is getting bounced in the 1st round. More times than not. For instance, they just awarded the MVP to a dude that is sitting at home and it's only the second round. MVP aka "Best Player" in the league ain't even playing. That's wild.

The voting is done before the playoffs.

Yeah that means nothing imo. I could see if he didn't make the playoffs then I would agree.

You just get out? You're not familiar with how Jokic plays the game? He's a playmaking center. They literally run the entire offense through him. You didn't watch None of the Bubble games at least. Are you aware that their star PG tore his ACL last season? MPJ missed the whole season too. He has the stats he has because he HAD to do everything.

Lol I'm messing with you(sorta) but without Jokic, Nuggets battling for top 5 lottery pick.

Embiid still my MVP pick because of his impact on the ENTIRE floor. He effects the game on both ends which as an effect on that win loss column.

After looking at the numbers Jokic does have better stats. Embiid has more of an effect on defense so I probably would’ve voted for him.

Sometimes Bomani tries to outsmart everything on the side of "white", just because. Jokic ain't got shit on Moses Malone. Stop it, Bo.

Embid deserved it, but Giannis is by far the best player in the league and dominated the last month on offense AND defense. No way Joker had a bigger impact vs either of those two, and his team was a fucking 6 seed in the weaker conference. White justice :smh:

Two time, back to back, MVP sitting at the crib after round one, is fucking ridiculous.

I swear man. The audacity of that nigga to tell someone what their point of comparison should be. No nigga, the back to back part is important! And you using a non back to back superior player from 40 years ago wont change that nigga!!
Giannis gets away with so many offensive fouls... it's disgusting
It is man.. Nigga tried to tell me thats just how Bron play tho.

Feels like I'm out of the loop with that team. I can't argue with you on any point.

A top 5 lottery pick team. Shit. When I looked at that teams stats, shit was crazy. He is so far ahead of his fellow teammates.

Embid is a beast and couldn't be mad if he got it. Love how he has come back to help his squad against Miami. Damn if those foot problems didn't happen he'd have been a Cavalier.
