Joel Embiid MVP Case

[Nike D'Antoni]

I think Rivers elevating him to that status. Do you believe this case?

[fourkicks44]

It's real early but he has to be the front runner right now.

But as everyone knows at his best he is as good as any player in the league, his problem is staying healthy and producing consistently on court.

Right now he looks in great shape and rejuvenated under the Morey/Doc regime.

I'm worried about his shoulders tho. Injury is possible as he has to carry Simmons every game.

Why? MVP is usually from a team with the best record

19-20: Giannis(Top seed)
18-19: Giannis(Top seed)
17-18: Harden(Top seed)
16-17: Westbrook ( as retaliation from media for Durant joining Warriors)
15-16: Curry(Top seed)
14-15: Curry ( Top seed)

Case dismissed:no:

[tanibanana]

I don't like Embiid. And I don't want him to win it.
But considering just this first very few couple of games, it is fair to say he has a strong case.

First, doubt he sustains it, together with the Sixers. Second, other stars will very soon catch up.

[GOBB]

It’s 6 games into the season. How on earth is MVP front runner even typed? Jesus you guys sound ridiculous. And he missed 1 game at that.

[Nike D'Antoni]

"You know who the best defensive player in the world this year is? I think Joel Embiid. I think he's been the MVP of the league so far."

Max Kellerman

[Real Men Wear Green]

I believe that Tobias Harris won EC Player of the Week. While I believe it should have been Jaylen Brown I will accept the judgement of the voters and concede that that makes Tobias Harris the current MVP frontrunner.

[ZionDunks]

Elite but will never sniff an MVP. It’s painful to watch this huge lurch even move and he’s definitely having a good season. Enjoy him now because his shelf life is short.

[Manny98]

Allen is about to destroy him tonight

[Mask the Embiid]

Allen is about to destroy him tonight

you dont even believe that.i guess that game vs rudy gobert really puffed your head up. I guess you forgot about 2 years ago? You will remember soon enough, if the doctors' clear big wiggle to play.....gonna rag doll that boy around like a cane corso with a shih tzu in his mouth


This is no kawhi....The doctors literally ban him from playing back to back in hopes that he cools down like a overheating muzzle on a gun....who knows what would happen to the opposing center if he wasnt reigned in....

That's why i don't think he's better than giannis

Wait... EmBum might not even play tonight?

Ducking the Fro I see, wouldn't blame him after seeing what he did to Rudy :roll:

btw Allen is a completely different animal from two years ago, have you seen how much muscle and size he has gained since then?

[Manny98]

lol Allen put EmShrivels MVP hopes to bed in a single night :oldlol:

[HBK_Kliq_2]

76ers were the worst road team in the league last season if I'm not mistaken. Still pussys on the road, doc hasn't changed that. Can't even beat nets without Irving/Durant wow hahahahha

[theballerFKA Ace]

How many teams have the Sixers beat that made the postseason last year?

It was a back to back game.

What does that matter? Silly question.

[fourkicks44]

Is Ben Simmons from Thailand?

[Nike D'Antoni]

Joel Embiid: 37 points, and 11 rebounds in a win.

eMVPiid

[Axe]

If he leads the sixers to best record in the league then he'll probably have a shot at that.

[GOBB]

But but but Jokic has already surpassed Embiid!!

[Manny98]

Philly fans getting gassed over beating the Timberwolves B team :lol

[Micku]

In terms of players who are playing the best right now, it's definitely Embiid and Jokic imo.

MVP race, it's between Embiid and Kawhi for me.

Derek Bodner: Joel Embiid is out tonight with back tightness. (https://*********.com/social/) #sixers

Do you have to play a minimum number of games to qualify?

[GOBB]

He will still get more votes than Rudy

[Xiao Yao You]

He will still get more votes than Rudy

yeah Conley will take away from Rudy

[GOBB]

yeah Conley will take away from Rudy

If you think Conley is getting votes you’re a fool

Also Tony Bradley is not a backup center. He’s 3rd string. Tuna can getting worked tonight. But but but his offensive rebound average

[NugzFan]

But but but Jokic has already surpassed Embiid!!


Yeah, and?

[Sulico]

Jokic is obviously better, this fact is established in the media now, not only in stat nerds circles. And Denver is winning.

If PHI gets 10 more wins than DEN I can see Embiid getting more MVP votes than Joker, otherwise he's not even MVC (most valuable center).

NBA MVP so far: Joel Embiid.

[Chick Stern]

Take a look at Curry. His team has a similar record to the Nuggets, he’s playing lights out with a much suckier supporting cast, and nobody mentions him.
Beyond that, while I find Jokic’s improvement amazing, and Embiid is doing great, my vote would be for LeBron.

[HBK_Kliq_2]

Every eastern conference player should be eliminated from mvp by default. What a craphole.

[Manny98]

EmBum getting clapped by the Blazers .... Again :lol

Not my MVP

Yup. The East is so bad.

Not my MVP

Meanwhile it took Jarrett Allen 4 games (4 losses) to score more than what Embiid did last night. Yikes

[GOBB]

True give it to Donovan Mitchell or Rudy Gobert.

Yeah the guy who avg 16-5 in 29mpg as the leagues MVP. Rofflecopter

EmBum with another empty stat performance in a loss against the Sun's :lol

I will literally never watch basketball again if Embiid ever wins an MVP

[HBK_Kliq_2]

76ers were the worst road team last season out of the teams that made playoffs. This year, they still suck on the road despite no fans. MVP can't even play away from his home court or he starts crying again like 2019 round 2 game 7 hahahaha

[TheGoatest]

But how can that be? 100% of LeBron haters agree that he is not MVP. :oldlol:

He had 35. Bench was out scored 49-20. Try watching games before running your mouth?

No sign from Jarrett Allen? Yikes. See you in the AS game bud

Allen is 4 years younger yet has already played more career games than EmCripple

Yikes :lol

The second Philly face a half decent team they got destroyed :oldlol:

I watched entire 2nd half. Ben Simmons was vastly disappointing.

I told you to dump him for Harden. Too late now.

[fourkicks44]

Dario was too good.

That is still classed as a win for me.

[GOBB]

Yikes :lol

Yet embiid has scored more pts in one game than Jarret has in 4? Lol let’s continue to ignore how there’s levels to this. And Jarrett is way below Embiid. And sadly he will never be as good. Forget being better.

[GOBB]

He held Booker to 13 pts. The bench was put scored 49-20. Tobias with the second unit didn’t try to gun with the second unit. Meaning he was just out there instead of taking charge getting buckets.

But yeah let’s mention Ben Simmons 2nd half. And ignore the reason we lost. Bench scoring was non existent. Real simple. Houston was not trading the sixers harden unless it was a Matt Stafford like deal which is absurd. So time to accept that fact. Houston was not doing Morey any favors.

[Manny98]

Scarier than a DNP, yep :lol

Won't be long before EmCripples body breaks down again and he gets injured especially with how hard he is going recently

[Nike D'Antoni]

The case is getting near closure.

[GOBB]

You keep wishing for injuries. You should be wishing Jarrett Allen helps wins game which sadly he doesn’t. So sad.

If Sixers can get the best record Embiid will have a BIG case

[TheGoatest]

His team's last three opponents:

Jazz (24-6)
Rockets (11-17)
Bulls (12-16)

Guess which game he chose to sit out, and which two he didn't?

[fourkicks44]

Why reveal everything against the team he is going to play in the finals?

Joel playing 4d...

[Nike D'Antoni]

Embiid needs to stay healthy, and play as many games and the award is his to lose. The Lakers will be the 5th 6th seed in some time without AD, Lebron will be disqualified.

[LBJ]

Close it back.

[Nike D'Antoni]

NBA.com has Embiid as number one.


This is going Embiid vs Lebron

[TheGoatest]

:oldlol:

Only 3 teams above .500 in the entire conference right now.
Meanwhile all 8 playoff teams above .500 in the other end.

With Embiid being thoroughly outplayed by LeBron and not being even the second best player on the Sixers in the game. Double yikes.
And going by matchups, Carmelo Anthony is the MVP over Embiid. Triple yikes.

Last three games before the All-Star break:

Embiid vs Allen/Drummond

Embiid vs Sabonis/Turner

Embiid vs Gobert
