For those of you who don't remember the hit-piece interview Embiid did before ducking a H2H with Jokic:
"But then again, he won as a sixth seed in the West. And then this year, I'm leading the league in scoring, I'm doing all of these things defensively … I should be making an All-Defensive team too. I don't care, but every year it's something. And when you add analytics into it, which don't make sense. You can talk about analytics all you want. When you got some guys in the league, the eye test tells you that they're not good defensively, but analytics tell you they're the best defenders. That's when analytics don't make sense at all. I don't make the rules, I don't choose whatever criteria that they use, so it's really about whatever people's preferences are."
Here's what Nikola had to say about Embiid and the MVP race:
“I don’t think about MVPs anymore. I think people are mean in saying Embiid shouldn’t have won it,” Jokic says. “If you watch it, I think he was playing extremely tough basketball the entire season.”
Mr. High Road! When they go low, you go high.
