Joel Embiid officially listed by vegas as the favorite to win MVP

[1_BAD_TIGER]

Don't believe for one minute that Jokic is not still leading for MVP, Vegas wants people to place bets. Denver haven't played well the last few games but Joker is still scoring 30 plus is those games and they are still first in the west with a 4 game lead.

It's called the McConnell effect.

All-Defensive First Team selection Jrue Holiday picks McConnell up wide on the wing but can't contain his penetration and is easily beaten.

He gets in deep and All-Defensive First Team selection and former Defensive Player of the Year, Giannis Antetokounmpo realizes how much of a threat McConnell is in the paint. He comes over to help his burnt teamate with a late double.

McConnell finds Turner open to deliver the final death blow.

“Like, I believe—and I know—that people are dominating. So what is the MVP? Is it the guy who scores the most points? Is it the guy who’s the most efficient? Is it the guy who is the most dominant? Is it the guy who is the most valuable?” Antetokounmpo said. “Sometimes, the best player isn’t the most valuable player on the team. Like, I feel like [Bucks center] Brook [Lopez] is such a valuable player for our team. Like [the MVP criteria] just f------—sorry for my language—it just changes. As I said again, I can’t control that. I can control only how I prepare for the game and try to be ready for the game.”

somebody get him a tissue

sounds like he's about to cry

all jokic says is it'd be nice to get mvp but i'm just trying to win games

only to have braindead perkins say he's stat padding

only to have draymond come to jokic's defense over the perkins comments

and gilbert arenas of all people come to jokic's defense about the defense stuff lately

joker stays winning

He says this, but doesn't comment on Jokic's defense.

Embiid is now on top of the Kia MVP ladder.

https://www.nba.com/news/kia-mvp-lad...7-2023-edition

In recent years all 3 guys have played like MVPs. Two guy have won but embiid hasn't, that's why I think embiid will get the nod in a close race.

With multiple players and coaches weighing in, Hall of Fame specialist and former NBA Coach of the Year George Karl has also offered his opinion on which of the two big men – Joel Embiid or Nikola Jokic – should win the accolade. “I don’t want to bad mouth Embiid because I think he’s really really good. A lot of my assistant coaches when he was in Philadelphia when he was a young player, they kept telling me that he was going to be the best guy to ever play the game. I see him moving in that direction but he takes too many possessions off. He has lazy body language,” Karl said on SiriusXM NBA Radio. “He gets angry at things that we don’t understand why,” the coach continued. “I just don’t know if he’s that NBA pro that we all loved because he’s a competitive SOB. From what I know in Philadelphia, everybody says he’s playing great. In games I’ve seen, he played really really well. He’s played great in the 4th quarters, came up with a lot of comeback wins. I can only like one big guy, and I take Jokic over Embiid.”

hard to prove but jokic's biggest flaw may be he doesn't get on guys enough

caldwell pope may be the guy who needs to speak up more which he did recently

[L.Kizzle]

They play next Monday 3/27.
MVP winner to whoever dominates that game.
Should be marked on each calander.
