[Im Still Ballin]

Jesus.



Did that interview dissing Jokic today but then decides to duck him? Come on, man.

[Vino24]

Embiid ducking Jokic like he ducks the conference finals

[highwhey]

damn. ducking jokic like OP ducks touching grass

[fourkicks44]

That is a huge "f#ck you" to everyone right there

[Real Men Wear Green]

That is a huge "f#ck you" to everyone right there

He just cost himself the MVP award and likely ended any hope Philly had for a top 2 seed.

Including his fans. Don’t you wanna see that matchup?

[RogueBorg]

That's this era of soft AF athletes. They don't want to compete and beat eachother, they want to play together.

Lebron and Durant are the poster bois for this era.

Giannis needs to show them the way.

O well. They weren’t gonna vote for him anyway.

No, we already seen the outcome of this matchup . Some people just refuse to accept it


Troel with the coup de grace troll to the voters. One last fk you. Man this mf is the greatest

They were never getting to 2 seed anyway. 3 seed was more than guaranteed.

Joel has just told the voters to go stick their award up there ass.

I want to see the match up, sure. But gotta think big picture too.

O well. They weren’t gonna vote for him anyway.

Pathetic

[Im Still Ballin]

Embiid has now sat out 14 games this season. Shaq used to lose MVPs because he missed similar amounts of games.

This will be Joel Embiid’s 14th missed game of the season. Just one player in NBA history has missed 12+ games and still won the MVP award that season - Bill Walton in 1977-78, who missed 24 games.

If he came out and dominated? He sure as shit would have been voted for. In reality, if the sixers won with Embiid giving it to Jokic his MVP is locked up.

Now? He's just pissed people off by denying everyone a matchup they're been looking forward to for weeks. Not a good look and could sway some people who previously would have voted for him.

Embiid throwing in the towel before the 2nd round he don’t want that ass whooping
