Admittedly it was somewhat generous for a #6 seed to win MVP, but in this trying season this man's efforts should not go unnoticed and no Nuggets fan is going to apologize for it.
But it's not an uphill battle when Douchmond gets more respect from the refs for his defense (and his mouth) than what Joker gets for his offense?
Jokic doesn't get 'respect from the refs' for his offense? What does that even mean?
Compare Embiid's FT attempts per game to Jokic's and I rest my case.
Totally different styles of play. I'd say you know this, but it's becoming clear you don't know shit about the NBA.
Pure athleticism is apparently more susceptible to foul calls, and respect from MVP voters and respect from officials is not the same thing.
This is creepy.
You have to move quickly to get foul calls. It’s also harder to draw foul calls playing 20 feet away from the basket.
see if you can understand this. scoring a lot while missing a lot of shots is, in fact, not efficient. Also doesn't help much if the team isn't very good or when you are on the court and/or you lose a lot of games.
It’s pretty clear we are there again. This one will be questioned forever. MVP no longer has anything to do with legacy when Jokic and Nash have more MVPs than Kobe Shaq KD Hakeem etc…
They voted someone back-to-back with voter fatigue? Difference between Jokic/Embiid same as Lebron/Rose?
Yeah he's too in his feels on this, for obvious reasons. Jokic and Embiid are much closer this year than Lebron and Rose were.
He's not wrong in that Embiid certainly a more than worthy candidate and can make a strong case for him. But, hell, voter fatigue would favor Embiid winning over Jokic. This year, if you wanted to give it to the best AND deserving/valuable player it would go to Giannis IMO.
Right, I said above Giannis should be on his 4th in a row. That's voter fatigue.
Yes.....Giannis, Lebron and KD probably could have won nearly all of them the last decade or so.
Curry's second one was legit. His numbers that year were cheat code level and his team won 73 games
Just another example of a fugazi vote. Do they have to be identical to be a poor vote?
don't want to break it to ya, but voting Jokic over Embiid more than justifiable this season. The true MVP/best player this season is probably Giannis.
