Give me those defensive stats again. Those are my favorites! In that analysis, Steph Curry is a better defender than Draymond Green because carry the one and divide by the pimple on his ass and then work it through the average of the celsius grade in the Colorado Rockies on December the 13th.
The 6 seed in the weaker of the two conferences is having the better season? Interesting. Why do you think PPG is something I focused on in my argument? I'll give you a hint. The game of basketball has changed. We may never see again a Center who leads the league in scoring. It's pretty fucking impressive for a 5 to lead the NBA in scoring.
It isn't even the stat itself that matters. It's that it's unheard of for a Center to lead the league in scoring these days. Jokic won MVP because Embiid missed too many games last year. I'm fixated on a holistic approach to who the better player is. As I've said many times, both guys are elite offensive players who impact the game in different ways. One guy is an elite defensive player and the other guy is just a guy on the defensive end.
I never said he was better LOL. That really has nothing to do with winning the MVP. I am basically saying he is right in the thick of race and you seem to think Embiid is running away with it, which isn't the case. It seems you are taking any credit away from Jokic as you can...winning games is more difficult with 2 of your top 3 players, just sayin.
Vegas disagrees
Very well and bc Jokic won it last year. Hard to win it back to back
Especially because the player won it last year because Embiid and others got hurt.
Hard to win back to back, in most cases they are giving it to the guy that didn't win it. Keep taking credit away from Jokic though
Embiid wasn't going to beat him out last year...others probably had a chance though
Meh....go find my post last week arguing that All NBA 1st team is a sham because both Embiid and Jokic are top 5 players this year and yet only one can make 1st team because of dumb self-imposed rules.
Doubtful. Embiid missing 20 games was held against him.
Fixed it for you
I'm a teacher. I see kids "greatly improve every day". But guess what? My kid that struggles to write and gets better isn't Ernest Fucking Hemingway, haha.
I mean Jokic is already the best passing big man of all-time...I mean think about that, pretty crazy. I will say I haven't been the biggest fan of Jokic but what he is doing is simply amazing. He has always had great vision but now he is unstoppable offensively and he is playing very good defense too, on ball and off ball.
Why? Is that not part of the game anymore? You're not going to go to the foul line much if you're playing 20 ft away from the basket.
