He’s league MVP in my book…. Jokic is good, but feel Embiid is just a tad better this year.

That foul merchant shoots 12ft a game, he's the C version of when Harden won mvp. Barf.
👀 Fire Frank Vogel.

That Jokic mvp is gone…Philly and Milwaukee have been the best teams in the league after the all star break…one of Giannis or Embiid will grab the mvp…I’m thinking Embiid.
Embiid is due. He's not overly aggressive like Ayton. ;)

Giannis takes even more than Embiid…would you go Jokic?

Yeah. Best player on the best team in the West. I get voter fatigue and wanting to give Embiid his flowers, but I don't think he's been better than Jokic.

I think Embiid is deserving. Philly has a better record than Denver and his defense is better than Jokic’s by a wide margin.

Then by that logic, gimme Giannis.

Just not an Embiid fan tbh.

Definitely an argument for Jokic…I just don’t want him to win. I think Giannis is the best 2-way player in the game, but I think Embiid is more likely to win

Same... Curious which way the voters will lean this year. I'm also curious how much weight is put into that players team record... If the MVP went to Jokic, Embiid or Giannis I don't think anyone would really complain with any one of them being the winner.

This board gets too upset by players who seek out contact while at the same time ragging on Ayton for avoiding it (which I do plenty of).

I think there’s a difference between Embiid/Giannis and Harden/Doncic. The first guys play with force. The others bait the refs.

Take it easy with the nuance. Some of us have a narrative to protect.

Austin Reaves seems to be turning a corner this past month. He's a bit old for guy who's only been in the league for two years (24), but I think he could lead a bench unit on a contender. I wonder if he'll get more than the full MLE (~$11M) this summer.
