Embiid is the MVP…jokic has been great but the east is by far better and tougher this season.

But Jokic, but Giannis, just shhh people. Give the man his damn MVP. 3 years straight and ya’ll still trying to find any reason to not acknowledge this level of historic greatness.

Philly’s pace is absolutely awful. They would be fighting for a Play-In spot if it weren’t for Embiid balling out of his mind!
