Giannis or Jokic over Embiid for MVP
Sorry Embiid you have been great this season but those other two have been otherworldly

*Jokic this season:*
1. Has the *highest PER* in NBA history
2. Has become first player ever with to score *2000 points, 1000 rebounds and 500 assists* in one season
3. Carried his team without the second and third best player
He is the MVP no doubt 🔥

@Mark Davis
*Jokic – 63 blocks, 109 steals*
Embiid – 98 blocks, 75 steals
Giannis – 91 blocks, 70 steals
Now what do you have to say?

@Denver Fernandes Don’t forget defensive rebounds per game too: Jokic 11, Embiid 9.6, Giannis 9.5

It’s a common trend of big men dominating, they change rules and officiating to cater to guards, then eventually big men dominate again. It’s the circle of life in the NBA.

Yet I don’t see teams making sure to get more bigs to stop these guys.
Any Eastern contender has to worry about slowing down Embiid and Giannis, but like 3-4 teams have that personel.

No “Heisman” moment for Giannis ? Game winning block on embiid ? Step back three to force OT and hit two clutch free throws to win the game vs the nets ?

And every sports outlet was pointing out that block on Embiid too, for emphasizing Giannis’ MVP case over Embiid.

Anybody else wondering why Perk is saying the big man is back when he wasn’t even a successful big man? 🤔

He was never an all star or close to it, but is an NBA Champion and was a contributor to each team he was on and he collects pension checks from the League because he was there for over a decade…so🤔

@Al O. He was a necessary part of the Celtics championship run.
Not being a star and not being successful are two different things.

@Al O. How much of a contribution was he in le to stay last year with the cavs? OKC, I can kind of see. Celtics… meh.. any other teams that he was on aside from those three nope. No credibility. Why? Because we haven’t heard about Perk since his championship run with the Celtics. Not to mention he barely had a contribution there considering he got carried that year because of Rondo, Pierce, KG, and Allen…

I knew this was coming.
Look at this first. Medicine has greatly improved year after year. Steroid hormone drugs giving to cattle, sheep, other meats since the 1950s. Bone Density of newborns is getting higher each year.
So you got that. Then look at society. How people grow up, work ethic, etc.
Most Foreign players do not have America’s luxuries growing up. Their standard of living is tough. The USA has become a bunch of pu**ies who play victim to get ahead.
We have people in the USA that benefit from trashing the country, fake racism, being cool, etc. They get huge contracts, like Ben Simmons $170 million. Many people don’t have a good work ethic today. Less and less of them believe in God.
Don’t try as hard. Have everything catered to them. Basically they are what Giannis said about Ben Simmons when he dunked it in his face: “He’s a baby. He’s a f**king Baby!”
The USA has a bunch of BABY MEN.

When he was first called the Greek Freak, the causal NBA fans were treating him as a “novelty” like a Tacko Fall, Hasheem Thabeet, or Boban Marjanovic. With talent, hard work, and a fighting spirit, Giannis has steadfastly transformed himself into the best player in the NBA.
