I wonder if this motivates Morey to make a move.

[akajae]

Ain’t this the second time this season that happened to Embiid? Was it the same knee?

 

[kingfoamnyc]

This all but sews up LeBron's legacy MVP

I doubt it . Sixers management still believes Embiid is the Process and have to trust it. as great as Embiid's potential is, his lack of proper conditioning and ethics would be his downfall. even the Bulls made a mistake into believing that Rose could return back to the way he was, even with the help of rehab and surgery. Embiid might still be able to achieve his full potential with proper motivation. otherwise he would end up just like that Bynum guy that was suppose to become the next big thing for the Lakers.

 

[sneeker]

did Westbrook win any championships though?

 

[addict4sneakers]

Should easily be Hardens MVP

 

[ballinsam23]

Give the MVP to Chris Paul. It’s not even close.

Give the MVP to Chris Paul. It’s not even close.

It was already a bad take and then you slapped “Not even close” to the end of it. CP3 is having a great season, especially given his age but 16 and 8 aren’t MVP numbers, let alone “not even close” type of numbers.

 

[ballinsam23]

MVP isnt all about the numbers. That’s a bottom 5 team without him. Take Harden or Lebron away from their teams and they’re not bottom 5. What Chris Paul did/doing to the Suns is MVP worthy.

To go get Tucker, Bjelica, Muscala yes. To try to swing for something bigger no.

Yea he hyper extended it vs Portland back in February but basically came back 5 minutes later

Wrong. His worth ethic and conditioning *this season* is 100x better than it was before. Man said himself he changed his diet, got a personal trainer and nutritionist and you can see it on the floor. He’s not getting gassed towards the end of games

Man had a baby, got in shape and the front runner for MVP and possibly DPOY but #YALL still want more. Cmon now Shaq

 

[clyde the glide]

Nash numbers weren't too crazy when he won mvp. Cp3 is in the discussion imo. I also think if heat keep improving butler deserves some consideration. They were a lottery team before he got healthy. Giannis also right there but they won't give it to him 3 times in a row.

Bottom 5 team? They finished with the exact same record as Portland & Memphis last year, tie breaker kept them out of the play-in

 

[pums]

If you aren’t in the top 5 in the MVP race at the halfway point of season you are more than likely not getting it. However with covid anything can happen.

Jokic or Dame might just sneak in

 

[lawdog1]

Jokic is still very much in the MVP convo. Nuggets are 5th in the West and he’s putting up these numbers -

 

[pmatic]

Embiid is going to miss enough games that the voters may "disqualify" him from the MVP.

 

[BIG FISH]

MVP is rarely decided by who does “more” with “less” but somehow thats people’s argument every year for who they think should win MVP lol

 

[ballinsam23]

Yes bottom 5. Last year they atleast had a respectable Oubre and Rubio brought them some structure. An inconsistent and soft Ayton plus a gunning Booker sends u back into the bottom 5 with their current roster minus CP.

It was Embiids award for sure, now with the injury idk. He might still get it if he’s eligible. The rest of the candidates aren’t doing anything different than what they usually do. I think CP should get it, his impact this year is MVP worthy.

 

[pums]

It’s gonna be the usual best player from the best team . It’s Bron’s to lose now

It’s admirable but it’s not MVP worthy. Raw numbers and analytics don’t support it. WS% and other analytics measuring his actual effect on winning is lower than last year too. Phoenix ended last season in the bubble playing really well. They are not a bottom 5 team this year without CP3 and getting those other guys back. Look at who the bottom 5 teams are right now. They all STINK.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Yes bottom 5. Last year they atleast had a respectable Oubre and Rubio brought them some structure. An inconsistent and soft Ayton plus a gunning Booker sends u back into the bottom 5 with their current roster minus CP.

What kind of logic is this? they would be worse off with this roster minus the 2 guys they traded for CP3? No ****

 

[amitt5504]

I mean y’all keep calling Simmons overrated. Embiid doing a lot with less

You said Tobias should’ve been an all-star tho and Shake is a 6MOTY candidate lol so not really

 

[BIG FISH]

Should be Harden if we’re being real
