The MVP Who Can’t Win: Joel Embiid Exposed 

Giving Joel Embiid MVP title was a mistake. He was best scorer, he deserved scoring title. But MVP title? No.

Lets not forget that when they lose to Atlanta he had 16 turnovers in last 2 games, and throw Simmons under a bus cause he is best at deflecting the blame.

NBA MVP voters should be ashamed of themselves by giving the MVP on compassionate grounds. To Embiid for crying and pouting for an MVP.

Giving him the MVP is like buying a toy for a kid who won't stop crying about it.

The media crucified Jokic even thought his 2nd and 3rd best players were out. He still managed to get to the playoffs. But not Embid his excuses were valid. What’s upsetting is the disrespect has shown to Jokic who on the other hand asked everyone to leave him alone. He should be ashamed

So fitting that two MVPS that chokes in the playoffs in the same team. Embiid saying James Harden and I can't win alone when they didn't show up for game 7 is a sign this guy will always have a reason to blame someone else.

Bro is the opposite of Jimmy Butler. Show out during the season, struggle in the playoffs.

Or simply, he does not get foul calls whenever he gets looked at, as he does in regular season. He scores insane amount of points from free throws. Remove that, add some opposing defense, some preparation from opposing coaches and his inability to adapt and you get realistic picture.

The problem with Embiid is the dilemma that once is an occurrence, twice is a coincidence, but three times is a pattern

My only problem with Embiid is his habit of throwing teammates under the bus when sh*t don't go his way

Joel Embiid is just a regular season player dude always folds in the playoffs.

He cried more the past couple of years not winning the MVP than losing against Toronto

My biggest issue with Embiid is his attitude and that he proved that he will never change his attitude. It really is that simple

Lol jokic won the first title for Denver. Meanwhile embiid watched from home. . What a joke/fraud

For Embiid, it is all down hill from here. He has got his MVP and his heart is no longer there.

Jokic is the 3x mvp and that's what we're going to call him from now on embiid isnt even a mvp to me

The man is just not made for real pressure, is not about the injuries. He can be a second option, but not number one.

Kawahi made Embiid cry. I will never forget that moment.

Instead of the process we should call him the disappointment

Embiid doesn’t have that second gear in him when it comes to games that matter. He can drop a 50 piece or average 33 in the regular season. When the stakes are highest, he underperforms. It’s really that simple.

They fucking rob Jokic for his 3rd MVP Embiid is like crying dor the league to give him the MVP trophy or maybe the league is tired or prevent Nikola for winning another one bit clearly he is the one deserving to ne the MVP and he proved it!!.

Although he won mvp, he’s not better than Giannis or Jokic. Jokic steps it up every time and so does giannis. Giannis against the Celtics by himself without his costar in Middleton averaged 35,14,7 and took them 7 games with a real fight unlike Embiid did. Even harden as inconsistent as he was won the sixers a few games in the series with Boston. He has to be better if not I don’t think Philly can win as embiid being the first option.

Joker led the Nuggets to 2 WCF already in his young career. He did it without having any All Star Teammate, any former MVP as a second star. Meanwhile Embiid, had the luck to have 2 All Stars Ben Simmons and Jimmy Butler and former MVP and 10x All star James Harden as teammates. And still, Embiid failed to lead his team to the ECF.

U can see he was satisfied with just getting m.v.p

Why doesn’t anyone want to go drinking with JoeL? Because he’s only good for one round!

So its safe to say Embid got his wish.... sadly it came at a steep cost

Jokic took his team to the play offs without Jamal and MVP twice and now on track to win it all. He should have won MVP but it’s ok cuz he will win finals MVP.

Brother really cried when he hold the mvp 😂

As a nuggets fan. The biggest difference between him and joker is embiid is completely incapable of making his teammates better. If joker had Tyrese maxey and harris , even Simmons in the east. Its Eastern conference representatives every year. Its an embiid problem. He this generations Patrick Ewing except ge doesn't have a jordan sized shadow he cant get out of.

Excuses excuses step up "MVP" Jokic stepped up

Injuries? Giannis won the finals with knee problems so bad he wasn’t even supposed to play and he won it and had 50 points in game 6

he's an actual stat padder unlike Jokic whose high stats translate to winning

Mark this words, the basketball gods!!! Will never allow a fraud to win shit!

Well him and Perkins can't cry they're way to a championship.

Ok as a Jokic fan I am digging this re litigating of the MVP. Nuggets fans tried to explain why Jokic was more valuable and I think a lot of people are finally seeing that. That being said Embiid had a really good year and he is a very talented player His second best player in Harden mostly let him down in the playoffs and is now going back to Houston because the strip clubs in Philly just aren't up to his par (I don't know that just assuming that is why Harden wants to go back). Embiid is still really talented. But like Trey Kirby said on No Dunks podcast if he wants to win a chip he should go play with a team like the Heat so he does not have to be the #1 option. Which again how can you win an MVP if you can't even be the best player on your own team idk? But the league really, really did not want to give Jok his third MVP.

Worst MVP of all time, hands down. and without he`s whining for three years and Kendrick Perkins race politics campaign for him, he wouldn`t have won. But well i have no issues with it, as he got the award and now he`s stained as the worst MVP of all time.

The MVPity goes to Joel Crying Embiid. He won this MVPity mainly due to false Kendrick Perkins narratives, let's applaud him...

(Joel Embiid's crying at the corner seeing Jokic becomes an MVP)

Sixers have had loaded teams the past 4 years and couldn’t get it done. They’ve shuffled through some really good players. If Sixers had kept Jimmy instead of embiid, they would have had a better chance at getting to the finals, and could of still had an unbroken Simmons.

MVP. I don’t think so. Go Nuggets.

Embiid’s ego and winning drive are more fragile than his body. Sad

When it comes time to play in the playoffs, Joel Embiid is the polar opposite of Playoff Jimmy. Maybe it has something to do with the controversial MVP award that he kept begging for. Was that all he cared about? Meanwhile, Jokic and the Nuggets are on their way to the finals and showing the rest of the world who the real MVP is, Nikola Jokic. That would be so sweet if they win the title and Jokic wins the Finals MVP. Jokic has already proven that hes the real MVP and maybe the rest of the world will see the how the entire Nuggets team have been underrated and under appreciated this year.

Embiid ain’t a real mvp. Pity mvp.

They should’ve done whatever they could to keep Butler. He has a winning mentality and is a good player to hitch your wagon to.

The Mvp is about who was the best player of that specific reg. Season and has nothing to do with the play-offs. You can win 5 mvps and no title and you can still deserve everyone of them. But Jokic was the best player this reg. Season and should have the mvp

I just don't understand the narrative, jokic has all stats better or at par except the points, and top in WEST with Jordan the only all-star team mate, Yet they still give embid the MVP,

I hate how he throws his teammates under the bus every time. An MVP shouldn’t be doing that.

He got the pity mvp. You’re wild if you think he’s the most valuable player in the nba

Also, that interview he had at the end of the season bad talking jokic while Joker always says great things about him, so much as to say that Embiid deserved the MVP, showed me who Embiid truly is. He is a playoff choker who can’t stay healthy and blames his teammates for his shortcomings.

The Embiid problem high key started in 2019. Everyone should have put Embiid on blast for that abominable performance against the Raptors. He had no problem showboating during his 1 good game that series, but then expected everyone else to believe that he was sick during the rest of the series. 17.6 - 8.7 on 37% shooting with more turnovers than assists is abysmal for a guy who claimed to be the best center in the NBA. The enormous pass he got that year was very telling for years to come. It's an absolute shame that his teammates like Ben Simmons, Tobias Harris, and now James Harden have to take the blame for Embiid's shortcomings as a teammate.

Jokic had less talent around him throughout his career and still managed to get 2 mvps, 3 trips to conference, and a title. People just make too much excuses for him. They baby him like he’s the messiah while being racist and fat shaming Jokic. Dude is just another Karl Malone but cries more

Love the the kids saying Jokic is on a "Superteam" lol the dude didn't even have his second option Murray in 2020-21 season and 2022 and Micheal Porter Jr got surgery on his back and had to rehab if i remember correctly but Jokic still brought Denver to the playoffs

The two little kids in these comments saying Jokic is on a "superteam" have me dying 🤣

I could be wrong but flopping around at 7'1 like your 6'2 can't help that much

Foul merchants dont get as much calls in the play-offs.

Joel has a great example right next to him as far as an MVP who can’t carry a team in the playoffs. Funny how a second round guy doing exact opposite in Miami 😊

Bumbiid really cried for an award and stopped playing 😂

When it's all said and done, only one word will accurately describe Embiid carrier..."Pathetic."

Embiid is an incredible player, but there's a reason they always say "the best ability in sports is availability." Dude's always hurt. It sucks to see, but if it's always how it is, at some point, we have to just say that's the player he is. Someone who plays incredible in the regular season, but immediately gets hurt in playoffs and dips.

Knowing how impatient Philly sports fans can be, I’m surprised they haven’t started a campaign to get Joel off the team

The Ben Simmons sh*t was blown way out of proportion. Completely thrown under the bus when he needed support the most. The man was a walking triple-double without embiid on the floor. I guess only certain players are celebrated for going through tough mental problems.

Giannis exceeded many expectations

Jokic - The Joker Embiitch - The Joke

Combination of things. Poor roster construction as Ben Simmons allowed you to cover Embiid's lack of mobility on defence. Doc's lack of adjustments. Embiid's decision making and trying to play hero ball too often. Harden being Harden. Injuries. It has never been all Embiids fault. But he has never been faultless. Sadly I think the Sixers need to blow it up and start again

Embiid, Harden and Doc... We should have know something great will happen.

Embiid has no post game, that's why all his shots end up being a fade away jumpshot. It's so easy for guys like Horford to anticipate.

at least they gave him the MVP trophy which embiid was all about. spent the best part of the few years incessantly crying about it & why jokic was even the considered. now we just to look at him & revel at how he crumbles to the expectation of an mvp

I will never respect Joel Embiid. The man’s 7 feet and he flops harder than Harden.

It's very likely that his legacy ends up being just an MVP with big asterisk next to it, shame.

I bet Joel doesn't even look at that award...It's like a poison chalice...Pretty much as soon as he had placed it on his shelf at home, virtually every voter realised they had made a massive error, with even his media cheerleaders rowing back their praise on a dime......He knows it, and it's eating him up inside.

Never thought embiid was better than jokic, wanna thank 76ers for giving us jimmy and paying tobias the max. Joel has to be the 2nd he can't be the number 1 he always shrinks. He needed Jimmy to be the 1 now he doesn't have that

Even if Embiid is injured during his playoffs and that is preventing him from being the best he can be, that still ain't much of an excuse. Availability is the best ability.

This video makes me realize that he’s injured every year and honestly this makes me think he’s gonna go down as a combination of Yao Ming and Charles barckley a great player but could never get over the hump and kept getting hurt.

2!!! points in the second half of game 7 against the Celtics. Time to cry for another award next year.

He should give MVP to Nikola and apologize

Most Valuable Phraud

The problem is let's give a brother a hand with Skip ,Stephen A and Perk. That is the deal when your own personal gain overcloud reality and you have influence on media.

PITY MVP, they just didn't want jokic to win three straight lol

Aint no one handing out free throws in the playoffs. Dude sucks.

Embrick

Jokic making everybody look stupid right now

So wait… a guy who haw load managed his entire career while putting on weight, plays a game designed to draw fouls and take contact breaks down every post season around the same time and acores less when refs swallow the whistles? I am ShOCKED

R people still recognizing Embiid as the tru MVP. I think he is anything but. He ducks competition, chokes in important games, throws teammates who scored more than him under the bus. Congratulations… I recognize Jokic as a 3 time mvp cus I can actually see the difference on and off the court…to bad national media’s incompetence affected the vote…

Considering all his critics are asking is a single ECF apperance and still failed to deliver... That is the epitome of lowering the expectation for MVP.

nba only gave him the award because of fatigue....fatigue of hearing embiid cry and knocking to commissioner how he should be mvp. dude can play no doubt. but he is only built for individual success. jokic got robbed. but who cares? we going to the finals ⚒️🗻 embiid can take that trophy and cry with it. yeah keep rubbing it.

The audacity of this Year’s MVP to throw his team out of the bus to save his ass for his piss poor performance in both elimination games against the celtics when you could’ve finished the game in 6. I don’t wanna hear Embiid is better than Jokic because they are of different stratosphere. Jokic is the true MVP and Champion while Jo-L Embiid is a fraud of an MVP. Among Giannis, Jokic and Embiid. The 2 formers are true MVP of their own right because they don’t choke in the playoffs.

Jimmy didn't force his way out of Philly, they decided to give the max to Harris.

What a timing seeing the last part of the vid..joel's loyalty..

He wanted MVP so badly now here comes the criticism that comes with it.

Tatum really been Embiids dad since day 1. 😂

It's fitting that the two MVP overpriced superstar players lost. Every single year in a clutch situation they fold. Just like Doc. The coach who is still riding off the one chip he got. Coaching a super team with 3 HOF players in prime. It's sad that race is reason Embiid won MVP. When you fold in playoffs. Then throw team under the bus. Media after this has to stop putting Embiid in with top players. Never in history has a player won by crying about individual awards. The voters should be ashamed. Regular season awards or not. Scoring is not what makes you the MVP. This I hope gets fixed. So no others get robbed again.

Remember when Embiid got stripped at half court by gallo in that Game 7 when he could have gotten a game winning bucket.

I think you failed to mention how bad Embiid was in the game 7s vs Toronto and Atlanta. He was AWFUL

LBJ sat the last 5 games bc they weren’t making the playoffs. The media would’ve crucified him had he bc it was only to win scoring title. Embiid wouldn’t have won had LBJ who was averaging 35 had played.

Embiid is like the Dak Prescott of the NBA. Hes great in the regular season, hes a stat padder and hasn't made a conference finals.

The year they lost to Atlanta should've been their best chance to get to the ECF. If Kawhi didn't sink that buzzer beater I think they had a solid chance to go to the Finals.

he’s not an mvp . man cried his way into an award and did absolutely nothing right after getting it . JOKIC IS THE MVP .

embiid need to develop playmaking ability next year he might get better chance to win chip

The MosesMalone model is clear to see: Score down low; block shots; be relentless on the boards; do the art of point-point passing above the shoulders. P.S.-- Never bring the ball down low (below the shoulders) for obvious reasons.

I does not say anything that Embiid is the mvp of the league, during the season they are most of the games not playing at a competitive level. It is just a shooting game and the one who has the ball the most like Embiid than scores easy those 33. In the play offs it is an different bal game because they play more defense, not really a lot but more than during the season and then his average already drops almost 10 points. So he is not really an mvp like Jokic who shows that he is the real mvp only nobody wants to know because he plays not that athletic. He just outsmarts everybody, plays with all of his opponents. So Jokic and Denver gonna be the champion, no doubt about that.
