In 2023 Joel Embiid was awarded a sympathy MVP. 18 months later his team is last place in the NBA

Interesting perspective

It’s the truth and it’d be naive to pretend otherwise with how spoken he is even to his own detriment.

He deserved that award, but media sympathy to him also contributed to it.

Hell, both him and Jokic were the exact reason why All NBA voting changed even if it screwed other players in the process.

The man clearly cared. Some things he probably should’ve kept to himself though.

Kendrick called out the racial element to the Jokic narrative and that flipped things in Embiid’s favor. If it weren’t for that Jokic probably wins 4 straight MVP’s.

That popcorn MVP that Rose got was purely because these crackas in the media were mad at him because of "The Decision"

Please

How the fukk was LeBron MVP when his own teammate was putting up 25, 6 and 4 and they finished with a worse record than the Bulls? His third option averaged 19 and 8 which is more than the Bulls’ second option (Deng and Boozer both averaged 17). Also, Boozer missed 23 games and Noah missed 34 games. Rose was winning games with old ass Kurt Thomas starting games for them.

All year these NBA media crackas kept suckin off Rose

"Oh he's so humble. He's just a kid from Chicago"


They did the same shyt in 2014 with that goofball KD.. They felt sorry for his ass too

How did KD not deserve MVP that year?

KD - 32, 7.4, 5.5 (59 wins)
Bron - 27.1, 6.9, 6.3 (54 wins)

By that “logic” last year was a sympathy MVP for Jokic after all the whining about Jokic not winning in ‘23.

“Sympathy” would indicate some sort of compassion for Jokic, but that couldn’t possibly be the case given he had already won MVP (twice) and just came off a title run.

Interesting perspective

Interesting perspective that you barely post about hoops except when it comes time to hating on Jokic.

Because he's not a better player then him

Yeah Yeah I know MVP is not about that blah blah blah

He put up better numbers and won more games, with Westbrook missing 36 of them. Harden was on Houston at the time. What are we even talking about here? He basically led a team with Serge Ibaka and Reggie Jackson.

Smoking dope, Dirk MVP> D Rose MVP

I'm not smoking nothing but this argument. The MVP is a regular season award. Dirk was not better than Rose. Period.

Embiid and his fans turned the MVP race so toxic that year, man. Hope the "Here, nikka. Damn" MVP award was worth it
