even tho the MVP award gets announced later now than it used to, it’s always been recognized as a regular season award so idk why cats are obsessing over teams’ playoff performances as being a “factor”…and please don’t tell me about some random standard that a group of posters held lebron or whoever to 10 years ago

Jokic deserved MVP the same as Embiid. He played 74 games to Embiid’s 68. Giannis played even less games than Embiid. I think they got it right :ld:

There's never been a standard, unfortunately. It's all about narratives no matter who is picking. But for what its worth, the Basketball Reference MVP tracker has a mathematical model that predicts the MVP based solely on past results (with the main components of the model being points, rebounds, assists, and team wins). And based on pure math, Jokic was a heavy frontrunner with Embiid a distant 3rd.

2021-22 NBA MVP Award Tracker | Basketball-Reference.com


So folk who are claiming that Jokic's win would be a deviation from past standards are full of it. By the exact past standards of the last 40 years of MVP voting, without even looking at the subjective shyt at all, Jokic would be the frontrunner.
This is an awful argument. Come on bro. :deadrose:. I can’t even respond to this. Christ. You’re smarter than this. Any model that uses data pre-2004 is heavily flawed.

Negativity (Kayfabe)
Absolutely disgusting. Embiid has the most 40/10 games, led the league in scoring, and didn’t even get much help. Embiid went from an absent Simmons to a broken Harden. No way the voting should look like this.

Jokic media fans are like Yeagerists from Attack on Titan.

Giannis or Booker would make more sense if you're not gonna pick Embiid

The guy who won the scoring title as a center and is a better defensive center

The large majority of the Media is anti-Philly
They always bring up Santa Claus from the 50s and any negative Philly slant they can come up with

They hated the process and so Embiid will never win that award

It's like Jason Kelce said during the Eagles Parade

Dog I hate to break it to you but nobody gives a shyt about the process anymore. I’ve seen a bunch of sixers fans on twitter saying the same thing, and I didn’t even remember the process before that.
