It Looks Like the MVP Outcome is all but Officially Decided

[Mr Hate Coffee]

arent all the major sports awards voted on by media?

players don’t wanna do that shyt as much as they say they should be the ones in charge…imagine a nuggets player not voting for jokic lol

right. nikkas acting like players wouldn’t be biased af either.

Watch these lame ass nxggas run up in this thread the moment Jokic crashes out against the Warriors, not realizing no other player would be able to beat GS with the same support cast.

Ill be shytting on him the first time he gets cooked in P&R by Poole or Steph. Don’t worry

I’m a nuggets fan and really enjoy watching Jokic play but embiid deserves the mvp this year

Back to back MVP with (soon to be) back to back 1st Rd exits. Disgusting

Edit: scratch that. 2nd Rd and now 1st Rd exit. So 'scust instead

You expect him to beat Golden State by himself?

Embiid career playoff averages (34 games)

24/11/3 on 46/32/80

Jokic career playoff averages (43 games)

26/11/6 on 51/40/84

Weird so many of you are obsessed with Jokic being a playoff failure. I remember him leading Denver to a conference finals, hitting clutch shot after clutch shot. Embiid never got that far. He did cry in the tunnel though. And lose to a trash Hawks team on his homecourt. After getting dunked on so viciously John Collins literally put him on a t-shirt. So let's not talk about the playoffs as a factor in MVP voting.

So tell me who was even close to Steph on his unanimous year? Didn’t his team win 73 games that year? Who was remotely close to him to make an argument? The media had no choice but to make him unanimous.. trust if Bron was close they would’ve gave it to Bron…. it still doesn’t explain why Steph got 0 votes bro, not even 1 vote.. That shyt is egregious and aint no way you can spin that

Perkins' 1st place vote - Embiid
Wilbon's 1st place vote - Embiid. His 2nd place vote - Booker
SAS' 1st place vote - Embiid
Greg Anthony's 1st place vote - Embiid. His 2nd place vote - Luka
Broussard's 1st place vote - Giannis. His 2nd place vote - Embiid.

These brothas must post on TheColi.

Dude averaged 27/14 on 57% from the floor. Embiid was 30/12 on 48%. Embiid shot 11 freethrows a game while Jokic only took 5. Jokic was just alot better offensively....and not far behind defensively. And i feel for Embiid...without a Jokic he's a probably the two time MVP himself. But there's a gap. Embiid is guaranteed to grab one in the next year or 2 tho. His own teammate Harden had 2 second place finishes before he finally won it.

Not really

Interesting reading back through all these arguments on last year's MVP.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Regardless of who you think deserves the award, the NBA MVP being determined by the media is probably one of the most obtuse decisions the sport has made.

Again, like KD said in that Draymond interview: the media knows jack shyt about the game compared to himself and every single other NBA player.

Scalabrine said the same thing: there is so much microprocessing going on the game that the average person has zero idea about it.

It'd be so much more interesting and definitive if the players vote for it because they're the ones who have seen firsthand what player x does - not just on the court, but analyzed to high detail by the coaches during film sessions.

shyt, coaches and coaching staffs would be a better medium.

The consensus of the players last season had Embiid as the MVP, and the same applied this season.

And I'm sure I don't need to point out why they chose him.

You see the problem in having the players vote for who they want as MVP?

You can NEVER trust players whose competitiveness and bias will never allow them to be objective for this sort of thing.

@rbksNgirbauds

Curious to know if your view on Jokic and the MVP discussions over the last few years have changed with what we know and have seen now?

 

[rbksNgirbauds]
