Lol, I am glad that some people have the same view as myself and just can't go over the cowardice. Giannis is just not close enough and now the voters are really confused

If I had a ballot, it would be Giannis - Jokic - Embiid.

It doesn’t matter, if you look at the stat sheet I posted, Embiid already won.

Embiid had a much better finish to the season than Jokic did and also obliterated him in their H2H matchup. All 3 guys had an argument but Jokics injury and lack of care cost him it. Simple as that. |

Jokic would've three peated if the Nuggets didn't stop trying for 10 consecutive days when the entire NBA world was laser focused on everything Denver and Philly was doing. simple as that.

But focusing on a single game in January with nothing much at stake for either team? |

But focusing on a single game in January with nothing much at stake for either team? When the margins are close, which they were...that game ends up being important. At the time those two were the top 2 MVP candidates and Jokic completely s**t the bed while Embiid played like MJ. The 4Q was as big a disaster as humanly possible. |

The margins shouldn't be close and neither Giannis or Embiid are "deserving"
That's a ridiculous stance to take. They've already given it to Embiid, but neither he nor Giannis have a case.
Jokic blew them both out of the water. It's a full season award, not a "specific 17 day stretch of the season" award. This will be the worst MVP robbery of my lifetime. The stats HEAVILY favor Jokic.

it is a full season award but when the MVP race dominated the news cycle, the Nuggets folded like a cheap lawn chair.
optics matter whether we like it or not.

I already acknowledged they're giving it to Embiid. I understand that the narratives are what has decided it.
But to say that he has anything resembling a legitimate case to win it on merit is absolutely ridiculous. The gap between Jokic and Embiid widened this year, if anything.

At the time those two were the top 2 MVP candidates and Jokic completely s**t the bed while Embiid played like MJ. The 4Q was as big a disaster as humanly possible. Margins were not close even for discussion. Embiid had a better 20 day streach and Jokic was better for 100 days. Coward hid his ass deep in the shi* so he doesn't get fuc&ed same way as Giannis so shame on the voters who voted for him. What is appealing to me is that "so called" Nuggets fans, can go that far to minimize so called "their favorite bb player" in a historic year for Nuggets where they won the West for the first time in teams history lol |

humans are fallible, influenceable creatures. that's why when pharmaceutical companies want people to take their drugs, they don't show results from lab studies, they show Grandma on a rocking chair talking about why ______ is good for you.
you guys must belong to an advanced alien race from a further evolved civilization. welcome to earth.

I won't disagree with you on your take in general. But these are BB analysis who put pride in their work (most of them at least) so they shouldn't be easy to fool by narrative |
