Durant says Embiid is the real MVP, voters biased.

[fourkicks44]

"If I had to choose, I would go Joel Embiid. He led the league in scoring, double-doubles, his team won 50 games this year. Numbers were incredible. It's a great year."

"It's unfortunate," Durant said. "There's a lot of players that have been controlled by their narrative. Some of it has been because of the player, some of it just has been because of the perception of other people about that player. In Joel's case, more people just like Giannis and Jokic. It's as simple as that. They just prefer them more than Embiid's personality or his story, I guess."

Wow, KD speaking truth here.

[Shogon]

KD is spewing bullshit.

Jokic's play from the center position is a rarer feat by far in NBA history than Embiid's.

They're both excellent players and the three of them(Giannis being the third) have really basically been the top 3 players in the NBA this year as far as the regular season goes.

Embiid's personality has nothing to do with anything.

[tontoz]

Right, winning 3 more games makes such a huge difference.

I wonder who KD would rather have as his 2nd option instead of Kyrie: Maxey, Middleton or Barton.

[fourkicks44]

Why would Durant say this if it was bullshit?

What are his motivations?

[FultzNationRISE]

Yup.

Jokic and Giannis dont have legitimate arguments. Only Embiid does.

The only reason people would select them is preference for their personalities. Embiid is the only player in the league with a basketball case for MVP.

It is what it is.

[Mask the Embiid]

All the players say Embiid....What would they have to gain from lying???? KD is not in the running for MVP he has no horse in the race.... IF anything if it really was jokic or giannis to them, they could risk pissing one of themoff and have them go off on their team the next time they play them.


now who should i believe? People who actually play against these players on a daily basis or a middle-aged balding man who has never touched a basketball in his life on a competitive level? hmm tough choice....imma go with the actual players....but thats just me

That's an awful take.

I like how his argument is more points, double doubles, and 50 wins. And then doesn't elaborate any further. That's a casual fans take

Yeah lets just ignore efficiency, rebounding and assists.

If getting to the foul line was the primary criteria for winning the MVP then Embiid would be the easy choice.

[Gohan]

If jokic wins mvp aint worth sh1t and that goes for fmvp too. He is just white which is the only reason hes considered. When will the racism stop? I know me and mask the embiid agree on embiid and i would say neither one of us are biased. What a shame we just cant shake whitey

jokic lead the league in double doubles and had 20 more than giannis and embiid

[FireDavidKahn]

LOL.

Jokic leads Joel in every stat except PPG (by 3.5) and BPG (by 0.6)

Jokic also demolishes him in all the advanced stats as well as the normal stats.

[Gohan]

jokic lead the league in double doubles and had 20 more than giannis and embiid

He leads the league in favoritism wins from the refs because hes white too. If youre not going to give it too embiid give it to giannis. Anyone but jokb1tch

[Mask the Embiid]

Who should i trust in mvp voting.....

These people? "JOKIC ALL THE WAY!!!! Did you see the advance metrics post all-star break?"





or these people? "Not gonna lie embiid is unstoppable and kicked our ass the whole game"
