The Jokic Robbed MVP Narrative IS Nonsense
- Thread starter Roger king
- Start date
Which years were they robbed? Jordan was probably robbed that year Karl Malone won, but that was it.
Funny thing is if we used the “Jokic was robbed” logic these Embiid haters are talking about based on Embiid flaming out in the playoffs, Jokic shouldn’t have won his two that he got
When Jokic won his tho “Its a regular season award!!!”
"Robbed" might be the wrong term but I do think Jockic had the better season.
He don't care, why should I lol. If anything, you could easily frame it that voter fatigue bolsters his greatness. And Embiid not taking the ball and running with it just kinda puts more pressure on him.
Either way, respect to the bigs of this era, both are really special.

jokic should've won last year, his stats/play + being #1 seed in the west
that being said, he won the year before when it should've went to Embiid imo
so it balanced out, the last 3yrs MVP split between jokic and embiid is fair

Its not everyone gets an MVP...there are factors. One is individual greatness. Another is team success. Narrative is another. Have you won before is another. Considering whether or not a dude won before is is no sillier than rewarding a guy because his team is better.
And we cant act like last year was some mercy award. Embiid led the league in scoring avg the most points for a center in 40+ years, his team won more games (in large part because Jokic
ed the stretch run of the RS), AND he hadnt won one. All of those things played a part.
Jordan, Bron, Duncan, Kareem, Magic never won 3 in a row. Kobe, Shaq, Dream only won one each. Jokic will be okay
Russell, Bird and Wilt are the only nba players to win 3 in a row

The #1 Rated Mixtape of all Time
Embiid was the one who deserved the award while Jokic was the best player in basketball. I don’t even understand the point of this thread, we’ve seen that exact scenario play out dozens of times
It’s not a best player in the league award and never really has been explicitly that

The #1 Rated Mixtape of all Time
The first one he got, Giannis was still indubitably the best player in the world and I believe won the finals that same year while Jokic got bounced in the first round. But, Jokic had a narrative working for himFunny thing is if we used the “Jokic was robbed” logic these Embiid haters are talking about based on Embiid flaming out in the playoffs, Jokic shouldn’t have won his two that he got

Narratives are 97% of what that award means
Not even kidding breh, I genuinely think they should rescind that shyt and put out a statement that it’s Jokic’s fr
I know they won’t, but they should IMO
I'm assuming you feel the same about Jokic giving back one of his to Giannis?
I have no rebuttal
