The entire NBA ecosystem seems to have unanimously decided that there’s no shot for Embiid to win consecutive MVPs, especially after this year’s playoffs where Embiid underperformed, while his most direct competitor established himself both as a champion, and as the top-dog in the league
But the one thing NBA has consistently proven, is that it’s very tricky to predict (notwithstanding the Warriors superserum run), and there very well maybe a future where we’re watching Joel Embiid hoist up that award once again come May.
So what do you guys think, realistically needs to happen with the Sixers, Embiid himself and the rest of his competition this regular season, for him to win a second MVP?
Average fucking 50. That’s not me saying he shouldn’t win no matter what, that’s me saying the voters will refuse to give it to him unless they have absolutely zero reason not to. Any flaw in his season and he won’t even finish top 5.
Sidenote, anyone who still respects media awards must be living under a rock. Kendrick fucking Perkins has a vote.
