I'm happy for Jokic. Guy has been great for a few seasons now.

IMO was always the MVP over Embiid

And Kendrick Perkins didn't have him in the top 3. Man should never be allowed to vote for the MVP Award again.

He needs to spend some time in the sun, before KP will vote for him.

 

[ChesoBulldog]

MVP vote to Embiid was fair. He had a better regular season than Jokic, particularly the last 6 weeks

Kendrick Perkins needs to be banned from having any opinions on the NBA in general

 

[ChesoBulldog]

It’s a real blight on the eastern conference that Miami made it this far. They are a well coached team, but they’re not a finals team.

I think there was definitely a conversation to be had, but i think Jokic impacted the game way more and led his team to the 1 seed in the west, i think even Giannis had a case for it

 

[CQDog]

Eat a dick Butler and the Heat

Ultimately I agree, but Embiid had a much better regular season hence getting the MVP.
Jokic and the Nuggets clearly played at 50% to finish the regular season because they had the first seed wrapped up and they wanted to peak at the right time in the post season. That they did. Jokic led points, assists and rebounds in all of the playoffs. That’s crazy!

Yeah its insane, crazy that even after winning the chip he still probably wont get the respect from the 'experts' on ESPN
