Dear MVP Voters: Embiid is still plenty worthy, too

Giannis Antetokounmpo, March 31 vs. the Brooklyn Nets: 44 points, 14 rebounds and six assists with a .749 TS%.

“I’m the MVP.”

Nikola Jokiu0107, April 3 vs. the Los Angeles Lakers: 38 points, 18 rebounds and six assists with a .708 TS%.

“No, I’m the MVP.”

Joel Embiid, also April 3, vs. the Cleveland Cavaliers: 44 points, 17 rebounds and three assists with a .632 TS%.

“NO, I’M THE MVP.”

Yesterday’s performance by the Sixers big man was a reminder to writers and voters that he is just as worthy of the NBA’s Most Valuable Player Award as Antetokounmpo or the Joker.
