after the first straw poll came out and jokic was far and away the favorite for MVP, the talking heads went to work pretty much as a whole. including the typical embiid pandering and "people dont like me" speech.

and again, i am not here to say who i think shouldve won and who shouldnt. either of the 3 mentioned were well deserving.

I think the multiple Twitter feeds regularly putting out Jokic defensive lowlight videos had some influence as well.

Winning mvp is a kiss of death.

Philly not winning a title: confirmed

exactly. while not on twitter, i do watch and listen to a TON of basketball tv, podcasts and radio...

when that first straw poll came out, the tide swung away from jokic to embiid AND continued thru the second poll.

at that point, the nuggets couldve went undefeated and jokic had 20/20/20 triple doubles and still would'nt have won it.

embiid did interviews and begged for it once again with the whole "people just dont like me" spill.

it was NASTY

Embiid did also put 47 on his head and regularly cooked him in that one matchup. That changed some perspective too

I mean campaigning does work. Maybe he can finally stop complaining about it

Warriors in 6. Too much shooting. Too much math. elpablo21

 

[aepps20]

Embid deserved it but how the media got involved with guys like Perk was not cool

 

[Blue Mamba]

Funny how people are saying all of this AFTER Embiid won mvp. Y’all just didn’t want to admit it was foul when it was happening

Someone left Jokic off the ballot entirely.

GSW in 7.

But back-to-back 7 game series leaves them tired next round and they lose in 5 to PHX/DEN

Sabonis being on that list is criminal and yes Jokic was robbed of his 3rd MVP
