[@jehushaphat]

Had Embiid played the whole season, he'd be close to a lock for MVP as his team has the best record primarily because of him. But he hasn't played the whole season, so he's not even worth consideration. As far as true contenders go, I think Giannis actually has better overall stats than Jokic, but he's won it the last two years and his team is now 3rd in the league, down from 1st last year. Giannis has also failed to capitalize on that MVP by not even making it past the eastern conference. Meanwhile, Denver remains 3rd as they were last year, and Jokic's stats are better than they were last year. For that reason, Jokic should get MVP.

All while barely cracking the top 20 in usage rate. 26-11-8 while shooting 57/41/86. We're witnessing one of the greatest offensive seasons of all time, not just by a center, but by anyone.

So let’s get this straight. Embiid plays in the eastern conference. Has 2 dpoy candidates on his team, has one of the best playmakers in the league, has Dwight Howard as his backup, has Tobias Harris to get 20 every night. And yet, they are 2 games over the nuggets record. Missing it’s second best player, and multiple other starters and key bench players. You gotta be kidding me man. Jokic is so much more valuable and contributes so much more to winning than embiid. Joel can put up numbers, but his points are empty. He can’t lead teams to wins.

Yeah even when Embiid was leading the race Jokic was not far off. Honestly even if Embiid stayed healthy I think Jokic would have made a late push to make the race even closer, almost a toss up. Regardless though they are both incredible players. Without Murray, I don't think Denver will be able to make the finals, although I do think they are capable of maybe surprising people and reaching the conference finals again depending on where the Lakers are at in the playoff bracket. Even though this is probably wishful thinking, I would love to see a Nuggets-Sixers finals THIS year, but it could definitely happen within the next few years.
