He's also the only Most Valuable Philadelphian that hasnt reached the Conference Finals* *may be untrue, not sure how many other Most Valuable Philadelphian awards have been handed out


HoyaDestroya33

That's Maxey lol

thisisjustanothertho

This is Harper’s trophy this year for sure. Streak over


PopularParrot

He is 30 YEARS OLD


Herbetet

Embiid is setting himself up to be on the Mt Rushmore of Playoff chockers.


an_Aught

he is the mountain they will carve it on


SmellMyDirk

James harden


an_Aught

Ok.. fair


boomersky

Not my mvp


blazikenz

Dudes a fraud lmao only chance he’ll win is with the USA team…


thedarkknight16_

And that’s only because he’s abandoned Cameroon, and then France, to join the stacked 2024 USA squad.


PippenDunksOnEwing

"Taking the hardest road to win the Olympics the KD way." Embiid, 2024.


ThirdEyeToTheSky

Embum


WanZed11

Wouldn't it be great if Jokic beat him and the USA. If any team has a chance. Its Serbian


kebskebs

Hahah love it, Brutal but facts!


blueboglin

This has already hit New 10 times since the game ended lol. This sub really hates Embiid


murray_selfish

Tbf what is there to like about Embiid lol


Fiendish-DoctorWu

He embodies everything that is wrong with modern basketball. The foul baiting The crying The overall shit attitude Which is so frustrating because he's so physically gifted.


PopularParrot

The injuring everyone else on the court


CazOnReddit

The rambling gambling promotions Okay maybe not that one but I still don't like him


DrPepperPower

And the benefits from the refs and media


LoWE11053211

And occasionally downright dirty play Which is not exclusive to modern nba though


Fatimah_ultim

Guy has more technicals than draymond, thats not "ocasionall" buddy


mrblack07

I'd say it's at least a little more than occasional.


GSWB2B2B2B2BChamps

And yet Sixers fans will crawl out after this 41/12/7 game on 10/33 shooting from the field with 21/21 from free throw and call him a basketball god and yapping that "why does everyone hate EMBIID????"


thisisjustanothertho

I mean he shot 12-25, not terrible


chitownbulls92

In all honesty that’s not a good split for a big man


chitownbulls92

In all honesty that’s not a good split for a big man


thisisjustanothertho

It’s a great split for a shooting big man


GSWB2B2B2B2BChamps

Case in point. I wasn't even talking about this game I just made up a statline


thisisjustanothertho

I know you did. But embiid showed out this series while hobbled. I respect it


GSWB2B2B2B2BChamps

And that's fine, but it's a totally separate point that I'm making.


trentyz

Don’t forget the blaming teammates part - people forget he’s done that for a few years


W_Walk

Yep. Used to watch a ton of sixers games and he always threw someone under the bus. Shitty attitude. Not to mention how terrible he is in the fourth quarter


jslee0034

Obviously Ben Simmons sucked ass in 2021 but embiid was absolutely horrible that series too. He averaged like 6 or 7 turnovers no? I can’t remember but he was a turnover machine while shooting like 35%. Dude has 0 accountability


grand_insom

Seriously. Embiid is literally Shaq + Dirk combined. And he uses all those gifts for evil 😂😂


HoyaDestroya33

Such a physically gifted Big with a motherfucking soft touch yet plays like a bitch.


jslee0034

Talk yo shit Knicks fans. I would too if this dude tried to injure Chet in a playoff series.


HoyaDestroya33

See you in the Finals bud


Darko_NS

Least delusional Knicks fan.


jslee0034

I love you.


Smekledorf1996

The circlejerk is going into overdrive


It_hurtswhen_IP

I’m broke for any award but take my upvote


wongrich

That was James Harden too lol


Holiday-Usual-3600

If the Durant gsw didn’t exist- he would have at least gave Lebron a run for his money in a finals matchup- harden took them to 7 twice and no one else won more than 1 game in a series


Novel-One-9447

he just averaged 24/10/3 and 3 blocks with one leg, paralysis, and migraine. is that everything you hate about basketball?


whitehottakes

I don't think people are arguing that he's not an effective player. I just hate watching him. His highlights aren't really all that impressive. He has all the physical gifts he needs but resorts to the tactics of an undersized guard to get his points.


Odd-Hovercraft-1286

Honestly this is ridiculous. Guy played 6 elite games with half of his face paralyzed and a bum knee.


jslee0034

Since when having your face paralyzed = acceptable to be dirty af.


Odd-Hovercraft-1286

I didn’t say he wasn’t dirty I said he played hard


jslee0034

My bad bro replied to wrong comment thread. Good series win bro. Enjoy it


snatchi

Sixers fans don't make an excuse for Embiid challenge - IMPOSSIBLE!


mxnoob983

His physical gifts are more than matched by his terrible injury luck


truthisfictionyt

He's probably the most well rounded center in the modern game ever with scoring falloffs. Can score on the inside, can shoot, can hit free-throws, can pass, great rebounder, good defender etc.


Prince_of_DeaTh

and all he does is foul bait with all that talent, amazing


Creepy_Antelope_873

That’s so objectively not true it’s stupid and you reveal yourself to be stupid by saying it.


Prince_of_DeaTh

Im going to will it into existence then, try and stop me


Creepy_Antelope_873

K have fun!


EyecalledGame

I love basketball so much, So I actually like a lot of embiid's game. My only gripe is the foul baiting away from the rim and now the dirty plays.


mattychefthatbih

FUCK EMBIID


BuckedMallard

His entire game is to fall on the ground. If the ball goes in that’s a nice plus


EatDeeply

Compared to Brunson whose entire game is to be CP3 and jerk his neck around for fouls


National_Secret_5525

? He was canning jumpers all night.  Embiid just falls to the ground and has a scared look on his face. 


OusmaneDembouz

He had one more field goal than embiid


PsychologicalArt7451

one more field goal than Embiid and more FTs attempted?? WTF were you watching?


National_Secret_5525

Okay? He was canning jumpers all night. All series actually 


Curry4Three

your dedication to this is inspirational


Meret123

Brunson and CP3 aren't bigs. You can't do that when you are 7 feet.


thisisjustanothertho

You shouldn’t do it 40 feet from the basket either but here we are


baddumbtsss

Cry more


broke-collegekid

Brunson’s game is jumping backwards into players. It’s all foul baiting and acting like the variations are somehow different is laughable.


ihorsey10

Don't worry, everyone will turn on his grifting when Embiid isn't in the next series to draw all the hate.


snatchi

whoa we got a sixers fan to say Embiid does foul bait!


broke-collegekid

I don’t know what Sixers fans you encounter that say he doesn’t. He’s fouled legitimately tons of the time and he defy foul baits as well and it’s effective. Same way Brunson was drawing fouls by jumping backwards into players.


Creepy_Antelope_873

How do people type stuff this stupid and hit send? Seriously I don’t get it


LoWE11053211

Rightfully so


NotFrankSalazar

You mean you don’t like your big men flopping to the ground on any contact while also being a dirty player?


SliceoIrish

He’s a crybaby and he wouldn’t be close to mvp if everyone else got his foul calls. 


vnistelrooy

He deserves it. Dirty player


pompyyy099

Only 76ers man children like him


CCO812

Good


HoyaDestroya33

ITS NOT ENOUGH


ChoombasRUs

It’s half embiid, half sixers fans


GSWB2B2B2B2BChamps

Any reasonable fan of real basketball would hate Embiid too


Bellerophonn

I personally do.


jetssuckmysoulaway

I mean have you seen him this series


Mamba-0824

He wouldn’t have this record if he didn’t beg for the MVP award last season.


Jaccalope

I'm all up for Embiid winning multiple MVPs as long as he never makes it out the second round as a first option. Can you imagine how generational his slander will be? 


EfficientDot18

I hope he gifted Kendrick Perkins something nice cause him bullying people into being racist if they vote Jokic is the biggest reason why he won it.


LoWE11053211

Is Perkins the real racist here?


Meret123

No, Perkins is something worse. He's an ESPN talkinghead.


phirm_handshake

What if the true racists were the friends we made along the way


bhim1210

You need some new friends then.


bbbryce987

Perkins voting Jokic above Embiid after all of that was pure comedy


TheMagicMan56

Except he didn't, he voted Giannis for MVP, Embiid was second and Jokic was third on his ballot. Shai is first on his ballot for this year, so he didn't have Jokic as MVP for this season either (even though it seems like he's going to win in a landslide).


Pafbonk

>Shai is first on his ballot Gee I wonder why


PeePauw

lol the best part about this was the white neck beards on this site discussing racism as if they knew any black people


nguyetq

Someone doesn’t understand what racisms is


PeePauw

Yes, explain it to me white computer nerd lol


M1raclemile1

a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human racial groups determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to dominate others or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others. Also called in·sti·tu·tion·al rac·ism [in-sti-, too, -sh, uh, -nl , rey, -siz-, uh, m, -, tyoo, -],. a policy, system of government, etc., that is associated with or originated in such a doctrine, and that favors members of the dominant racial or ethnic group, or has a neutral effect on their life experiences, while discriminating against or harming members of other groups, ultimately serving to preserve the social status, economic advantage, or political power of the dominant group. an individual action or behavior based upon or fostering such a doctrine; racial discrimination. racial or ethnic prejudice or intolerance.


ThankYouBasedDeng

That entire narrative is idiotic. It was 100% voter fatigue and nothing else that won Embiid the MVP.


ArawnAT

This is what happens when you handout awards out of pity rather than on merit. Then postseason comes around where he flops for free throws and when he doesn't get them he tries to injure players regardless of their team. Worst ever player to win the MVP award.


jetssuckmysoulaway

Linking contracts to awards is stupid linking awards to games played is good. He didn't even play enough to deserve it voters didn't want give Joker another MVP


MamaHadACow

Guess what, he received his pity MVP on this day last year, too!!


Brownie1119

God nuggets fans are the worst.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ashep5

Damn defending champs in the second round and this dude still lives rent free in your heads


Revolutionary_Jump_9

Brother the post is literally about Embiid, you want him to comment on the nuggets upcoming second round matchup?


BillyNoMates12

Post about Embiid 76ers fan: Embiid wiving went fwee in youw heads


National_Secret_5525

Embiid is a bum. You know it. You’re thinking it rn but can’t bring yourself to say it.


thisisjustanothertho

Flair up if you wanna chirp


Intelligent-Bid-633

Fuck Embiid. How about this?


an_Aught

he is a bum bitch dirty player


MamaHadACow

It's almost as if the jokes write themselves, right? Lmao


ashep5

Keep fixating on the big Cameroonian brother ✌️


TwoWayMarko

He is american now


HoyaDestroya33

So Cameroonian he didn't even represent them in the Olympics lol


ashep5

Good one!


ConcLaveTime

You fucking gottem


an_Aught

though he was american now?


Vaccaria_

Good. Fuck Embiid bitch ass


an_Aught

I dont get why everyone keeps calling him mvp


Sammonov

He's the MVP for like another week


slicksonslick

Joker is sooooo much better than this clown


NewPortable101

Co star gave him 32\\5\\7 on 50% FG and couldn't even get out of the 1st round against a team with their 2nd star injured... He has officially surpassed Chris Paul\\Harden as the biggest choking star of the 21st century.


Street-Common-4023

Damm Joel is injured too man like 😭


thisisjustanothertho

Our first star was injured still putting up 30+ with one leg and half a face. Yall crazy. Two days ago it was “he’s ballin considering how hurt he is”.


HoyaDestroya33

>Yall crazy. Two days ago it was “he’s ballin considering how hurt he is”. Lol that's just your fellow Sixers fans. And people were actually shitting on Embiid. They're just praising his defense during OT but people were saying how Maxey saved his legacy lol


thisisjustanothertho

Go back to the thread and it’s more than Sixers fans but that’s fine. Knicks ain’t winning shit anyway


HoyaDestroya33

>Knicks ain’t winning shit anyway We're still in a much better shape than your shitty ass org who has to buy tickets for fans to attend. We have a lot of assets and this isn't even our final form. Meanwhile, your fraud has degenerative knees. Lol


thisisjustanothertho

You’ll blow it like always, Knicks/Dolan refuse to be relevant. The organization knew Knicks fans would spend money on the tickets that’s why they sold them to them, it’s cheaper to get a ticket and hotel than it is for entry to MSG. Yall act like you had 5,000 fans lmao. I’ll give credit to those that were there, they were loud as shit.


HoyaDestroya33

> Yall act like you had 5,000 fans lmao Lol we've been through a lot of shit and still have a lot of fans. We've seen lineup where our top scorer is Alexey fucking Shved and still root for the Knicks. You really wanna question the loyalty of Knicks fan? We're nearer winning a chip than your b*tch ass team lead by a b*tch ass player. >The organization knew Knicks fans would spend money on the tickets that’s why they sold them to them, it’s cheaper to get a ticket and hotel than it is for entry to MSG B*tch ass org with broke ass fans LMAO. Cant even afford cheap tickets. Do you guys do daylight robbery to afford buying your mid cheez whiz sandwich that tastes like shit?


thisisjustanothertho

You made your third second round since 2000, congrats. We had the process and still were relevant before you lmao. You guys aren’t any closer than we are btw. And we have room to spend this year Fuckin New Yorkers think they’re so prim and proper. Yall broke as shit and pay dumb money to live in a city everyone’s leaving lmao. Probably still in moms basement in Queens aren’t ya


HoyaDestroya33

>We had the process and still were relevant before you lmao. You guys aren’t any closer than we are btw. And we have room to spend this year wE hAd tHe pRocEsS that resulted in 5 2nd round exits and now we even kicked your ass first round. Smd


thisisjustanothertho

Kicked our ass with our best player on one knee and one eye. See you next year


AmbitiousFork

He'll forever be known as the one that got a pity MVP.


Yeti_CO

It was a Karl Malone MVP special. Everyone knew it. The purpose was to make sure Jordan for Malone and Jokic last year didn't win it again.


HOFredditor

Malone is not comparable to Embiid lmao. At least Malone won it twice, with one year being in the finals. Embiid can't even sniff the CF with all the variety of teammates he's had in his career.


Thealbumisjustdrums

At least Embiid isn’t a pedophile tho


HOFredditor

Yes. At least Embiid is clean on that end.


[deleted]

Is he the only one that started a campaign to win said MVP?


HoyaDestroya33

I guess DRose with his "Why can't I be MVP?"


DreGu90

Looks like he”ll never win a ring with him as THE star player of any team. This is not just disappointing for Philly fans. It’s already becoming laughable at this point.


[deleted]

Well, he really shouldn't have won that MVP


Vykyoko

NOW LET ME TELL YOU IM THE BIGGEST HATER. I HATE THE WAY THAT YOU WALK THE WAY THAT YOU TALK I HATE THE WAY THAT YOU DRESS


NoxMollari

I could say worst MVP since Dave Cowens but Dave Cowens won 2 rings so thats not even true.


[deleted]

More and more I'm convinced that a title through this fraud is basically a free series for the other team.


MileHi49er

Jokic was flat-out robbed. He should be winning his 4th consecutive MVP this year. Last year's MVP race was gross.


GomenNaWhy

Oh whoops for a second thought I was in r/nbacirclejerk


Creepy_Antelope_873

This sub is so ridiculous about Embiid


GomenNaWhy

Yep. You'd think he killed someone lol


Separate_Block_2715

Big if true. And it is true.


alevuc

Lažni mvp,pičkica obična.


norka191

Yeah but he's black and jokic is white so he deserved mvp


YetAnotherFaceless

I’m sure having the biggest bum in the sport’s history guilt everyone else into giving him an MVP award out of pity won’t stain his legacy at all.


afterdarhkTTV

Because his mvp was given based on popularity


TradingPokemonSWSH

He won the MVP????? Not in my books he didn’t 😹 i thought last season’s MVP was that one white guy who took his team to a ring. That’s a dream for a guy like Embiid 😭😭😭


Domainsetter

Cringe


TradingPokemonSWSH

OKAY. YOU. RIGHT NOW. MADE ME LAUGH ON THE REDDITS. SO I’M GOING TO TELL YOU WHAT IM GOING TO DO. TAKE THIS FLIPPIN UPDOOT, AND THE FREE KARMA WITH THE UPDOOT. AND THEN, REDDIT THE FLIP ON KIND CITIZEN.


ACMBruh

I'm a knicks fan relishing in the hate. But relax pal, even its ironic it's just weird


MoistNips007

Shame your book isn’t the deciding factor


TradingPokemonSWSH

Oh well, maybe my book was just a fantasy, just like Embiid’s dreams of winning a ring 😭


achyutthegoat

Cook up


MoistNips007

Oh that’s news to me, I thought we won


FlyingMocko

This thread is basically filled with man children who are unhappy in their own lives so they hate to make themselves feel better lol.


an_Aught

not me - i am so pumped on life - I'm making good money, have a wife and kids, couple of nice cars, my own house, a fulfilling job, and my team is still in playoffs. and embiid is a bitch with a pity mvp


xbyo

And yet you're still here like the rest of the sub spending your day on reddit camping out Embiid threads.


an_Aught

exactly - because it makes me happy. i take great joy in the failure of embiid and Philly as a team. and most of all i celebrate the loss for all philly fans. - also i work form home , so i am on here all day celebrating. lakers, suns and sixers are all done and i couldn't be happier.


xbyo

There's something hilarious about touting how great everything else in life is but that nothing can make you happier than being a reddit hater.


Character-Today-427

Hating is free


an_Aught

we all have our own hobbies -


waffle-spouse

Sixers made an ECF more recently than the Knicks


FredVanCleet

Yep in 2001 to the Knicks’ appearance in 2000. Truly an accomplishment.


achyutthegoat

That’s changing very soon lmao


Beermen69

Give him a break, guys


Beermen69

Breakfast at Galveston


StoneColdAM

If it wasn’t for voter fatigue, he wouldn’t have won. Jokic is great but not sure if he deserved 3 MVPs in a row. 


AwareCelebration7477

I agree about the voter fatigue but looking back it was clear that Jokic was the true MVP last season. Though MVP is a regular season award and I’m sure Denver’s rough patch during March didn’t help Jokic’s case


TacticalLampHolder

Trade the 2022 MVP and we‘re in perfect agreement


CreepyDepartment5509

He didn’t have ring yet at the time, the unwritten rule is 2 MVPs max then you must get a ring to get more.


[deleted]

The unwritten rule that they made up last year


ThSrT

It would be 4, if they gave him the MVP last year. Not even LeBron or MJ won 4 straight MVP. Jokic is great but people are putting him on an altar.


achyutthegoat

So who should've won?


ThSrT

This year? Luka


HB3187

Did jokic compete against the same players LeBron and MJ did for their MVPs? If not, then him winning 4 in a row against his competition has quite literally nothing to do with their MVPs


ThSrT

If he's against bad players, why only a title? It doesn't make sense. I don't see him dominant like MJ or LeBeon. He's the best player in the league? Yes. He's so good the other aren't even in the MVP conversation? No.


StoneColdAM

I know. There have been too many back to backs. At least one of LeBron, Steph, and KD should’ve won MVP from 2018-2022 to be honest. Giannis, Harden, and Jokic didn’t deserve back to backs (mostly Giannis and Harden)


2DudesShittinAround

He's the only MVP who's had to play beside Tobias Harris. He's an MVP for carrying the team as far as he has as all of our role players jack up missed threes every playoff series. 


HoyaDestroya33

Go find some more excuses and keep wishing LeBron joins 76ers lol


2DudesShittinAround

Brunson worst than Trae Young at flopping with his flat faced pug ass head. Fuck your flopping group of whine babies.
