It was a close match between Embiid but he actually deserves it as well. We haven't seen an NBA Center winning MVP since Shaq in 2000, I'm glad that he made it this year.
I believe that any other choice would be unfair. The Joker has played brilliantly all season and now he is pulling Denver in the playoffs as well, despite many injuries to his teammates. Jokic was named the MVP as the lowest drafted player in the league's long history. In 2014, he was selected by the Nuggets with number 41. Out of 101 voters, Jokić received 91 nominations. Second was Steph Curry (5), then Chris Paul (2), Joel Embiid, Derrick Rose and Giannis Antetokounmpo, one each. Who the hell voted for D-Rose?!
Agreed, especially after Jamal Murray went down Jokic stepped up le an MVP would. Dude has a very silky slow game that no one can seem to stop its actually amazing to watch. The game just seems so slow for him, where other players have to be so twitchy to shake players.
