.@JoelEmbiid on Doc Rivers and his teammates’ assertion that the MVP race ended tonight:
“They’re probably right. But we’ve got bigger goals in mind.”

Joel Embiid is the slam dunk MVP.

Joel Embiid 100% 2023 NBA regular season MVP. There’s no chance anybody else wins. If Joel isn’t MVP this season I’ll bleach my asshole

Despite the near catastrophic ending, Embiid dropping 50/13/6 on 20/25 shooting is one hell of an MVP statement

Sixers still win. Joel Embiid is the league MVP. Come the 2nd round the Sixers have a shot IF Maxey and Tobias play better. The Celtics will have 0 answers for Embiid. This year can be different.

Joel Embiid is the closest thing we’ve seen to Hakeem Olajuwon and he most likely locked up his first MVP tonight.

Embiid remains the most talented dude in the game. Never seen anything like him… still disappointed he ducked Jokic

Nikola Jokic scored 14 points in a 21-point loss to the 19-60 Rockets on the same night Joel Embiid had 52 in a win over the Celtics.
