Legler and Windhorst both said they voted for Embiid even though they understand metrics slightly favored Jokic.
Hopefully Embiid gets an MVP one of these years. It'll be really tough with Giannis Ja and Luka all in their primes.

I hate watching Luka play. Him, Harden and Young all aggravate me. All the flopping, intentional drawing of fouls and volume shooting is just ugly basketball. Just not my favorite brand of basketball. They are all great, I just don't like watching them.

Embiid won the scoring title. First Center since Shaq to do it.
Both are worthy recipients.
If Jokic took the same amount of shots (FG and FT) as Embiid, his shooting percentage averages dictate he would have scored more points than Embiid.
Just sayin'.

Nobody does more intentional drawing of fouls than Embiid. He uses the exact same tactics as those guys. He just does it better because he is huge and guys can't help but put their hands on him.

He starts talking about drawing fouls a few min into the Reddick video.

My enjoyment of Embiid's ability to do things that 7 footers shouldn't be able to do and the fact that he is a Jayhawk overcome his intentional flopping and foul drawing.

If Ja is out, that takes the air out of this series.

Grizz have a surprisingly good record without Ja on the court. Hopefully he can return for game 5.

It wasn't intentional, but he failed his arm and elbowed him in the face. Seemed like a reasonable T imo.

You don't have to be set. You can be moving laterally. I thought it was a block though. Surprised it got overturned.

Boston showing some serious heart in a must win game.
Isn't Al Horford like 40 years old? He's been awesome.
