My biggest argument for MVP has always been this: remove the player from the team and how would that team be?
Difference in net rating between playing and not playing:
Giannis -10.7
Embiid (the scoring title holder of the 2021-22 season) -11.9
Jokić -16.4 – 2:23 PM

“First scoring title for a center since Shaq in 2000” is impressive, but it should also be noted that Embiid is just the fourth to do it since 1980, and 2 of previous 3 years happened during Jordan’s mid-career retirement (after which he came back and immediately won 3 straight) – 2:20 PM

Giannis Antetokounmpo will not play today.
That means Joel Embiid will win the NBA’s scoring title … unless something like this happens — he plays today, scores zero points, and Luka Doncic scores 138 points or more.
Hence, I think Joel Embiid has won the scoring title. – 2:10 PM

It’s the 13th time Embiid has recorded at least 40p/10r in a game this season.
He breaks a tie with Moses Malone (1981-82) and Russell Westbrook (2016-17) for the most such games in a single season since the ABA-NBA merger. pic.twitter.com/U0ieuSx3L5 – 3:27 PM

With that last basket, Joel Embiid is guaranteed to average greater than 30 ppg on the season, even if he plays and goes scoreless tomorrow night against Detroit. – 3:07 PM

The good: Joel Embiid is really good at basketball, and his 33/17/3 in 30 minutes have led the Sixers to a 100-90 lead over the Pacers after 3 quarters of play.
The bad: defense. – 2:55 PM

Sixers 100, Pacers 90 at the end of the third. Pacers trimmed the gap, but lead back out to double digits after another 3 by Maxey. Embiid with 33 and 17. Harden with 17 (5-of-13 from floor) and 10 assists. – 2:54 PM

Lol Joel Embiid is ridiculous. He drains a step back 3 to push the lead back up to 8 and then Jams Harden scores a layup on the next possession. #Pacers trail 90-80 with 3:46 left. – 2:47 PM
