The narrative is finished with Giannis for now.  

IMO it’s Embiid’s for the taking.

So I hear Bradley Beals name a lot about needing a new team.  Didn't he just resign w the wizards for a huge contract?

Brooklyn beats the damn Clippers.  Those guys are no joke now, man they are getting better.  I think a bunch of us were dead wrong about that team...

It should be, but it’s not. FanDuel currently has LeBron at +150 and Joel at +350. DraftKings has it at +150 and +300. 

Embiid just had one of the greatest individual performances in Philadelphia sports history to drag his team to a win without his 2nd best player. Meanwhile the Lakers are struggling at home against inferior opponents without Davis.

Embiid has him beat quite healthily in almost every single statistical category. Yet the odds barely budge. 

And oh yeah, the biggest knock against Embiid right now is his number of games played. Last weeks game against the Jazz is one that he was particularly criticized for missing, being that they were such a quality opponent. He missed that game because of back tightness. When did this back tightness start? When Le-Bron-fu-KING-James pushed him in midair because his ego couldn’t handle being dunked on. 

I’ve always liked LeBron for the most part, but this season has made me feel really gross about him and the way he is viewed/treated by the media and league.

LBJ is not winning any MVP this year.  His PER is lowest it's been in a long time and that is saying something considering he's still top 20 in that.

You’re making the mistake of thinking that logic has anything to do with this decision.

Then I go with the eye test.  Embiid has been nothing short of stellar this year.  LBJ will cruise until the playoffs still being one of the best on the court but not exerting himself too far.

Last year I did think he should have won it.  This year?  Not even close.
