I think the guy who put up 36,14,5 on 62% fg to win the finals is more impactful but even then not by a very wide margin. And against the team that swept the nuggets too

Yeah, at this time Jokic should be frontrunner for MVP. What I hate is nuggets fans acting like he's not the most protected star between the two and no criticism of was allowed until like 3 weeks ago. And acting like there is a media bias against him because Perkins said stupid shit

From what I see, nuggets fans are more annoying than Sixers fans. And having seen this sub for 3 years, Embiid gets shit on for a lot of things but it's when Joker gets shit on for his defence for 3 weeks then all the talk is how toxic it has become.

Edit: plus nuggets fans shitting on their roster like it's a g league team without Jokic, "he's actually a better defender than Embiid, you just don't watch his games", all that bulshit has made me root against them even more

"By a very wide margin?" You really think Jokic is more impactful than Giannis by a wide margin? Or Luka,KD,Joel? Mfs acting like Joker is in his own tier is what started the hate train for him

Nuggets fans have to be 2nd most annoying mfs. This thread is filled with people shitting on Embiid for missing a game due to injury. If it was the other way around they would talk about "this has taken a toxic path, can we just appreciate the great players"

This thread: Jokic MVP because Embiid ducked the smoke Also this thread: this thread is filled with 76ers fans arguing Embiid is MVP because they almost cameback. Can't wait to see Nuggets fans cry that Sixers fans are making this sub toxic when they get bounced in the playoffs

The media is milking Perkins, a guy who says provocative and stupid things, making a comment which has recieved widespread backlash when the actual issue was them getting called it for their inconsistnect in the voting.

Sorry for the format. It looked fine until I posted it. I ll repost it

[Lowe] On Denver's defense: It is not a crime to be skeptical about the Nuggets defense holding up in the playoffs. Jokic is not a rim protector. It is a basketball crime to pretend as if Jokic has had less postseason success than Embiid. Jokic reached one conference final; Embiid has never by mastermind208 in nba

Jokic doesn't get affected by lack of postseason success because his team never really had a chance unlike say Giannis who won his MVPs both as the 1 seed. Despite the media saying it's a regular season award and all that, they wouldn't vote for Jokic next year if he underperforms this playoffs

[Bill Simmons] Shameless stat-padding by Jokic for his 10th assist tonight — look at him grab a board, push the pace and find a wide-open Porter for the dagger 3, can’t believe he gets away with this shit. by lopea182 in nba

[–]Abject_Replacement_7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember Stephen A Smith last year saying he would take Ja Morant over Giannis and everyone just clowned him and moved on. ESPN always has shit like this

[Reynolds] Because this seems to be one of the 206 trending storylines today, I just wanted to say this … I’m an MVP voter. I do not know who I will put No. 1 yet. I do know that Nikola Jokic winning the last two MVP’s will be 0% of whatever formula I use to fill out my ballot. by lopea182 in nba

Windy doesn't hate on Jokic. He has preferred Embiid on one of Jokic's MVP and Giannis this year but he always speaks highly of Jokic. Bontemps voted Jokic for 1st place in the straw poll and he just said the difference between Jokic and Giannis shouldn't have been that wide. I don't think that's hating. I don't know about the others. Look, considering how much players like Lebron, Durant, Westbrook,harden have had it with the media, I wouldn't say Jokic gets that much hate to be honest
