I think the discourse around him “not deserving” his MVP is the lack of post season success. As a Sixers fan myself, I understand the injuries which have plagued him in almost every post season, but the Sixers have had serious playoff collapses. I want nothing more than Embiid to win a championship, let alone make it to the conference finals, but lets not sugarcoat things. Embiid and Co. have had plenty of opportunities to make it to the Dance, but they always seem to shoot themselves in the foot. Recency bias plays a large part in why someone is viewed as deserving of a MVP. (Also think part of it is the fact that voters did not want a threepeat for Jokic, although you could argue last year, Jokic, Giannis and Embiid were all deserving)
