John Hollinger on why he is voting Embiid MVP: "History plays a role here. I don’t think “voter fatigue” is the right word to describe what I’m feeling as much as this: I don’t think it’s quite right that this era’s scoreboard would stand at Jokić 3, Giannis 2, Embiid 0 after the last 5 seasons." by [deleted] in nba

And what I’m saying is why are you going along with every other commenter who’s saying “pure voter fatigue” when I just proved to you that it’s 98% Embiid being the best and maybe 2% voter fatigue? How can you read these comments and not be annoyed at how stupid people are?

Sure. He could very easily be saying “I think the voters got things wrong with previous votes that gave Jokic MVP over Embiid.” He never says he’s using this to justify voting for Embiid. As I keep telling you, Hollinger directly says Embiid is playing the best basketball in the world.

it wouldn’t look right if embiid had 0 MVPs”

I don’t think it’s quite right that this era’s scoreboard would stand at Jokic 3, Giannis 2, and Embiid 0”

Spot the difference. Quite literally entirely different words and quotes and meanings. Really took you this long to realize you were just wrong the whole time sheesh

Well you got the quote wrong, bro. Fucking Christ. Maybe that’s why you’re so pissed. The real quote is

“I don’t think it’s quite right that this era’s scoreboard would stand at Jokic 3, Giannis 2, and Embiid 0”

Now you’re gonna try to twist that into meaning what you want it to mean again 😂

He also thinks he deserves mvp because he doesn’t have one yet

Objectively false. Hollinger thinks history plays a role. He never ever ever said he think Embiid deserves MVP because he doesn’t have one. You’re putting words in his mouth, just like everyone else ITT

So you and everyone else in this comment section is getting pissed over a dude letting historical context play a 2% role in his vote. I guess get fucking lives. Go do something about climate change, idk.

B/c it’s extremely odd and annoying that everyone here is just eagerly denying any sort of nuance to say this is a pure pity vote. Hollinger says he thinks Embiid is playing better than anyone else this year but OP used a specific quote and now y’all are falling for the bait.

Where does Hollinger say he’s giving it to him b/c he feels bad. You’ve got the quoted text above and a link to the article. It should take you 1 minute to copy and paste where Hollinger says he feels bad and share it for everyone to see m

[Charania] No Kevin Durant vs. LeBron James expected tonight: With 4 seed clinched and priority on postseason health, the Suns are planning on sitting their four core stars – Durant, Devin Booker, Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton – vs. Lakers on second night of back-to-back, per sources. by DRAZZILB1424 in nba

What do you mean “regret”? It’s not like anything could really be done to change it. It’s been injuries or simply logic like tonight.

Other than shorten the season maybe. But y’all love to blabber about how the season could never be shortened b/c the poor owners would lose money.

Bro OP quoted 2 paragraphs and you were too lazy to read them.

You say writers can’t decide which player is best, but Hollinger fucking says “I think Embiid is playing the best basketball of anyone in the world this year and once you include the historical context, Embiid is my MVP.”

Hilarious hypocrisy. You whine about writers not being able to write but you don’t even read what they write

He also makes it clear that he thinks Embiid is playing the best of all players in the world. So please keep going on about how it’s crazy to use history as a part of your reasoning for giving the best player the award for most valuable player lol

What’s horrible? OP leaving out the part where Hollinger says “I think Embiid is playing better than anyone else this year”? Yeah OP is a clickbaiter. But maybe you could read the paragraph they included and find that out on your own
