As the regular season draws to a close, the MVP battle is intensifying this season. Embiid, the 76ers star, openly solicited votes for himself in an interview with the media yesterday, saying that if he won the award, it would be good, but if he did not win, it may be that the relevant judges have opinions or double standards for him.
Embiid's remarks caused a lot of controversy, and even the well-known sports journalist Skip Bayless joined the discussion. He contradicted Embiid's opinion on the latest show, saying that Embiid was ungrateful, biting the hand that had been feeding him with his mouth, and that he should not complain, but should try to prove himself.
"I'm a big fan of Joel Embiid and I wanted to share two pieces of advice from myself, but it's wrong, without a doubt. You can't keep biting the hand that feeds you, you can't humiliate the media who are voting for you. 'What?' Do I have to vote for you? Did the season end yesterday? You have 4 more races left and by the way, your schedule is the easiest. You play the Pacers, then the Raptors, then you go back home to meet the Pacers, and finally end the season in Detroit, take it home, Big Man. Skip Bayless said.
In addition, Skip Bayless also talked in detail about the MVP competition between Alphabet Brother, Jokic and Embiid, who said that the reason why Embiid fell to third place in the latest MVP list was mainly because of Harden's joining.
"Their biggest problem is that nobody wants to admit that Harden is the elephant in the room, when there's no Simmons, you lead the team to the top of the league, but then James comes, this is one of the greatest outside scorers of all time, he becomes your teammate, you should take off, you should be mvp, but since James joined, they only have a record of 13 wins and 7 losses... This is the seventh and eighth record in the league in the same period, can this win your vote? Skip Bayless continued.
So the question is, do you, as a fan, agree with Skip Bayless' statement?
