Beijing time on April 13 news, Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant said that he believes that this past season he should also be included in the MVP discussion.
In a pre-match press conference, Durant said he identified Embiid as the most valuable player of the season.
"In the case of Embiid playing like this, why don't people choose Embiid, I think he should be elected, probably because people like the letters Antetokounmpo and Jokic more, it's actually very simple." Durant said of the MVP attribution this season.
Durant also mentioned that this year's MVP competition is very fierce, "In fact, even if you close your eyes and choose any one of the top six or seven players in the league, he is the MVP of this season." ”
