There is no suspense, although the NBA official website at first Oolong Embiid was MVP, and later changed to a clerical error, and then wrote Embiid as an MVP candidate, in fact, the MVP candidate is Jokic, according to the report of Nuggets reporter Mike Singer, the current person in Serbia Jokic and learned of his own MVP news.
Jokic, who was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, quickly returned to Serbia to enjoy his vacation, but even the news of the MVP, the NBA official will be announced later, it is the American reporter who broke the news first, but Jokic knew in advance that it is also a foreshadowing, because at this time, the MVP is not predicted, the previous voting statistics in Jokic is completely ahead of Embiid, even if Embiid is still playing in the playoffs with an injury, the problem is that Jokic deserves the MVP of the 2021-22 season, isn't it? Jokic has indeed grown more this season, and even the Zhuang MVP has allowed him to brush up a number of records.
1. Jokic became the first center since Moses Malone to win the MVP. From the time when the NBA center won the MVP, it goes back to Moses Malone in 1981-1983, and it is not easy to do this, jokic is not easy, even if there are the world-famous 4 centers in the 90s in front of the covenant keic, and O'Neal, who built the Lakers' triple-title dynasty, they have not been able to do the MVP, but Jokic has done it, after 39 years.
2, NBA history can win the MVP center many times, including Jokic only 5 people, the other 4 people are Abdul-Jabbar 6 times, Bill Russell 5 times, Chamberlain 4 times, Moses Malone 3 times, are the level of the ancient mythical beast, can do this in modern basketball, Jokic can be called the strongest center of this era.
3. Jokic is also the third international player to be the MVP of Lianzhuang after Nash and Alphabet Brother. Not a traditional American center, but Jokic used all-round European center technology to become the MVP in the NBA, which is a sign of European basketball progress.
Also, does Jokic deserve the MVP? Perhaps the Nuggets record is 48-34, with a win rate of 58.5%, ranking only 6th in the West, and compared with the idea that the MVP leadership ability in the hearts of fans should be stronger, Jokic is indeed a little controversial, but after reading the following data and Nuggets coach Carl's point of view, you will dispel these concerns.
The Nuggets' record is not good, mainly because Murray and Porter Jr. are two super-paid players who are reimbursed for the season, so the Nuggets need Jokic too much this season, and he also averaged 27.1 points, 13.8 rebounds, 7.9 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.9 blocks per game, shooting 58%, all of which are the first in the Nuggets. And when Jokic was on the floor, the Nuggets could beat their opponents by 444 points, and when they were not on the floor, the Nuggets lost 255 points to their opponents, and the Nuggets were able to achieve such a record, relying on Jokic's fairy data crazy output.
Karl backed his beloved, saying: Jokic deserves MVP, he's better than last year, carrying the team all season.
Yes, the Nuggets' entire team is carried by Jokic, and can also reach the playoffs in the 6th place in the West, which is probably the most complete loss for Embiid, at least Embiid's side is also helped by super-salaried players like Harris and Harden, but Jokic's side is not in this season.
