Brother Alphabet's +1 became 97, 3rd in the league. Doncic +1 to 96, tied with Durant for fourth place in the league. Haliburton's +2 became 94, 10th in the league!

Throughout NBA history, the only players who averaged more than 35 points per game in a single season were Chamberlain (5 in 1959-1964), Rick Barry in 1966-67, Jordan in 1986-87, Kobe Bryant in 2005-06 and Harden in 2018-19. Embiid created the NBA center's highest points per game season after Chamberlain!

There is no suspense, on December 22, Beijing time, Embiid continues to lead the NBA's latest MVP rankings! ESPN organized a panel of experts and reporters to select MVPs based on their performance so far this season, Embiid scored 848 points to lead the way, Jokic scored 630 points to rank second, and Brother Alphabet scored 352 points to rank third.

If this continues, Embiid will be the MVP of the regular season for the second consecutive year. Speaking about his goals, Embiid said: "If you want to go down in history, you have to win multiple championships and win multiple MVPs at the same time! Horry has seven championships, but no one thinks he's in the top 50 of all time, right? Both honors are important, and my goal now is to win the championship." ”

Embiid has scored 40+10 in three consecutive games: against the Hornets on December 17, Embiid scored 42 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks on 18-of-23 shooting, 40 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks on 15-of-28 shooting against the Bulls on December 19, and 51 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block on 17-of-25 shooting against the Timberwolves on December 21.

Many people questioned Embiid mainly because of the difference between his regular season and playoff performances last season. In the 2022-23 season, Embiid played in 66 regular season games, averaging 34.6 minutes per game, scoring 33.1 points, 10.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1 steal and 1.7 blocks, shooting 54.8%, 33% and 85.7% from three, and won the MVP!

He averaged 37.3 minutes per game, 23.7 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 2.8 blocks, shooting 43.1%, 17.9% and 90.5% from three. In the tiebreaker with the Celtics, Embiid scored only 15 points and 8 rebounds on 5-of-18 shooting, along with 4 turnovers and 3 fouls.

In addition, Embiid once mocked Jokic: "Some people win the MVP and still don't achieve anything." As a result, Jokic has won the championship, but Embiid is out of the second round of the playoffs, and many fans mock Embiid with this sentence. Judging by his performance so far this season, do you think Embiid is already the number one in the league?
