Joel Embiid Is Going To Miss Out On Winning His First MVP After Tyrese Maxey Snatches The Award From Him

Joel Embiid has been having the most dominant season of his career. He's solidified himself as one of the top players in the world and possibly the greatest big man to ever play the game. The only thing is…well…I just don't see how Joel Embiid can be considered an MVP finalist if he's not even the best player on his own team? 

Huge news for Greenie now that all of his Embiid slander has paid off. Making sure Embiid doesn't win the award appears to be the most important thing in that man's life at the moment, and now it's finally here. Joel Embiid is no longer the odds-on favorite to win the award. And whoever is currently leading the way for Defensive Player of the Year is also on the hot seat because that belongs to Tyrese Maxey as well. 

A very fun basketball team that is in no way frustrating as all hell and refuses to play up to their potential in the biggest moments. Wouldn't want it any other way. See you at the parade.
