“I don’t think about MVPs anymore,” Jokić said on Monday night. “I mean, I think it’s—people are just mean in saying Embiid shouldn’t have won it. I think he should have won it. I think he was playing, if you watch it, extremely, extremely tough basketball through the whole season. … He was really amazing in 82 games or how many games he played.
