This season, Sixers’ Joel Embiid has been playing out of his mind and for the second year in a row has led the entire NBA in scoring.
In the last 2 years, Joel Embiid has come in 2nd for the MVP to the Nugget’s Nikola Jokić.
Is this the year that Sixers Joel Embiid is named MVP? The last time a Sixers player was named MVP was Allen Iverson in 2001.
