    Now I’d like to hear all nba podcast crown Luka as they did with Embiid a few days ago. Luka scored 73 meaningful point, not 70 (half of them) useless points in a blowout win versus one of the worst team this year, statpadding like no one ever

      I agree, I think it’s crazy that Embiid is getting all the MVP talk this year. Both Giannis and Jokic got crucified the year after they won it when they had just a disappointing post season but somehow Embiid isn’t. Feels like the criteria and what gets held against the players changes every year.

      Lukas clearly got the worst supporting cast so while record should probably play a factor feel like it’s being held against him more than others in the past.

    This is why you shouldn’t gamble. Put your money in gambling stocks instead and win no matter how the prop bets turn out.
