Sixers president Daryl Morey calls out MVP voters in support of Joel Embiid

Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid is one of the top players in the game regardless of position. The big fella is incredible on the floor. He is averaging 33.3 points, 10.1 rebounds and 4.1 assists while shooting 53.7% from the floor.
Despite those incredible numbers, Embiid isn’t getting the MVP love Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic does. Embiid has come up short to Jokic in MVP voting two years in a row despite Denver finishing in sixth place in the Western Conference in 2022. It might be the same for Embiid this season considering Denver leads the West, and Joker is averaging a triple-double now.
President Daryl Morey took to Twitter to call out MVP voters in support of Embiid.
At the end of the day, a championship is much more important than the MVP award. Sure, it’s an important award and it’s cool to have, but if Embiid were to carry the Sixers to a title in 2023, that would mean much more than winning this regular-season award.
