So Jokic gets down voted because of a bad 4 game stretch? Meanwhile, for the season he finishes .2 APG short of averaging a triple double for the season and posted an absurd 3rd straight year with a player efficiency rating over 30.And by the way, this is not true at all. Jokic tanked down the stretch of the regular season and Embiid went off.
To wit (paraphrased from a reddit post but these are the facts):
Jokic was actually in the lead much of the season. In early March the odds shifted slightly to Embiids favor at -110 but it was because the sixers went on an 8 game win streak at the same time the Nuggets went on a 4 game losing streak. The odds were still close up until April 4th Embiid was only at -150. That night Embiid lead the Sixers to a win against the Celtics on national tv with 52/6/13 and the Nuggets lost to the rockets by 21 and jokic went 14/10/4 with 8 turn overs. The next day the odds for Embiid MVP went to -750.
