Now, another MVP candidate, Joel Embiid, is declaring that he should be given the award.

“There’s no doubt (I’m MVP),” Embiid said. “…I’ve been dominant all season. I’m not going to stop.”

At the moment, Denver’s Nikola Jokic is a slight favorite over Embiid to win the MVP. Jokic is averaging 26.4 PPG, which is less than Embiid at 30.1. The 76ers big man also has more rebounds, but Jokic separates himself with his unique passing ability.

This race is bound to go down to the wire, but I think Embiid, Jokic, and Curry would all be more happy with a deep run in the playoffs.
