Joel Embiid might just be a few regular seasons games away from winning his first ever NBA MVP award. Everybody wants access to the Sixers superstar and over the last few days he’s obliging them a bit more than he normally would otherwise. Perhaps James Harden, who won his in 2018, got in his ear and said this vote is largely narrative based, so it wouldn’t hurt your chances to show them a little bit more about who you are and what you’re like.
A feature in SI by Chris Mannix, an appearance on “The Late Late Show with James Corden,” and a guest spot on “The Old Man and the Three” are a few of the most recent glimpses into the big man’s POV fans have been treated to over the last couple of days.
