There are a million reasons why Joel Embiid winning MVP would be an incredible thrill. He’s the crown jewel of the process, as Brett Brown used to say. It will further force those who insisted it was somehow dumb to stockpile multiple, high, lottery picks to double-down on their terrible takes, and move some goal posts. Have they won anything yet? If they never win a title, I was right about keeping Michael Carter-Williams and sending the message to the young core you play to win.
It would force those who once argued it was dumb to take a player who they knew would miss time rehabbing to move some goalposts as well.
