Joel Embiid's embroiled in his own heated awards race.
But that didn't stop him from weighing in on another. The MVP finalist took the podium Monday after his 76ers beat the Nets to take a 2-0 series lead. He took time out for a shot at Jaren Jackson Jr.'s Defensive Player of the Year award that was announced before tipoff. He used his own stats as a launch pad.
Embiid registered three blocks in Philadelphia's 96-84 win.
