Joel Embiid has left no stone unturned in his quest to capture the MVP award. The 7ft tall Philadelphia 76ers’ Power Forward put up absolutely brilliant numbers in his game against the Boston Celtics. “The Process” scored a whopping 52 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, and 20-25 FG as the player went off against the Boston Celtics.
Embiid boosted his team to victory against his fellow MVP competitor, Boston Celtics’ Jayson Tatum. He led the way for his team in the game against the Celtics where he outclassed pretty much everyone. With this performance against the Celtics, Embiid has reminded the world that he can’t ever be left out of the MVP conversation.
In the past, Embiid went on to criticize the NBA for the criterion they had set for the players to receive the MVP award. Due to the “criterion” that Embiid was against, the Nuggets’ Nikola Jokic won the MVP award twice, in the past two years. This year, Nikola Jokic has been a close second so far as Joel Embiid leads the MVP leaderboard. As a result of this close competition, people still had doubts about whether Embiid would take the dub against “The Joker”. With this performance, the doubts should’ve been lost.
Fans were riled up post this masterful performance by the Cameroonian megastar as they filled basketball Twitter up with “MVP” for Embiid. Despite having lost the MVP title by a close margin in the past few years, this year seems to be the lucky one for Joel. Let us take a closer look at what happened in the Philadelphia 76ers’ game against the Boston Celtics.
Fans award Joel Embiid “The MVP” as 76ers beat Celtics, 103-101
As the season nears its end, the Philadelphia 76ers are closing strong. They are leaving no stone unturned in their way to hopefully clinching the NBA Champion title this year. The 76ers “comfortably defeated” the Boston Celtics, 103-101 after a masterful performance by their megastar Joel Embiid.
Embiid led the way for his team with 52 points, 13 rebounds, and 6 assists while his teammate James Harden followed with 20 points and P.J. Tucker with 11 points. For the Celtics, Derrick White led the way with 26 points while Tatum and Malcolm Brogdon followed with 19 and 18 respectively.
Despite being in MVP contention, Jayson Tatum was not able to give quite the performance that he might’ve expected. Unlike Tatum, Embiid didn’t give his doubters a chance. Fans rallied after “The Process” calling him the “MVP” and arguing for his credibility, which is often questioned by the “pundits.”
Let us take a look at some of the fan reactions to Embiid’s performance against the Boston Celtics. A game that almost solidifies his chances of becoming the MVP this year.
Let us see whether this performance by Embiid helps him get his hands at the MVP award or if some issues arise with the award criteria again. No matter what, Embiid always gives basketball fans a great time with each and every performance. Now it is all a matter of time till when we find who is the MVP this year.
