What would Embiid realistically have to do, to repeat as MVP? (alien.top)

The entire NBA ecosystem seems to have unanimously decided that there's no shot for Embiid to win consecutive MVPs, especially after this year's playoffs where Embiid underperformed, while his most direct competitor established himself both as a champion, and as the top-dog in the league

But the one thing NBA has consistently proven, is that it's very tricky to predict (notwithstanding the Warriors superserum run), and there very well maybe a future where we're watching Joel Embiid hoist up that award once again come May.

So what do you guys think, realistically needs to happen with the Sixers, Embiid himself and the rest of his competition this regular season, for him to win a second MVP?

Be better than last year while having Philly as a top 2 seed. I think there’s a good chance he peaked in the regular season last year 33 Ppg on 65% TS is crazy. He also always finishes behind Jokic in advanced metrics and games played. He’ll probably have the mvp narrative go against him this season also. He would need to have an all time regular season and I don’t think that’s realistic.
