NBA - Main

I keep saying, if you don't want load management, get rid of per-game stats and use only totals.

He could do until the end of season, play all games and have the best record in the league but no way will he win the MVP because of what Perkins accused voters of last year.

Leading the league in points, rebounds and assists in the same season might be the greatest individual statistical achievement in the history of the NBA.

he might end up the goat big man

Is that good?

Nice. Can’t wait to hear why embiid is mvp

Embiids pity MVP looks worse and worse with each passing game

Best player by a considerable margin.

Best player in the world

Kendrick Perkins isn't gonna like this.

somehow Embiid will get MVP anyway

Absolute legend

They’ll still give the MVP to like crying ass Joel 😂

Okay I’ll bite, where is he ranked in each of these three per game?

Still not going to be on Mark Jackson’s MVP ballot

We will see in the end when Embiid overtakes him, then blow him out in playoffs.

Jokic's underrated skill as a big man: always playing (almost)

MVP! MVP! MVP!

Tbf hes the only one that played 20 games in the top 5 in points and assists

The rebounding is really impressive, more than AD and Gobert.

Leadership boards merchant

21st century Wilt

So Embiid for back to back MVPs? /s

He's a center who can pass whoopty doo

MVP again

That's fucked up lmao. Only My Players do that stuff

There is just plainly no argument for anyone other than him as MVP.

Best player in the league and it’s not even fucking close.

The numbers this man puts up are incredible. Far gap between him and whoever is #2.

Just give him the MVP already

But Embiid cried and nobody died

Statistics Trader

No way that’s ever happened before. Absolutely nuts

But his stocks are atrocious

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

MVP

These stats are too advanced

Useless, need to see where he ranks in advanced metrics that not even nba sickos give a shit about to know whether or not Jokic is at least a half decent basketball player.

Yeah but could he do it when it matters most, like in the playoffs

checks notes

Oh my god

Does not lead in the most important stat, W

Was expecting Hali to lead the league in assists.

But, nope. Jokic. Dude's insane.

This man is doing this on a 9-5 job.

Its wild that I saw that and just wasnt surprised, it just made sense. I definitely would have been shocked 5 years ago if you told me someone was leading in total points, rebounds and assists.

Top 10 all time do NOT @ me.

I would just like to point out that a big part of this is a hellish opening schedule. 4 back-to-backs already I think. Still impressive, but I think it says more about his endurance than any of the actual stats.

Still not COMPELLING enough though.

That is ridiculous

How’s is he leading in total points, what a monster.

MVP

Came here to say that. Well, I was sure somebody had posted already so actually came here to comment on that.

Absolutely amazing!
