“There Will be 0 Doubters”: Discussing How Joel Embiid Could be Among MVPs to Never Make the Finals, ex-NBA Champ Predicts Nikola Jokic’s Fate

Several MVP awards, a final’s MVP, or maybe a championship? That?s the debate covering the best-known players in the league. Would Giannis care about winning yet another MVP and not a championship? Richard Jefferson says no. Well, there are not many MVPs who have never stepped into the conference finals. And that’s what makes “The Process” a standout player for the 76ers.?

However, is the MVP title all for the Cameroonian player or does he still have some fight left in himself to enter the finals??

Some Future Predictions for Nikola Jokic by Richard Jefferson

The beef was between Joel Embiid and Jokic up until the last postseason. However, the fight didn?t get any response when Embiid planned to back out of the final MVP race. Some people say that it was unfair for Embiid to back out at the last moment while confirming the debate about his spotty presence the entire season.

Although Joel Embiid dominated Jokic the previous season with 47 points and 18 rebounds, what matters is who won the championship ring. On the same note, Richard agreed in the interview when asked about Embiid and the 76ers.?

Jefferson said, ?But now if Jokic comes out and has the same season, or a better season than he?s had, and he feels like he?s gotten better every year for the last like five or six years, Even if he had the exact same season last year, oh, there will be no doubters”.

Winning a Finals MVP Should Be the Goal for Joel Embiid

In a recent interaction on ?road tripping?, the crew, including a former NBA champ, began the hot topic of winning several MVP titles over a final?s MVP. Joel Embiid has played a lot of games in his career; however, the void of a final MVP is still there, let alone even entering the conference finals.

When Channing Frye asks Jeffreyson if Embiid is the only player to not make it to the conference finals, despite being so good, Allie Clifton disagrees and says, ?Derik Rose?. Steve Nash and Derik Rose are the only two players to not make it to the NBA finals. The question is, is Embiid going to be the third one?

?Richard Jefforson said, ?An MVP is one of the goals. And an MVP is not an ultimate goal; that?s the only mistake that people make. The No. 1 goal is to win the final MVP and a championship; if you do that, that?s far different”. Well, the claims seem to be right, since the 76ers have lost both of the preseason matches, both against the Boston Celtics. Although Embiid was not playing, it’s still the team that needs some rework to even enter the conference finals this season.
