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?

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.

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”.

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.

?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.
