?Feel Sorry for Me?: Outspoken Analyst Destroys Joel Embiid?s MVP Case and Fans Agree

The Philadelphia 76ers superstar Joel Embiid is currently the top runner for the prestigious MVP award. After losing the MVP award for the last two seasons, Joel Embiid has once again stepped up and delivered consistent performances to lead the MVP race. Nonetheless, some fans and analysts have put Embiid’s candidacy in dubious light. As the discussions on the MVP award have become full swing with the conclusion of the regular season, an analyst let out an outspoken take on the 76ers centerpiece and prompted many fans to agree with him.

The conclusion of the post season has got every other bunch of analysts debating over Joel Embiid, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Nikola Jokic, the trio running the MVP race. In one such discussion, veteran analyst Chris Broussard called out Embiid. Fans outside the ‘Embiid cult’ responded as if they were waiting to hear what Chris Broussard said.

Joel Embiid gets mercilessly called out by an analyst and fans

Joel Embiid has recently caught the attention of the NBA community after revealing his thoughts on the MVP award in an interview with The Athletic. The 76ers icon proclaimed that he had been running for the award for the last two seasons. He even revealed that he believed he had what it takes to claim the award last season. Moreover, Embiid added that there is a general dislike towards him. This attitude of the potential MVP has not gone well with analysts like Broussard.

In their last meeting with the Miami Heat, the 76ers got thoroughly outplayed. Apparently, Chris Broussard and co. started to examine the potential implications of the defeat on Embiid’s MVP prospect, in an episode of First Things First. Broussard overlooked the defeat and claimed that Embiid still is the most favored candidate. However, he rendered a crude take on the potential MVP later.

The veteran analyst implied that Embiid has been playing a victim card.
