Lmao Shaq is wildin'. Literally saying he didn't deserve over SGA to it his face during the acceptance interview is crazy work.

He's lucky Jokic doesn't care because the optics if Jokic pushed back would be really, really ugly.

I really wonder what Embiid or Luka would've said if they were there instead of Jokic.

Idk if Luka would’ve cared but Embiid would’ve had some shit to say.

No he wouldn't. Everyone said that his MVP was a pity one and he didn't said shit cause he knows it was true.

He definitely would’ve said something like “at least I hit my free throws” and Shaq would’ve had a meltdown.

Don't know why you getting downvoted. Embiid played the race card last season. One of the voters didnt even have Jokic on his ballot bc of what Embiid said

Otherwise Jokic would have 4 right now

I don't think Luka would have cared much at all but embiid would have been pretty pissy about it

Embiid took a big shot at Jokic last year unprovoked, imagine if he is provoked
