I remember in the middle of last decade everyone was saying the big men’s era was gone. Now we have a 5 year streak of big men winning MVP. What a crazy stretch

[–]WarriorsOrphasmia 3766 points3767 points  (167 children)

They’ve all adapted to become a new kind of big men which I think is pretty cool

[–]KnicksOldManWiggy 1158 points1159 points  (43 children)

It's my favorite part of the 'holy trinity' of bigs. No matter what type of basketball you like to see, you can find it in one of Giannis/Embiid/Jokic

[–]76ersclickstops 644 points645 points  (23 children)

I like them all. They’re all so fun to watch. It sounds corny but we’re blessed to be able to watch any one of these guys on a given night.

[–][deleted] 406 points407 points  (17 children)

Blessed to watch all 3 and still having legends like Bton KD Curry all being in their mid to late 30s playing at an incredible level. I have my quips but the game is in an incredible place

[–]RaptorsSlamVanDamn 368 points369 points  (8 children)

Bton

That's LeBton, to you

[–]hangliger 29 points30 points  (3 children)

I'm just gonna call him Bton from now on. Who could forget the era of the legendary Bton?

[–]Knickskx2w 35 points36 points  (1 child)

It will be cool to see Bton pass the baton to Btonny in a few years.

[–]movet22 906 points907 points  (98 children)

This is a totally underplayed point. All three big men in the running can do some combination of: score (efficiently), dish, defend, shoot the three, and make their FTs. They play like guards who are roughly 7ft tall. It's wild how lucky we are to be in this era of the league's progression.

[–]KnicksSanguisFluens 146 points147 points  (9 children)

The natural progression of a shooting-focused league is teaching the big boys how to do it

[–][SAS] Derrick WhiteTyranicross 92 points93 points  (6 children)

You can teach anyone to shoot or pass but you can't teach someone to be 7 foot

[–][GSW] Shaun Livingstonnotabear629 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I believe in my teacher skills, I WILL teach a child to be 7 feet

[–]MavericksWolframbeta312 436 points437 points  (47 children)

That’s what happens when the game evolves and every big becomes a 3 point shooting threat!

[–]BucksTheCommonKoala 721 points722 points  (23 children)

3pt shooting legend, Giannis Antetokounmpo.

[–]amJustSomeFuckingGuy 122 points123 points  (20 children)

He's also not Shaq. He is willing to take shots and can make them.

[–]supert0426 191 points192 points  (13 children)

Giannis is not a 3pt shooting threat at all tho

[–][deleted] 55 points56 points  (0 children)

At least not to the opponent.

[–]Nuggetskursdragon2 34 points35 points  (3 children)

Well every big except for one of the front runners in the MVP discussion for the last 3 years :P

[–]SpursKdtM85 349 points350 points  (50 children)

Still think Giannis is a wing in the same mould as KD and Lebron

[–]potatwo 293 points294 points  (32 children)

He's more of a tall man

[–]King_Of_Zembla1 537 points538 points  (16 children)

Everyone: Basketball's positionless now

Me: Basketball positions are Fat, Shoots 3, Defense man who is actual sociopath, Long and run at hoop, short guy that looks like me that passes ball to either Fat, Shoots 3 or long and runs at hoop man.

[–]Sunsuxxoid 57 points58 points  (3 children)

I was the best fat on my High School team. Kids from other schools feared my fatness, that's how good of a fat I was.

[–]Pogys 84 points85 points  (1 child)

Shit this is pretty accurate ngl

[–]ThundernotsureifJasonBourne 43 points44 points  (1 child)

Long and run at hoop is Presti’s favorite position.

[–]Pelicansmnimatt 950 points951 points  (108 children)

If you asked a few years ago I'd have said Zion. Now I know it's gonna be Embiid again, Luka twice, and then Wemby twice for 10 straight years of international domination

[–]NBAlukewwilson 337 points338 points  (87 children)

If the talking heads are right it will be Wemby for the next 10 years

[–]76ersPointB1ank 291 points292 points  (78 children)

That much hype is almost impossible to live up to. I'm guessing he has disappointing results compared to what's expected, but hopefully I'm wrong.

[–]NetsOdd_Total_5549 161 points162 points  (37 children)

Idk man, I start thinking that sometimes too, then I go watch some highlights. He’s fucking unbelievable

[–]drrxhouse 75 points76 points  (11 children)

You’ve also seen Zion highlights and the hype that preceded him yeah?

No matter how ridiculous highlight videos are, I still tell people to just be patience and let’s them show it on the courts. At least a couple years of NBA ball. For all you know he could be next Zion or those coulda woulda been unstoppable if not injuries superstars.

[–]Novel_Board_6813 70 points71 points  (2 children)

Zion is pretty great for the number of games played. It’s just that he gets hurt a lot.

A healthy, in shape, more experienced Zion might have the potential for a Shaq-like career.

I don’t think we will ever see that, but the main reason Zion is somewhat of a bust are health issues. When both were playing, he looked better than Ja.

[–][UTA] Kyle KorverPeter-Tao 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Which is a big issue isn't it. People were saying his body might not hold up even before the draft. I can totally see the same risks for Wemby.

[–]melwinnnn 38 points39 points  (4 children)

Zion averages 25-7-3 on 60% shooting. Zion is a health bust not a skill bust.

[–]Timberwolveshorse_renoir13 125 points126 points  (1 child)

[–][deleted] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Don't do him like that

[–]doctorweiwei 92 points93 points  (14 children)

Yeah I think Ant or someone not even drafted yet

[–]Trail Blazersbolderbikes 104 points105 points  (12 children)

Ant or someone else named Ant 😏

[–]IllogicalPhilosopher 140 points141 points  (8 children)

Probably Tatum although it looks like it’ll be a while. I’m sure Giannis/Jokic/Embiid nabs one more as well as Luka getting his first possibly if the Mavs get better

[–]WestKdcjg 56 points57 points  (4 children)

I think the 65 game cutoff will help Tatum.

[–][deleted] 67 points68 points  (3 children)

ANT, Fox, or Tatum

[–]ihorsey10 41 points42 points  (0 children)

He's already eliminated. Zach Lowe said he begrudgingly gave Harden his MVP, and probably wouldn't consider him again after that. They all have the same attitude with Embiid.

[–]Warriorsabekku 289 points290 points  (18 children)

One of my worst takes in 2015 was saying KAT was going to be better than Embiid and Jokic. Oh how times have changed!

[–]76ersdat_waffle_boi 113 points114 points  (6 children)

At the time it was a totally fair take. I probably woulda said the same

[–][POR] LaMarcus Aldridge-Deksametazon- 53 points54 points  (1 child)

Who would win:

a consensus 1st overall pick, a guy with injury concerns coming in, or a mid 2nd rounder?

Saying KAT would be better than both was the best take, especially how the NBA was shaping, 3pt wise.

[–]PelicansGreat_Huckleberry709 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I have an even worse take. I said Jahlil Okafor would be better than Embiid.

[–]Nuggetsshot-by-ford 29 points30 points  (2 children)

It’s reminding me of the stretch with the Phillies in the World Series, union to the championship, and the birds were still undefeated.

It's very strange. It almost doesn't feel like defeat. Our city is a collective powerhouse across all sports (not you flyers, sell the team Comcast).

Well deserved, but whoever didn't vote for Jokic at all should lose his MVP vote (Perkins?), even if you thought that Embiid, Giannis and Jokic weren't the top 3, the idea that any of them weren't one of the top 5 players this season is just ridiculous.

[–]Nuggetsjaomile 429 points430 points  (34 children)

Game 1 vs Boston showed how valuable he is to 76ers. Celtics were just scoring easy buckets in the paint. Celtics collapsed and Harden went back in time to secure the win, but his lack of presence was felt.

Wish to face 76ers in the finals for true face off.

[–]Supersonicsarebee20 72 points73 points  (6 children)

Announcing the MVP in the middle of the playoffs is weird to me. Instead of this news dropping after the regular season and Embiid getting the praise he deserves for an outstanding season a lot of people are just going to say "meh, Jokic is better he just stepped off the gas to be ready for the playoffs or he would've won MVP" because of how well Jokic is playing right now.

[–]NuggetsKangorKodos 213 points214 points  (17 children)

People are going to say a lot of nonsense and say this was voter fatigue. But the man went off this year. Incredible year, and deserved MVP, just happened to be in a year where there were 2 other people who would have deserved an MVP, but people in the future are going to act like this was some kind of robbery, and not a coin flip. Which is going to be bullshit.

[–]76ersclingbat 108 points109 points  (8 children)

[–]NuggetsKangorKodos 46 points47 points  (2 children)

Hopefully. I already see people saying it was a robbery though and it is just annoying.

like....do people no know what the word robbery means. If I think Jokic was 2% better and Embiid won, that isn't a robbery, that is an incredibly close race

Lots of resiliency to overcome those injuries his first three seasons. I was concerned at one point that he was going to be like another Greg Oden, but fortunately, he got healthier and he is having an awesome NBA career.

[–][OKC] Steven AdamsDeadDay 158 points159 points  (8 children)

I remember seeing a video of him jogging in Philly at night saying to some random dude "trust the process" as he ran by. He still hadn't made a splash and was coming off injury.

I saw that and just hoped he would be able to play a full career decently just to have a great comeback story. Then he wounds up being an all time great. Really awesome to watch.

As Bill Simmons stated, the MVP award now means less than it ever has before.

MVP will be meaningless until tatum wins it, then it is suddenly more important than rings to Bill

Yet he will regret not voting for Jokic for the rest of his life?

Lol Simmons is one of the turds who always says ITS A REGULAR SEASON AWARD but then always uses playoff performances as evidence why voters got it wrong lol

When he dropped like 60, 10, 8, and 8 on my team, I knew that something special was brewing.

So many voters revealing their ballots kind of ruins the surprise haha. We knew Embiid had a big lead at the end of the season.

Yeah it is nice for the baseball HOF since you need 75 percent of ballots and there’s so many voters, but once 15-20 reveal their NBA MVP ballots it kind of gives it away

I was at the game in March when Gobert ran Embiid off the paint in the first half, asked him to take contested middies and 3s. Embiid missed none of them, he was 7’1 Kobe. EMVPiid, well deserved!
