"The mystique of MVP is gone." That summarizes it all. It is lost because of the media talk.
typically what happens when media wants to make it a race war, without that i'm positive everyone would have known who the mvp was lol
as a fan i don’t think so lol
@@michaelperez9156 😂 right
Well that's why I don't pay much attention to the media. I watch games and listen to certain podcasts and thats it
thus only applies for people that are chronically online. The discourse is horrible and it will only get worse. No need to pay attention to it
Always love hearing KD talk so honestly about stuff like this. I'm an Embiid fan but I love that there's multiple guys playing at his level. This league is at such a great spot
KD only values scoring
His top5 is Mike, Lobe Shaq or something like that xd
Loved how KD ended this.. Most definetely was the guy if he didn't get hurt. Lets not forget the unbelievable ball he played at the start of this season leading the Nets to 2nd before going down.
But he's after that Finals MVP this szn 😈😈
It’s cool to see a player of KD’s caliber talk about hoops
Agree with KD! The mystique of MVP has been taken over by story lines, social media debates, and sports media outlets creating it into their own thing
KD is the 🐐
NOT YET
KD is 3rd goat. Right after MJ and Kobe
I couldn't wait til the next one 🔥💯
Facts! He was the MVP!
Love that he knows it
No
No it's not 😅 just a crying baby 😂
@@arteemoos emviip
@@MasterofLightning emviip
Knows that just won because russ was hurt
Leave your MVP in the comments below!
Kevin Wayne Durant
Kevin Durant 55/40/90
KD wit the Ugg slippers 😂
KD No.1 for me every season
Joel Embiid is literally UNSTOPPABLE
Best podcast out👏
This show should be called “That’s our MVP”
The funniest MVP race was 1994 when David Robinson won the MVP over Hakeem Olajuwon. When they met in the playoffs Olajuwon outplayed and humiliated Robinson so bad the reactions of the Rockets sideline are still used as memes on social media.
Evidence that Hakeem was the real MVP that year. Playoffs reveal true value
@@adamstewart247 Like Every year for Embiid right?
Only the goatic is left now..
Wilt, Russell, and Bird are (as of today) the only 3 players to win 3 MVPs in a row.
This is what bothers me about media in general. People debate stuff and don't even know the history of the game. While I do predominantly watch basketball and football, it would be nice if these shows talked about Connor McDavid or some of the other stars having great seasons. They rarely even talk boxing or MMA
@@elbowgang9715 or you could listen to a boxing, NHL, MMA podcast.
Why watch a podcast with Kevin Durant and expect them to talk about MMA? Come on
This is such a good argument by KD for the constant changing of the criteria.
Love it❤❤❤❤
Hey 👋Kevin I love seeing u on the channel 💞💯💥🦋🤗
KD the legend 👏
I’m gon have to cop them uggs, KD be rocking them joints religiously
KD is a great dude!
Kevin was my mvp before the injuries
MINES TOO
Gotta love how KD is just a pure fan of hoop
You better say it with your chest. The knee injury is unfortunate, but I’m expecting another MVP.
MVP
When are we going to get another episode of the ETC?
Lov when kd drop in
💯💯💯#KD#LETSGOSUNS
KD should have 3 reg season MVPs minimum. But injuries played apart 😅
I’m the biggest Stan but jo😂 only 2014. He’s the best player since 2012 tho
@@colinedelman6392 cap
name the seasons he was the mvp other than 2014.. U cant. U jus chatting
No he shouldn’t 😂
@@SmokiiMoc 2012.
Anybody know what’s name of the intro track joint was too hard 🔥
NBA Finals MVP is more interesting because of what Iguodala did in 2014-2015.
Jokić MV3 🇷🇸✨
Hahahah
My dude, love kd..🥰
Kd knows ball
This mvp talk is giving me a headache this year. people are literally obsessed with it. They all truly deserve it, whether it's Embiid Jokic or Giannis.
What's the name of the song in the intro
Most people will say their favorite player deserves the mvp. I would personally give it to embiid. He is ballin on both sides and he led in scoring. Tatum is the runner up.
Not KD wit the Ugg slippers 😂
If kd played enough games he could of been mvp easily
Where is the new epi 🥲
He definitely not gonna say Giannis cause he ran him out the east😹
😂😂 Exactly
KD be so smacked 😂
LaRussell in the background! 🔥
2 in one month? Bless up
I genuinely think Joel is an MVP caliber player and if he wins, he’s totally deserving. I just don’t agree with the “it’s his turn” narrative. We should be evaluating based on the basketball played not outside narratives imo.
If he wins has no relevance whatsoever. The MVP is for regular season only, that's why there's a Finals MVP.
You're missing part of the argument. It's not just that "it's his turn", it's that he's completely deserving based on his play on the court, was also deserving the last 2 seasons which could/should have arguably swung his way (but the fact is you have to pick somebody even if 2 are equally deserving and it went to Jokic both times). People keep misconstruing the argument as if he would just get it this year even if he was clearly worse than others, but that isn't the case.
I don't agree with that it's your turn narrative either
He's the most talented scoring big man of all time, led the league in scoring and makes his team a good defensive squad almost by himself.
He's deserving.
@@MasterofLightning preach is he jokic offensively no but Jordan and magic had 2 different playstyles as well love jokic game but embiids ability as a 7ft shot creator to close out games is it for me Giannis is great with a slightly better team but embiid I think is putting it all together
Y'all already know the name of the MVP, Kevin Durant. You know who he is. 🐐
Joel embiid
@@sirfish9824Lmao no
The should split the mvp award (East-west)since it's second-tier to the finals MVP award which really is ultimate goal no runner up trophys
But as the host you should 100% do your homework
Kd and I. Would’ve had a great conversation on this segment
Nice Kevin
Not at all MVP talk is more intresting than it ever was!
When U got a podcast U got to know Bird got 3 MVP's in a row, especially coz we heard it all season
I would go with Kevin Durant (if he was healthy this year). But I’m going Joel Embiid.
He was in the run for MVP before he got injured on the Nets
It’s a lot of criteria to take into account discussing the MVP.
1. It’s a regular season award whether you like it or not.
2. I feel like it should be based on of course personal stats and record but also how your team plays when you’re not on the court.
Nuggets were atrocious without Jokic last year.
nuggs are always atrocious without jokic.. won't make the palyoffs. bucks, celtics and especially 76ers gonna make the playoffs without their star
How your team performed when you were on/off the court is really the only measure of "value". It wasn't close this year. The 76ers played better without Joel on the court.
@@slXD100 this didn’t age well
@@sensethevillen what didn't age well, you think nuggs would make the playoffs without Jokic?
KD is the goat period
The NBA needs to provide a criteria to the voters. I hate the voters who lean on a “story” of the season or “mvp games”
rad slippers KD :D
😳
Let me know if yall think my new background music to my podcast is dope 👌
W
8:49 is what you guys came for. Enjoy.
Joel as it should is my mvp ❤
Me 2 emviip
Who is this Gonzalez dude he throws me off bruh lol
Fox and Mitchell deserve some mvp love
mitch i dont think so but fox u can make an argument
Jokic didnt average a triple double, it’s incredibly misleading to say that. Was he close ? Yes, being close to doing it isnt doing it though
They should’ve named the Finals MVP after Jordan only cause he has the most all time. I thought it was someone who had more MVPs than Jordan I could be wrong.
He already has the regular MVP named after him, which he didn't win the most of.
@@kb5509 that’s why I said that
I agree
And rename the Larry O’Brian trophy the Bill Russell trophy
The MVP should’ve been named after Kareem
MVP is Embiid! Should've been Durant this year before he got injured.
Kd the real mvp
Durant's meme is the real MVP.
KD ALRIGT💯💯💯💯
I think the NBA is just missing an award. There should be an offensive player of the year or player of the year award.
The NFL and MLB have more awards. Baseball gives out 2 MVPs every year. The NFL has an offensive player of the year award to go along with their defensive player of the year award.
You can see this annoys him that he wants to drag out this conversation out of him. It would have been more interesting to ask him who is his DPOY winner for example, we would have learned a lot more than the same discussion "every of these three could win it, it's not disrespect to the others but blablabla"
According to statistics, who is the best?
To be Nikola Jokić, which is impossible 😅
Dude so high
Jokic is MVP but should he be 3 in a row? Thats why maybe Embiid or Giannis this year
In 2012 kd deserved to be MVP...IMO
Real hoopers know it’s Joel Embiid.
So agree with you or you going to throw insults lmaso ok.... giannis is way better then embiid he makes him look like a baby. But my eyes lie i ant no hooper? Mr. Expert says so😂😂
@@briangibbon3381 Only thing Giannis is better than Embiid at is being reckless and missing free throws
@@yellow1431 Right. Joel’s 50 in game 6 of the finals along with his FMVP, 2 MVPs, and DPOY clearly cement him over Giannis. Oh Wait..
@@yiannisschmalz6574 Giannis would’ve been a second round out if it wasn’t for harden and kyrie injuries
@@MarioPeepsfacts game 7 toe on the line with the injuries. But he still did win it so I gotta give him the credit he was hooping.
Giannis Jokic Embiid are all playing at the MVP level. But to be honest I think this year belongs to Jokic in terms of the impact, team ranking and win ratio when they are on/off the court. Ppl keep talking about his defense but if you really watch their game Jokic's offense is ridiculously other-worldly to make up the defense side. That's how they constantly win the game. But considering Joel performs as MVP level and hasn't gotten one, and Jokic showing no interest in this award(this really hurt his case), I think Joel deserve to get one this year.
Get it out yo mouth bro
You took the words right out of my mouth. I have the same thought. But whoever wins the trophy they deserve it.
LMFAO delusional
KD don't worry. As a member of the Embiid fans we gotchu on the TL
Bill Russell, wilt chamberlain and Larry bird all won the nba mvp 3 times straight before.
Jokic, Giannis and Embiid can get all the MVPs they want…
They can’t have this chip tho 🏆
👀
You sure about that lol,seems to me that giannis has a chance to get a second ring
@@just1992 😂😂😂😂😂
Embid is the only one without a ring
No matter who wins the MVP award, it’s not the ultimate goal anyway, and not nearly as big as winning the ring.
Get my mans a bigger chair 😂
Embiid is pretty much asking for it now.
🧢🧢🧢
Nope embiid deserves it he having a great great season leading scorer
@@sbkamara2003 So does Joker and Giannis, but they don't moan about it.
@Joe Trump truth until they don't win the mvp lol 😂
@@sbkamara2003 show me where either of them moaned about it before they won
Do you guys think KD is stoned? Comment below who you want to see get cheifed next!!
To Eddie's comment @ 5:51. He WOULDN'T be the "first ever" person to win three straight MVP's in a row, even if he got it this year. Bird did it, and so did Russell and Chamberlain. *edit* Nvm. KD mentioned it. lol
The way the title says embiid or jokic as if giannis isnt an option. Weak af
I mean if Steph & now KD say Embid is the MVP now what I’m gon‘ say.
Milling the story in circles haha
As a Jokic fan I can tell you I dont care about MVp and when Jokic wins the ring he will prove who was the most valuable player of this season.
Like Njegoš
🤣🤣🤣
So then you do care? What lmao
@@connord5505 Its obvious that its all rigged for Embiid to get it this year, Jokic is averaging triple double in regular season and when Denver wins it will be because hes the real MVP. Basketball illiterate majority of the players in the league (San Antonio and couple other teams exceptions) cannot contain Jokic. Not a brute force goon but the one that mind breaks them.
@@lanelesic jokic doesn’t even get doubled. Embiid gets triple teamed. Also embiid is a better scorer not much worse of a passer. He’s a better rebounder he just doesn’t stat pad rebounds. He’s a way better defender and that’s 50% of the game.
JOEL EMBIID
I’m tired of the GOAT conversation also.
He ain’t the only 3 time MVP
Going to have to reassess his choice for mvp, since joker is destroying him in this round of the playoffs
💋🤴🏿
Look how big his feet are 😂😂
If you came from twitter
8:52
KD I know you dated Notisha Womack 😂😂😂😂 btw you live by Woodson/an McDonald’s Donald’s and gas station
Numbers say who is clearcut mvp and have best record overall. Let's pretend to be blind and give to Embid. IDK did Jokic dodge Embid last encounter of regural season? BLIND AGENDA with the clueles Perkins at the top of it. Started doubting people IQ really this past month involved with NBA, it's gettin real fun how they they wanna paint it so Embid get it but honestly Embid is second this year and was third best behind Janis last 2 seasons and it's true just look the stats and records.
Mike has 6 mvps
5
MANS GOT ON A NUGGETS HAT THAN ALMOST BUSSED OFF WHEN HE STARTING TALKING ABOUT JOKIC LOL
Giannis is the mvp
