Folks, we now have a full blown controversy on our hands. Up until this week, it was all fun and games, right last week, maybe two weeks ago, it was Yoki Yoki, Joki, Joki, Jokis Jokic is the MVP, undisputed MVP. Anyone you ask, it's Jokic, no matter who you asked, is it MB No? Is it Yannis? No? Is it Dame? No, It's only Jokic. Every single person Jokic. They're the number one seed in

the West. Yokis finally has his help. Look how much good, how much better they are with with Jamal Murray on the team now healthy and Michael Porter Junior on the team healthy. Watch this, Oh my god, he's better than it was last year. And then you know what they all wanted to give him three of them in a row. Right, That was the whole historic thing. And even me, I was sucked into it, sucked into the propaganda machine of the Jokic. The Jokic deep state is what I'm calling it.

The Jokic deep state is what I'm calling it. And I'm not here at slander Yokic. I like him. I think he could definitely deserve MVP. There is no shade to him. But why happened at the trade deadline changed everything. They got Reggie Jackson, who I said was terrible, and the Denver Nuggets have not been the same since. Jokic has been good, He's been incredible at times, and the Denver Nuggets have been losing. They're really bad defensively and

they just are losing to terrible teams. And all of a sudden, you look up and Joel Embiid is the leader in the clubhouse for MVP minus one seventy five. He's been awesome. Sixers have been awesome. He's the leading scorer in the NBA right now and there are like six guys averaging over thirty. He has been clutch. He has been incredible. They have the same record as the Nuggets. They stand in second in the East. Things have shifted twenty games left. Embiid appears ready to steal the MVP,

just like Yokic did from MB last year. So if you're a Yokic fan, if you're a part of the deep state, what do you do? What do you do? You call your friends up at Sirius XM radio and you bring on some guests that you have in your pocket to say some shit, to say some crazy ass shit. To bring the narrative back to Jokic. What do you say, Joel Embiid is lazy? No, no, no, not not just that he's lazy. He takes plays off at the end

of games. Doesn't matter that he's regularly one of the most clutch players in the NBA, that he's only behind i Aaron Fox's most clutch scorer in the NBA in fourth quarters. According to those guys, it's not just that he's lazy. It's not just that he takes plays off. It's that his manner hysms are lazy. His body language is lazy. Joel Embid most points per minute in NBA history, that's the lazy guy. Him him, This is crazy. George Carl Agent zero both went on serious XMNBA and what

do they say. Can't be Joel Embiid for the MVP because he takes too and he plays off at the end of games, and he's just generally slovenly. He's just a sloth out there. You just watch him and you're like, yeah, he doesn't want to move that fast. This is against Yukic. Yukich is an exactly wiley coyote out there, Are we serious? Joel embiid averaging thirty seven points per game, eight and a half rebounds in Forrest's and two point one blocks

in the month of March. Lazy guy, that's him. How do you average over a steal and over a block per game and be lazy? This is outrageous. I can't even it took me. It was such an outrageous take. It took me a while to get outraged because it didn't exactly hit my brain, hit my cerebellum and start to like sink in, like, let's be honest, Jokic is

kind of kind of lazy sometimes. On defense, you got Joel embi one of the best defenders in the league, one of the most clutch players in the league, averaging more points in the league than anyone else for the entire season, most in March, highest pere player efficiency rating in the league, which, by the way, has won eight years in a row for MVP. But no, no, the only thing we can say about himb in terms of why Jokic is the MVP and not him is that

he's lazy. Here, if you don't believe me this, you might think I'm just trolling because I could understand why you would think that. Let's just listen to George carl Our, resident NBA former head coach. Why don't you think mbat is in the race?

Speaker 2

Coach to me, I don't want to bad mov mbid because I think he's really really good. I mean a lot of my sequent coaches were in Philadelphia when he was a young player, and they kept telling me he's gonna be the best guy ever to play the game. That's the big guy I ever to play the game. I see him moving in that direction, but he takes it. I don't know. He takes too many possessions off. He has lazy body language. He's get angry at things that

we don't understand why. I just don't know if he's that that NBA NBA pro that we all love because he's a competitive soob and he does. But you know, from what I know in Philadelphia, everybody says he's playing great. The games I've seen, he has played really really well, and he's played great in the fourth quarters, come with a lot of comeback wins. I just think it might be my You know, I can I can only like one big guy, and I'm gonna take Yoki over.

Speaker 1

What in the literal fuck are you saying? Also, really quick side note, because this is how it started. Uh, George Carl, isn't he the same guy who, when Doc Rivers became the head coach of the Orlando Magic, said that he didn't like all of these Afro American head coaches being anointed. He said, Doc does a great job. Now there's gonna be four or five more anointments of the Afro American coach, which is fine, because I think they've been screwed deep down inside. They have been screwed.

But I have a great assistant coach that can't even get an interview. Wait, okay, George Kyle. Isn't this the same guy George Carl who said that Kenyon Martin and Carmelo Anthony were entitled and also lazy because they had two big burdens, all that money and no father to show them how to act like a man. He wrote that in his book, George Carl, He said, George Carl in his book, I'm reading the excerpt right now as you've read, I grew up in a safe suburban neighborhood. Pause.

Oh my god, George Carl, U with both my parents. I had a second father, the most moral, decent man. I knew. I never made enough money as a player to get confused about who I was. When I compare my background to Kenyons and Carmelos, it's no wonder we had a few problems. Yep, same dude, same dude calling Joel MB lazy with lazy mannerisms and lazy body language. And you know who I really liked, that hard working serbian dude, Jokic, the one who is legitimately a sieve

on defense. And everybody's trying to find advanced analytics, even me, try and find advanced analytics to show that Yogic is a better defender than what we see with our own two eyes, because sometimes he takes multiple plays off in a row and just passes the way. Yes, yes, that guy is a harder worker than Joel Embiid. Let's look at the stats. MB's defensive stats this year include ten point two rebounds ninth in the NBA, one point seven blocks six in the NBA, one point one steals per game.

Do you know how many players in the NBA have over one block and one steal per game? Three? Exactly three? One of them is not Nikoloa Jokic, Jaron Jackson, the leader in the clubhouse for Defensive Player of the Year, Shay Goldis Alexander maybe the most underrated defensive guard in the league. And Joel Embiid. I can't believe you guys got me fucking standing for the Philadelphia seventy six ers. You got me coming in and doing this because of

the deep state? Did I mention? Embiid has been named with three All NBA defensive teams already in his career. Pretty good for a lazy guy with lazy mannerisms. Just lazy. He just walks lazy, just walks from the tunnel, walks from the bush to the tunnel. He's lazy. The way he walks around his house is lazy. His offense is the best in the NBA, that is a statistical fact.

His defense all NBA. His defense is even more incredible when you consider that now his role has changed on the Philadelphia seventy six Ers to being a roamer on the back side of the of the defense, more active role that allows him to hunt blocks and defend the perimeter. Do I even need to find out how many miles he runs per game? Do I need to do that? Do we need to get a whoop on Joel Embiid? Do we need to put an orr ring on Joel Embiid in order to refute these racist dads' claims. People

are out of their minds. They're either being used or they're part of the deep state. George Carl for sure in the deep state. Gilberterena is just trying to be relevant. Joel Embiid says this about his new role. I think it makes sense with our team, just someone that can protect the rim. We got a lot of guys that like to be aggressive, and then we have a lot of breakdowns defensively, So if you're gonna have your best rim protector on his stretch five, probably doesn't make a

lot of sense. Or they're gonna have a lot of wide open layups, it makes sense for the team for me to roam. Gilberterena says this, I don't see the quantum leap from Joel Embiid. It he takes a lot of possessions off. He usually die out in the fourth quarter when he gets tired. These people aren't watching games dies in the fourth quarter. Asian zero. If MB died in the fourth quarter. How could he be the second

most clutchbook scorer in the NBA. How he's shooting fifty percent and eighty five percent from the free throw throw line in the fourth quarter this year, He has a plus one twelve fourth a year in the fourth quarter alone. Get the fuck out of here with this bullshit. MBID might just mess around and still get the MVP. It's gonna be one hell of a race. And I tell you what, the machine is gonna get louder and louder and louder because they want that boy Jokic to win three straight MVPs.
