    Embiid over Doncic, easily.

  2. Menagerie on May 26, 2022 at 12:21 am

    Official NBA stats require 70% of games played. Shouldn’t that be a part of qualifying for All NBA? At least make them play 57 games. Better than no lower limit of GP.

    No he didn’t

  4. @drion on May 26, 2022 at 12:23 am

    Yea he did. For most of the season he was the leader for mvp up until the last 2 months. So they should’ve made space for him there over tatum I believe.

  5. Islam Khalil on May 26, 2022 at 12:25 am

    JJ is so right!! NBA needs to have clearer criteria and guidelines for these awards! I been saying that for years

  6. 24 Servings on May 26, 2022 at 12:25 am

    JJ is the balance we need on ESPN‼️

  7. Own Your Masters on May 26, 2022 at 12:26 am

    JJ needs to be NBA Commissioner! He’s on point with his NBA office insights!

  8. Harold Gonzalez on May 26, 2022 at 12:26 am

    The best thing ESPN has done since i can remember, is hire JJ Redick

  9. THA KANG on May 26, 2022 at 12:28 am

    Jj Reddick comin in talkin bout all these things that need to change .. jus stfu already. Embiid made 2nd team big deal you lost in the 2nd round. Try to win a chip move on from fake accolades.

  10. Olukokun Adedeji on May 26, 2022 at 12:29 am

    NBA voting is messed up

  11. Paul Harris on May 26, 2022 at 12:32 am

    Wow, I had no idea that much money was involved.

  12. EaglesFan592 on May 26, 2022 at 12:33 am

    now there was no need for kemba to catch a stray here…he deserved all-nba that year too smh

  13. Notebook. on May 26, 2022 at 12:34 am

    LeBron getting Third-Team instead of Second-Team over KD is a crime to me. I know their stats were almost identical (despite Bron’s FG% being a bit higher), but that 56-piece & 50-piece in a single week tipped the scale for me. Him making All-NBA for the 18th time, the most in NBA History, is insane by itself, though. I just wish his team as a whole didn’t waste another MVP Caliber season from the L-Train.

  14. Trenton Pearson on May 26, 2022 at 12:35 am

    Devin Booker should be off the first team and named to the second team. the main is overrated.

  15. Kendrick Jackson on May 26, 2022 at 12:35 am

    I would rather have Jokic on the Bucks than Joel

  16. Sergio Diaz on May 26, 2022 at 12:38 am

    I’m tired of hearing about Joel. Jokic is better get over it. It’s not taking away from his greatness.

  17. Michael Foster on May 26, 2022 at 12:39 am

    No, no he didn’t. Jokic and Giannis had better season. Not taking anything away from him but it’s just a fact. Get over it.

  18. david isaackson on May 26, 2022 at 12:39 am

    embiid was average against the Heat

  19. Zen Master Terpens on May 26, 2022 at 12:39 am

    Love you Joel

  20. L. Smith on May 26, 2022 at 12:39 am

    None of this stuff matters because voting is flawed as Jj said. Just dumb.

  21. Wes Wesley on May 26, 2022 at 12:42 am

    First off I thought the mvp was unanimous first team all nba and let’s be honest Embiid didn’t have a better season than Giannis

  22. Mario Carby on May 26, 2022 at 12:43 am

    jj still mad about toronto why choose pascal

  23. Justin Chin on May 26, 2022 at 12:43 am

    I had no idea that’s how a player is eligible for a supermax…that is so stupid

  24. NBA Quiz Questions on May 26, 2022 at 12:43 am

    A. Stephen, We’re aware that you have a vote. This is something you mention in every part about this.

  25. Jack on May 26, 2022 at 12:44 am

    JJ is the best, him and Stephen A are so dope, and JJ made great points

  26. Starship Captain on May 26, 2022 at 12:44 am

    First, Second and Third Team NBA:
    1) Giannis, Joker, LeBron, Embiid and Curry
    2) Luka, Durant, Tatum, Booker and Morant
    3) Butler, Young, DeRozan, Lavine and Siakim.

  27. Jonathan Sykes on May 26, 2022 at 12:46 am

    Giannis is better than Embiid and so is Jokic.

  28. Justin Crawley on May 26, 2022 at 12:47 am

    Wait a minute….. so we are going to sit here and talk about embid being snubbed’ and gloss over BOOKER making first team?!🤣🤣🤣🤣

  29. Plug'd N on May 26, 2022 at 12:48 am

    It’s a popularity contest

  30. paulette thorne on May 26, 2022 at 12:48 am

    I remember that vividly and they told Klay in front of the media, Klay was PISSED

  31. Tha truth hurts on May 26, 2022 at 12:53 am

    With you having a vote is a joke 🤦‍♂️

  32. Trap323a on May 26, 2022 at 12:55 am

    Kemba had a better year! Stop this shyt Stephen A! This not an all time award! What happened that year!

  33. Morgen Malong on May 26, 2022 at 12:58 am

    JJ and Mad Dog on the show – best!

  34. South Phillly Guy on May 26, 2022 at 12:58 am

    They drawn…. Sincerely, A Sixers Fan.

  35. SuperDopeHipHop on May 26, 2022 at 12:59 am

    I’m glad they didn’t have 2 centers on first team all nba bc that’s how it’s always been done in the history or else Russell/Wilt/Kareem/Hakeem/Shaq/Ewing/Robinson would have more 1st team All NBAs!

    If they want to change it moving forward sure especially in more and more positionless basketball but I have zero problem with Embiid or Jokic being 2nd team bc all those great centers I mentioned being 2nd team instead of 1st.

  36. Manne Di on May 26, 2022 at 12:59 am

    Do it frontcourt and backcourt

  37. Tom on May 26, 2022 at 12:59 am

    This is such a boring conversation.
    There is one C in the team. Jokic is the MVP and is a centre. It is isn’t that complicated.

  38. Brett T on May 26, 2022 at 1:05 am

    If Jokic won the MVP how can embiid be 1st team

  39. bye692001 on May 26, 2022 at 1:07 am

    The mdia cost Klay $30million, and he still got paid like $160million. Boho Klay, cry me a river

  40. Rocks D. Xebec on May 26, 2022 at 1:07 am

    Yes

  41. hudsonlawrence on May 26, 2022 at 1:09 am

    Its a joke sportscasters pick MVP. Means nothing.

  42. Chris Manhoff on May 26, 2022 at 1:10 am

    Lebron played in 57 games and made 3rd team.

  43. Marko M on May 26, 2022 at 1:10 am

    Make it the best 15 players. Squeezing in a Bam Adebayo or Rudy Gobert in best 15 just to do so is a joke. Not a knock on those guys, but they could have realistically been third team if KAT didn’t have a great season. Why are we pretending this is an actual "team" that will play a game together.

  44. Master Lee on May 26, 2022 at 1:10 am

    I like the selection process as it stands. This is a reward for the most elite player for their position, and it is something to desire and strive for. The NBA does not need to dilute the awarding like they have with the Hall Of Fame.

  45. Garrett Phifer on May 26, 2022 at 1:11 am

    hey Embid all that whining and crying has gotten u a bad reputation I’m just saying

  46. 24 Servings on May 26, 2022 at 1:11 am

    LBJ was snubbed he averages 30 at 37 & they actually act as if it doesn’t mean anything ‼️

  47. david isaackson on May 26, 2022 at 1:13 am

    congrats to the Miami Heat beating Boston in game 5 by 22 points headed to Golden State. Lets go Heat !!!!!

  48. FGVFSS8409 on May 26, 2022 at 1:14 am

    I use to like First take but Perkins kills it for me. JJ the man!

  49. miagaaa on May 26, 2022 at 1:15 am

    Give J.J. Redick his own show ASAP!

  50. Basil Carpenter jr on May 26, 2022 at 1:16 am

    I like it the way they got it 2 gaurds 2 forward 1 center it makes u all nba at ur position I thought that was the ideal of it
