Embiid over Doncic, easily.
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
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.
JJ is so right!! NBA needs to have clearer criteria and guidelines for these awards! I been saying that for years
JJ is the balance we need on ESPN‼️
JJ needs to be NBA Commissioner! He’s on point with his NBA office insights!
The best thing ESPN has done since i can remember, is hire JJ Redick
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.
NBA voting is messed up
Wow, I had no idea that much money was involved.
now there was no need for kemba to catch a stray here…he deserved all-nba that year too smh
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.
Devin Booker should be off the first team and named to the second team. the main is overrated.
I would rather have Jokic on the Bucks than Joel
I’m tired of hearing about Joel. Jokic is better get over it. It’s not taking away from his greatness.
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.
embiid was average against the Heat
Love you Joel
None of this stuff matters because voting is flawed as Jj said. Just dumb.
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
jj still mad about toronto why choose pascal
I had no idea that’s how a player is eligible for a supermax…that is so stupid
A. Stephen, We’re aware that you have a vote. This is something you mention in every part about this.
JJ is the best, him and Stephen A are so dope, and JJ made great points
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.
Giannis is better than Embiid and so is Jokic.
Wait a minute….. so we are going to sit here and talk about embid being snubbed’ and gloss over BOOKER making first team?!🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s a popularity contest
I remember that vividly and they told Klay in front of the media, Klay was PISSED
With you having a vote is a joke 🤦♂️
Kemba had a better year! Stop this shyt Stephen A! This not an all time award! What happened that year!
JJ and Mad Dog on the show – best!
They drawn…. Sincerely, A Sixers Fan.
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.
Do it frontcourt and backcourt
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.
If Jokic won the MVP how can embiid be 1st team
The mdia cost Klay $30million, and he still got paid like $160million. Boho Klay, cry me a river
Yes
Its a joke sportscasters pick MVP. Means nothing.
Lebron played in 57 games and made 3rd team.
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.
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.
hey Embid all that whining and crying has gotten u a bad reputation I’m just saying
LBJ was snubbed he averages 30 at 37 & they actually act as if it doesn’t mean anything ‼️
congrats to the Miami Heat beating Boston in game 5 by 22 points headed to Golden State. Lets go Heat !!!!!
I use to like First take but Perkins kills it for me. JJ the man!
Give J.J. Redick his own show ASAP!
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
