You’re contradicting the premise of your own position
I’m not debating what the award is based on
I’m debating that Joker is more deserving of the award based on the criteria for judgement
In one instance you take the stance that it doesn’t matter that he’s putting up a historically bad playoff performance for an MVP (if he wins it)
Then you’re expecting him to perform to a certain standard in the playoffs…?
I said bodied
Dirk in 07 won a couple of games
Russ in 17 managed to not get swept
Joker gets swept…that’s something we haven’t seen before
You said this happens every few years…but we’ve only managed to come up with 2 examples…?
AND
If you recall…both Dirk’s and Russ’s MVPs were debated
Most thought Kobe should have won in 07
and a lot of people didn’t think Russ deserved the award being that it was based on his statistical accomplishment, while still being WestBrick (kind of ironic…don’t cha think (c))

IMO, people weren’t watching the games
They were listening to hot takes, reading boxscores and creating mathematical equations based on analytics

The reason it’s a bigger issue in the playoffs is we are actually watching them play back to back
It’s as plain as day, Joker is not the MVP
Embiid is…if you actually watch basketball games.
