The MVP race for the 2021-22 NBA season has been one of the best in recent memory, with three big men—Nikola Jokic, Joel Embiid and Giannis Antetokounmpo—all having worthy cases to win this year’s hardware. If it were up to 2014 MVP Kevin Durant, the choice would be simple: Embiid.
Durant said the 76ers big man is who he would choose as this season’s MVP, touting his team’s success and the fact that the 7-footer led the league in scoring at 30.6 points per game. He also acknowledged that the other contenders would also be worthy selections.
