Multiple Sixers take to social media to react to Joel Embiid’s MVP award

Philadelphia 76ers star big man Joel Embiid finally earned his first MVP award after a dominant 2022-23 season. The big fella led the league in scoring, he was dominant on the defensive end, and he was efficient in both his field goal percentage and his ability to get to the free-throw line. That efficiency allowed him to average 33.1 points per game.

Embiid ended up getting 73 first place votes while Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic had 15 and Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo had 12. All three players were more than worthy of winning the MVP award, but it was obvious that Embiid deserved the award after finishing as the runner-up two years in a row.

In the wake of Embiid’s MVP announcement, his teammates took to different social media sites to give their congratulations and praise to the big fella. Some took to Twitter while some went to Instagram to celebrate their MVP leader.
