Jamal argues Jokić is the better pick over Embiid despite acknowledging Embiid's MVP case. Jokić averages 30 points without hunting shots, relies on skill over athleticism, and stays healthy, while Embiid's dominance depends on avoiding injuries.

Joker, MB, who you rolling with? And why? MB's more dominant and he should have won MVP if he doesn't get hurt. But I think Joker, when you just factor in health, I think he's— and health's nobody's fault, but I'm just saying his style of play, he doesn't use athleticism. I have to go with Joker. Joker's playing the game backwards. My man averages 30 points and he doesn't wanna score. That's fact. That's a fact. Brother, I don't wanna score. Here, here, here. And he still gets 30. Then he can still play big boy basketball as well. But the way he flows and the way he plays, he plays a lot. Like, he's not missing games. And it's not nobody's fault. Like I said, I had injuries. I missed a year before, but I have to go with Joker.
