In this YouTube short, Draymond Green argues that Joel Embiid should move to the No. 1 spot on the NBA MVP ladder. He highlights Embiid’s recent high‑scoring games (multiple 37‑39 point performances) and his ability to lead the Philadelphia 76ers to victories. Green contrasts this with the Denver Nuggets’ recent slide, noting their losses and the impact on their MVP candidate’s standing. He stresses that MVP voting should consider the whole body of work—including team success—not just raw statistics, and acknowledges the race remains tight and could still change with the remaining games.

Chapters

Joel Embiid has been on a tear. 39 here, 39 there, uh, 37. And he's willing his team to win. I think that has to account for something. And the Nuggets have been sliding. In my MVP race with 13 games to go, or however many games these teams got, I think Joel has started to create a little separation now. In saying that, it's still super close, so that can still change, but I think right now Uh, when the next MVP ladder comes out, Joel gotta take that number 1 spot because I think he's been playing that way. His team's been winning. And then also, like I said, if you look at the Nuggets, they've had a little slippage. They've lost a few games. And that matters. Uh, that matters in this tight MVP race because you have to take the whole body of work. Uh, it just can't be a numbers thing.
