Absolutely love the 65 game rule. It’s competition, this is how you must compete at the top.
It’s a terrible rule that no one favors unless it hurts someone they don’t like
@@WeyesC how can you be MVP if you are misssing more then 17 games of 82...Dude legit dodging nuggets every year now...
I agree, no more Mvps only playing 55 games. Embiid will have another chance like everybody else next season. Hope he gets better tho, he’s great to watch!
@@leonkro5427 he’s 6-2 against the nuggets when he plays averaging almost 40 on em last I checked lil guy but ok, and because you can still be the most valuable player while missing some games you troglodyte 😭
Yeah, people playing injured so they don’t miss 40+ million dollars then we don’t have them for the playoffs. You would love something like this.
The players created the need for the 65 game limit, by sitting out for no reason. No one should cry for these guys.
The real issue is all the voters who make dumb choices, or who get blinded by superstardom. Just put all the factors together, and make an intelligent choice about who you think deserves to be an MVP, or who you think deserves to be on the first team all nba. Why is that so hard?
Like, if you can just make an honest fucking decision based off all the factors, and use durability as one of the factors, then there shouldn’t be an issue.
@@lylewalker5681 mvp is nornally fine bc they use games played but nba first team and all those awards are just like the all star game. Its just a popularity contest for alot of players
The players ?? You mean the coaches that tell them not to play.
@@purpleperc1012 players run the league fam.
name those players @dapssports
17 games is a lot of games. this rule is great. you shouldnt miss more than 17 games unless you have a very bad injury and in that case you shouldnt be in the conversation for awards anyway.
65 is like okayish, what do you think about 70 games? 65 out of 82 is 79%, but 70 out of 82 is 85%. If you are best of the best, you should be playing around 90% of games in regular season Imo.
@@stefkoblnah
@@stefkoblthats dumb asl. The players aren’t some godlike beings that automatically heal overnight after playing their heart out the day before. Asking them to play more than 90% of the games is ridiculous. There might be more injuries because they would try to compete through fatigue to win. I’d argue it should be more like a 60 game rule.
@@stefkoblI think 65 is fine, remember 65 is just to be eligible, if someone played 65 on the dot and another player 80 that should be factored in when people vote
They did 65 since embiids won the MVP last year and the NBA knows they would have gotten heat if they made it higher when the MVP didn't even play the minimum number. His mvp last year was already an asterisk with how much he begged for it when we all know it was jokics.
Can't deny what embiids is doing this season (with his flopping and refs are calling it) but it's 100% not working in the playoffs. Too many eyes on playoff games and they aren't going to call flopping for bad publicity. It's already bad enough
That's insane !!!! For the first time in a while the NBA is doing the right thing and they still have a problem . If you can't play the majority of the regular season, don't do it . But you can't have regular season honors and extra money if you can't even be on the court ...
Yes you can lol this rule won’t last long
No way you’re telling me haliburton isn’t aall NBA/ a super max player
@@TheChamp_89Tyrese Haliburton is but he has been injured which suck but thats how it works
@@TheChamp_89 dummy, you don't need the rule, it's COMMON SENSE... a guy playing 75 games provides more value than the guy playing 60
@@TheChamp_89the best ability is availability
@@TheChamp_89 Yep , he is not , if he misses the more than 65 games this regular season . Imagine if you were the best in your job and only worked 1 day a week . Nobody would give you a bonus for that lol
Ever since I saw Embiid play around 6 years ago, I've always inevitably compared him to jokic and said that the best ability is availability. It doesn't matter how good you are if you are always on the bench hurt. Joel Embiid's playing style is uncontrolled and dangerous and the main reason he gets injured. He falls 10 times in a game while Jokic falls about 1 time every 20 games. Joel flops dramatically many times a game while Jokic also flops but he just does an arm flail instead of falling on the floor on most flops. Jokic doesn't sprain an ankle cause he doesn't even jump, Joel likes to slam the ball and jump as high as he can. That's a lot of pressure on his knees. It's hard being an Embiid fan just like it's hard being an AD fan.
I've always said this too, I think Jokic will remain dominant for longer than Joel will because while Embiid relies heavily on his physical ability, athleticism and jumpshooting, as players get older, their jumpshot is affected cause they can't jump like they used to and their game worsens cause they're not as athletic, physically dominant nor have the stamina. Jokic relies on his basketball IQ, his witts, his craftiness and his passing which will only get better with age. Also he doesn't even have a jumpshot for it to decline cause just heaves it and barely gets off the ground. His playstyle may be boring but in the long run I believe it will prove to be more lasting.
Jamal Crawford is a vampire. He doesn't age at all!
Bro averages more free throw attempts than Shaq did. His flopping caught up to him.
You definitely gonna get Karma for that
@@kjjr3270He's actually correct. FTA during the Hack-A-Shaq era vs Joel Embid. Joel Embid actually puts out more FTAs than Shaq did.

Injuries suck, but the dude is heavy and goes to the ground so often (even with minimal contact) to draw fouls this is bound to happen eventually.
He was tryna recover the ball not draw a foul
Are you stupid
@@oumarroudiaby2637exactly
@@oumarroudiaby2637 yeah, this time... they guy is speaking of what happens OVERALL
It’s instructed by the team doctors to fall down cause it’s better for the knees 💀 but let me know you don’t know the situation without telling me
The rule is a good rule. If you are injured, dont play. If you lose out on money or awards, while that sucks, thats what happens in life. If I get injured and have to miss work, im not going to be able to get that bonus or employee of the month/year whatever.
Each player is responsible for their body and shouldnt risk a bonus or award for it. More durable players get rewarded for being more durable as that is part of the game.
He walked off on his own. hopefully that’s an indication it’s not a season ending injury. However, the guy is too big to be flopping on the floor like that all the time. He tries to draw fouls every damn play. eventually someone is gonna land on him
He's not flopping to draw fouls that's just a narrative people run with a couple years ago he said he learned how fall to keep from getting injured and he gets legit fouls because nobody can stop him
he flops@@rellwill231

Gotta play games if you want awards and compensation. Blame all the guys who used and abused load management wasting fans money and time. Silver made the right decision.
They really tryna make you feel bad for these dudes get54 million dollar just for bonus and they didnt even do whats needed for the money 😂😂cant make this shit up people.
54million dollar bonus and a 1st-2nd round exit while playing 50 games because of load management.. these announcers really love player empowerment but dont realize when viewership goes down because of their BS everything including their salaries would be affected.. dumb idiots
Peak capitalism
The flaw with capitalism is the same flaw that every other system has. The people at the top of the system abuse it. It's a people in power problem. Capitalism, socialism, communism, it's all bad because of the people who run it. That being said capitalism has still done more for the world than any other system. Certainly has lifted more out of poverty than any other system. I challenge you to prove me wrong.
owners make billions. and you feel bad for them every time a player whines. can't make this shit up indeed.
@@thetrib1 I feel bad for the fans fruitcake not the owners nice reach tho boy
Awe 65 games is too much? Then shorten the season and take a pay cut since you don’t wanna play all the games. These dudes are so pampered and get paid entirely too much money to be acting like this.
this!! how about the NBA refunding tickets when the viewers dont get to watch their favorite player even when those players dont even have injuries?? players today are already soft adding more player empowerment bullshit to that and they get alot softer
Seems like you a bandwagon player fan. Aren't we watching games for the love of the sport and not the superstars? @legenddaryl537
nah, just goes to show there is things more important than money. happiness/longevity of your body. bro, its the same reason we lost Chris Bosh.
@@milesdeep4486you can have love for the game and watch from the couch. But when you finally get to go and see a game I’d be willing to bet a large majority of the people buying tickets want to see the star players, not just some role players playing ball.
@@HokageHustle88so then a shortened season is the only answer then right? If it’s so hard on their bodies to play all 82 games and they are going to have an arbitrary number now of 65 games played to qualify for MVP. Then it seems to me like the season needs to be shortened.
65 + rule got this man stressing 😂😂😂 Looking like another 2nd round exit cause the Knicks and Pacers got better by adding OG and Siakim.
yup.. embiid is hungry for more individual accolades.. we gonna see this man play even at the end of the season just to be qualified for his awards while jokic will be rested when they already secured their playoff spot.. jokic play for championship and the side effect of it is he is having MVP numbers while Embiid is playing for MVP's and the side effect of it is he getting injured in the playoffs and always 2nd round exit
Knicks look scary rn, coming from a Boston fan. That boi Brunson been popping off even more than usual the last 3-5 weeks.
Karma for sitting out when he was healthy
Jokic is an all time great, Embiid is just a great regular season player. They are not the same 😂
i think if knicks have mitchell robinson back for the playoffs they take down philly at full strength with absolute healthiest embiid... they are just too tough and that alone is enough to overcome the mentally weak embood
Why should someone be MVP or all NBA, if they don't play enough games?
That was probably the least brutal looking injury ever
Gsw won this game and is still the 14 seed😂
Nah I’m suffering from the same injury and it hurts almost as bad as breaking a bone lmao idk tho I have a meniscus tear so
@@MBakaGodEmbiid also has a meniscus tear
seriously, like I don't doubt that it is a serious and painful injury, but it doesn't have that thing where I it makes me want to look away.
That 65+ rule really gonna hurt him this year
Then dont always get hurt. Cry babies
If his injury is not serious,then thats all his fault because he just missed a couple games without any reasons at all,that’s what he should get
Not wishing for his downfall but it’s almost deserved. He’s constantly going for 40+ games. Which forces him to miss games because he puts out so much energy. Then he’s been ducking playing Jokic in Denver since 2019. It’s been 5 years 😭. He didn’t play the last 2 games which one of them was in Denver.
If only he wasnt flopping so much hurting his huge and heavy body with all of that stupid stuff for years.
@@MayDay0510you can’t say Joel is ducking Jokic when he absolutely embarrasses him every time they play. It’s the most one sided head to head matchup in the NBA today
For 200 Million Dollars, they should play 8 hours a game.
You sound bitter 😂
you're broke and mad you gotta work 8 hours a day and make not even a penny compared to them
we gonna see a 3rd MVP for either Jokic or Giannis, that's for sure.
could be a first for shai?
Why doesn’t Luka ever get mentioned? Put some respect on his name
Luka and not even close 35/9/8 nobody is on his level
Nope

nah... Jokic is legit coasting in the regular season this year. He doesnt want that MVP attention
The owners HAD to make a rule to get these soft modern players to play games. Load management is bullshit and the fans were suffering..Nobody buys these over prices tickets to see their favorite players sit on the bench resting. 😒
Worked for San Antonio and their aging core.
yup.. when back in the day most players played 82 games.. imagine 82 games of greatness from MJ, kareem and kobe.. many of those goated players played every game they could possibly play and they still gain alot of accolades while this soft ass players of today requires alot of rest and yet many of them dont even win championships.. wtf happened to the game we loved

@@legenddaryl537Jokic and Giannis are the exception.
Love the rule tbh.. People resting need to be held accountable
Play if you‘re healthy, if you aren‘t don‘t. If you play to win MVP you do not play for the right reason.
He can say bye bye to that MVP
Yaaaaay a season ending injury. I hope it's happening. Been praying for this all season
65 games is a very reasonable threshold... is so reasonable that even Kawhi is playing games now... same as AD... it is annoying when you want to watch a game and all best players are sitting out and the game becomes irrelevant
Theyre talking about how often he gets hurt....
....when yall gonna be ready to talk about how its the fault of his play style that hes always hurt? All that flopping to the ground any time someone looks at him wrong takes its toll over time..like body blows in boxing. Being 285 pounds and constantly diving on the floor for foul calls is gonna put some extra wear and tear on your already physically taxed body.
Oh no, that's unfortunate to hear about Joel Embiid getting injured. Injuries are always tough for players and their teams. Hopefully, he recovers quickly and gets back on the court soon. In the meantime, let's send some positive vibes his way and hope for the best. Injuries are never fun, but the important thing is for him to take the time he needs to heal properly. Wishing him a speedy recovery!
Guys miss too much games. I like the 65 game rule. Sucks when a guy is actually hurt, but still better than load management.
If players wonna miss game to rest they still gonna rest if the team put them on injury report
yup.. lebron getting those all nba when he only played half the season is fucking bullshit
Why only lebron ?@@legenddaryl537
It's so ridiculous how they talk about players "losing money" if they don't meet certain stipulations in their contracts.
They're not "losing" money. It's money they haven't earned!
This is the sort of mindset a welfare state creates. People see multimillion $$$ athletes as victims when they don't live up to expectations
Dr Glass.
Sometimes it's difficult to gauge if that really hurt Embiid with how he flops like a fish out of water for every teeny tiny touch he gets.
Players that flop have to understand even if they know how to fall will still take punishment to their body.
stfu he's actually hurt
Stfu 🤫 heartless white collars
Y’all stupid
Eeeexactly
Perfect example of Embiid's career. Laughable flop to get him to his normal and ridiculous 15 free throw attempts a game and then a sad and random injury. I think that about sums it up.
Well said brother!
How’s that haterade taste?
Yaaaay I hope his season is over been pray for this to happen
He is too big to flop And now he suffers a real one. Fair enough.
It looks like poetic justice to me, he injured players with his flopping in the past.
Also, rule makes complete sense to me. If you play you get payed if you don't you are of less value to teams and fans, and you get payed less. All for it.
He sat out against the Nuggets. He's about to pay for that big time.
As a Denver fan, I wanted Embiid to play against Joker in DENVER. The rematch is always a fun sight to see. Embiid's walk was pretty pronounced this game, and he looked like he was favoring one side. I honestly think he wanted to play and shouldn't have tonight. Hopefully they now prioritize getting him healthy for the post season and letting go of the idea he's going to win back-to-back MVPs.
he would've played in denver if he didn't tweak his knee against the pacers
They absolutely SHOULD be paid less if they can't even play 65 games. Their job is to play, so if they can't do so, they SHOULD get paid less
he keeps on avoiding the Nuggets and other tough teams on the road.
This is exactly why his mvp has an asterisk next to it. The league needs to recognize the scoring title as the most points scored, not the most points per game. Broken system when the winner plays 35 cherry-picked games to dominate.
You sound butt hurt
Blah blah blah is all I hear
@@Soundofsilver2007he’s speaking facts lol. Look at who he’s played this year and who he sits out against. He always plays his 35 minutes against sub 500 teams and sits against the others when he does. And mfs wonder why he does so well. Not only is he playing the bad teams but he’s getting more rest than any other star player because he’s the only one that misses a game every week just because he can lol.
I seriously couldn't care less about what Candace ever has to say

Why should we feel bad for Embid ?
Blame the player who voted yes, and the player who took advantage of it before.
@population-_-420 Talking about the new rules about having to play at least 65 games to be all NBA and eligible for the MVP. He's most likely going to be in the running anymore.
@@adams.gestwicki5292 Does either of those effect his contract? If not it doesn't really matter.
Its his fault for prioritizing winning a individual award rather than preparing for a playoff run, it’s does nothing to his contract or money so it was all his choice
he is just an injury prone little beotch
Lets ignore the the fact he's as injury prone, im sure its the 65 game rule that caused this
Seeing VC and JC be analysts makes me feel old lol. 2 of my favorite ballers.
Embiid just building an excuse for yet another weak ass performance and losing streak lmao. When will people learn
17 games is less than 80% of the season. That's WILD to even think you can miss 20% of the season and still be considered an MVP 🤦♂️😂🤷♂️
i’ve never been happy for a injury but boy did this one make me smile
Luka is playing 45 minutes on back to backs with an injured quad and swollen ankle all season, he leads the League since 2015!! in most back to back avg minutes played, he's right behind Embiid in points with way more assists and he's carrying a Mavs team with 2-3 starters injured most of the season. Embiid shouldn't even be the frontrunner for MVP right now when Luka exists.
Any time you participate in a sports activity you have some risk of injury. NBA has some of the best contracts that allow players to get paid while injured in pro sports.
That said, if you're trying to play through injuries, it's 100% your decision, whether it's because you want eligibility for more money next contract or a trophy/title. Regardless, you're not going to be starving if you pause to let your injury heal, it's just a matter of wanting more than your body can provide.

Another reason and excuse he’ll cry for not winning the MVP.
That warrior player is dangerous literally jumps and rolls on the guys leg.
Hate to see anyone get injured. Hopefully, he’s ok. Not sure why the 65-game limit would be an issue for Embiid since he wouldn’t lose anything other than the award. Tough for Hali though. Maybe need to exempt All-NBA from the 65-game min but it’s also tough to feel too bad for an All-NBA caliber player since you know they’re getting paid regardless.
Also how was the game more physical back in the day and still had star players play every game for multiple seasons
cause they were plumbers and carpenters so they were more used to heavy work.

Imma say ha ha. He ask for foul and that's a proper one.
Hopefully this will put Embiid out of the conversation finally and let other more deserving players finally get the attention. This scrub has been hoisted up by the NBA media for waaaaay too long.
i love how we gloss over the fact that even though the warriors are having a little bit better than an abysmal season, yet, they’re being competitive and stephen curry shows up when it matters.
Based on the hyperextension of the knee, could be a PCL tear. Praying he recovers soon!
You think Joel Embiid would walk off the court immediately after tearing his pcl? His knee didn’t even hyperextend. Kuminga landed on his knee, it hurt, so he walked to the locker room.
He might be out two weeks because it’s Embiid, but he’s fine.
there was no true hyperextenstion, he was lying flat on the ground... there is no tear, he was having a bad game and saw his way out of it, all he had to do was limp a little for the cameras

@@notimportant3686damn delusional gsw fans just make shit up 😂😂😂gsw got the w and is still the 14seed🤭
It’s a good rule. These dudes gotta play the games to get the reward.
Poo see. Embiid is a cry baby. Racists gave him the MVP last season. Jokic clearly outplayed him.
The NBA will change the minimum games played rule this season to 50 just so they can give Embiid another MVP while Jokic is winning rings.
He threw his whole body on his leg, that was a wild play...
Give MVP to Donic! Much more deserving then the free throw merchant who sucks in playoffs every single year.
This dude is made of glass. Hate to see anyone get injured, but Embiid only plays when it won't hurt his stats (and if Jokic isn't on the court in Denver), so it's not a huge loss.
When I watched him play in person one thing I noticed was he was always on the floor it was pre season 😂
Big people are always prone to injury. Not just Embiid.
he could've prevented it
Yes historically 7 footers have a lot of injuries. Jokic at 6'11 doesn't get a lot of injuries partly because of his good condtionning and partly because of the way he plays which is basically to not jump high resulting in less stress in lower joints.
No matter what, he is the true MVP this year. Nobody is close to his insane numbers combined with his great defense..
I can't believe this is a convo, injured or not, no awards without playing. Period.
Dirty Choking Warriors being dirty cheaters omg we’re all shocked! They only killed & monopolized their league w/ ref cakewalks to only cost their viewership to the NHL lmfao! Now we back to the GSW Zaza Bountygate😭🤡🤭
Media keeps pushing Embiid in this NBA Hall of Shame league.
Shoulda done it RIGHT BEFORE the denver game
To justify why he dodged the Denver game.
Maybe he should of Dodge the Warrior game more, since you know, they do have the most dirtiest player in the game, and that player might be a mentor to other players on the team.
@@Chronoicand Denver isn’t dirty like the GSW
"justify" like how pompous do u sound right now 😂 HES HURT GET OVER IT
The guy ain't injured he's just a soft 7 ft. He deffently skipped the Denver game
Most definitely. Too obvious. Skipping last game in Portland was also a strategy move, he just couldn't appear on the court in Portland after all the backlash and investigation. Such manipulator, he created this narrative that he has a knee problem so that he can manipulate low IQ fans and NBA officials anytime he wants to skip away game against rivals so that he can pump up his MVP stats at home games. He has no knee problem when he score 40, 50 ot 70 on Pistons, Spurs, Wizzards and stays late in games to keep his 30ppg streak. Hope karma gets him in the playoffs again.
NBA keep the 65 game rule. You shouldn’t be mvp if you miss 17 games.
Karma caught up with him, he faked injuries against stronger teams and the true MVP, now he caused himself a real injury
The issue is: there is no in between, if they allow players to sit out, they're gonna sit out for the whole season and nobody's going to like it. However, with this rule, players are forced to play through tough injuries in the regular season for money and prizes.
"The bigger they are, the harder they fall."
No tweeks needed. You risk injury every time you play. I get 12 sick days/ year. If I go over, I lose pay. Not 54 million though, but about 150 per day ....
Welp no mvp for JoJo
Yeah you could tell he is just Joel EmWeak.

Draymond teaching Kuminga the art of violence
seems you dont know how to play a looseball situation
Embiid is literally the only person who is in danger of not hitting the quota. How is he an MVP if he misses 20% of all games?
in all honesty as a 76ers fan i still favor the rule because no one accuses kawhi and embiid of these things. these are guys with extensive history of injuries thats cost them both alot of money. the problem isnt the rule its their co workers who steal money from fans by sitting out because they just dont wanna play. its the players fault.
Everyone on here talking down on joel needs to chill. The man got injured from a professional athalete falling on his already injured knee and all some of you wanna do us talk down on him... for what? Smh... Prayers for a speedy recovery for embiid.
Hope Embiid is okay. But like, any normal job you gotta show up to work to get recognized for employee of the year or get a bonus. Crazy.
And there goes his shot at the only thing he ever won.. the MVP.
He cried about it and they just left it to him 🤣
He doesn't have MVP trophy he only has Anti-Jokic MVP trophy, that should not be counted as MVP
@@joemilo2710 Jokic got the MVP because it fit the narrative. Same with Embiid. This award has pretty much nothing to do with actual basketball anymore. 2016 award completely ruined it and it has been bs since.
I’m 100% convinced Embiid is faking this injury, or at least the magnitude!
The players association agreed to it. Blame them as well, not just the NBA.
Lmao, the discourse around this is just crazy. From he’s ducking games to I gotta show y’all I’m injured 😂. It’s unfortunate he’s injured but it’s too funny
Jokic plays to win a championship. Embiid plays to win an MVP.
The 76ers have won 8 games by 20 or more points this season, and Joel played more than 30 minutes in each one, averaging 34.5 minutes in those wins.
For guys like Embiid, and Kawhi maybe there needs to be an overall minutes restriction from day one.
Stat padding should also go the way of the dodo.

The man is 7ft and almost 300lbs playing long minutes lol. That shit feels different compared to the average 5’9 man. Also he takes harder fouls than most players.
He got dragged for missing the game in Denver with Jokic. Because it was like the 4th time he missed the game in Denver. People said he was 'ducking' Jokic but I don't think so - he tends to play well those games. But if a guy's hurt, he can't play. But the game min rule is here for a reason. I love the way Jordan used to explain it and look at playing in games - he was proud to play all 82 when he could. Obviously should be exempt with legit injury.
funny how if it was Draymond that landed on his knee people would be crying complaining saying hes dirty and did it on purpose, but since its not, nobody bats an eye. lmfao the double standard contradictions are hilarious.
Crazy how bet ESPN suspended this game from betting around 3 est. Normally it's one thing or the other, but the entire everything on this gane 🤨🤔
And of course Curry hits EVERYTHING that I normally bet on him... 😡
Contrary to public opinion I do not like the 65 game rule. It incentivizes people to try and play through injury. It is on the franchise to get stars that want to play.
