The Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid has been named the 2022-23 NBA Most Valuable Player. Embiid, who beat out Nikola Jokic and Giannis Antetokounmpo to win the award, finished second each of the past two seasons behind Jokic.
He’s the third player in NBA history to average at least 33 points and 10 rebounds on 54% shooting from the floor, joining Chamberlain (1965-66 MVP) and fellow Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1971-72 MVP).
