Despite leading the league in scoring, Joel Embiid was not selected as a starter in the NBA All-Star game. It’s a theme ongoing throughout his career, Herring_NBA writes
All of which raises a question: How is it that he keeps finishing just outside the winner’s circle?
There simply isn’t evidence to suggest that voters—or fans generally—dislike the soon-to-be 29-year-old. He generated 4.9 million fan votes for the All-Star Game and can be seen on television commercials almost any night of the week. Even if there was criticism for him or his style of play——plenty of criticism existed about Russell Westbrook’s stat-hunting during his triple-double MVP season, and complaints abounded in the midst of James Harden’s MVP run because of his style of play.
. And, in what will often come down to a tiebreaker, Joker’s managed to do that while playing seven more games than Embiid., Tatum, Giannis—are lurking in the MVP conversation along with Embiid and Jokić. But another second-place MVP finish for Embiid this season would place him in pretty isolated company. The Logo himself, Jerry West, is the only player in league history to finish as the runner-up three straight seasons—1970, ’71, ’72—without ever taking the award himself.
