It’s official: Joel Embiid is elected MVP of the 2022-23 NBA season! A well-deserved reward after an outstanding regular in many areas. He is well ahead of Nikola Jokic and Giannis Antetokounmpo, while the duel with the Serb from the Nuggets was expected to be much tighter. The whole of Cameroon can proudly show off its chest!
An air of enormous relief: this is what emerges from the video published by the Sixers which captures live the reaction of Joel Embiid to the announcement of his title. The pictures are also very beautiful. After a few seconds, the whole team sings the traditional song “MVP, MVP” before James Harden, who also tasted this happiness in 2018, comes to take him in his arms warmly. The story is all the more beautiful as the pivot from Philadelphia started playing basketball… at the age of 15, in Cameroon.

Of course, it fucks the smile. Joel failed last year after an already fantastic season. Enough to spin fuel to return this season with the increased desire to inscribe his name in the legend of the greatest players in the history of the NBA. With 33.1 points, 10.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists average, he had won the title of best scorer in mid-April. If Jokic has often led our various monthly rankings, he was overtaken at the end by Jojo, who made an exceptional final push to cap the Serbian balding at the post.
Today, there are thousands of young Cameroonians who see this guy receiving the most prestigious individual trophy in the NBA.
After going so far.
It’s a great message. For sport in Cameroon, for the African continent, for the future of basketball.

A little look at the votes? The differences are surprisingly high, because the latest survey of The Athletic reported an advance in favor of Embiid which could be counted… on the fingers of one hand. This throws absolutely no discredit on Niko’s season in Denver, which remains exceptional. Giannis Antetokounmpo comes third, Jayson Tatum and… Shai Gilgeous-Alexander completes the top 5. The future is bright! Oh yes, LeBron James has – for the first time in his career – not received a vote. A mini event that gradually begins the change of era? No doubt, we’re getting fucking old. Come on, congratulations again Joel, we’re all happy for you here!
SO :
1) Someone didn’t put Nikola Jokic in their TOP 5 ????????????
2) Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finit Top 5…!
3) This is a regular season trophy, so yes, Sabonis and Mitchell had an outstanding…regular season. https://t.co/w2WB4AiG4N
