Joel Embiid has been dominating throughout the season. Fans are also impressed with how he improved his shooting from the 3-point line. However, Embiid stands out the most in his low-post game. Apparently, players have been struggling on defending Embiid inside the paint. He has very quick footwork despite being a big man.

His incredible performances also led him to the first spot of this year’s MVP race, followed by LeBron James and Nikola Jokic. However, fans are expecting him to leave his spot after suffering from a left knee injury.

NBA: Will LeBron James Get His Fifth MVP?

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is still one of the best players in the league today. At the age of 36, James is still dominating on both ends of the floor. However, he won his last NBA MVP award way back in 2013. Despite playing on a different level every year, James still fails to grab his elusive fifth MVP. Now, with all the speculations that Embiid will drop in the first spot of the MVP race, fans think that this is the perfect opportunity for James to finally grab his fifth MVP. If James won this year’s MVP, he will become the very first player in the league to have 5 MVPs, surpassing NBA Legend Wilt Chamberlain, who has four.
