Nikola Jokic was named the Western Conference Finals MVP after putting up his 8th triple-double in his NBA Playoffs career with 30 points, 14 rebounds, and 13 assists for the 113-111 win over Los Angeles Lakers.
Ahead of his first-ever appearance in the NBA Finals, the 28-year-old superstar talked about the MVP of the Regular Season, Joel Embiid.
“I don’t think about MVPs anymore, and I think people are just mean at saying Joel Embiid shouldn’t win it. I think he should have won it. He was playing extremely tough basketball through the whole season, and he was really amazing in every game he played”, the Serbian said.
Embiid’s 76ers were eliminated by Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference quarter-final playoffs.
