Embiid fails again: No conference semifinals, only NBA MVP

Another season, another disappointment. Joel Embiid couldn’t lead the Philadelphia 76ers to the ring…again. Despite his strong showing, the Cameroonian was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by Hart, Brunson and the rest of the Knicks.

Once again, the fight for a ring came to an early end for the Sixers star, allowing him to focus solely on his debut with Team USA, a situation that confirmed his less-than-positive record.

joel embiid He will remain the only NBA MVP to not even make it to the conference finals. You might think otherwise, but the list of the best players of the regular phase is not as long as you might think, as there are several players with multiple MVP awards on their record. The list of these players without a ring is even shorter. Charles Barkley, James Harden, Russell Westbrook, Allen Iverson, Karl Malone They won MVP even though they haven’t won a championship ring (yet).

The list of MVPs who haven’t reached the Finals is even shorter. steve nash and derrick rose They managed to win MVP without knowing what it felt like to participate in the qualifying rounds for the title.

But not even a conference final?he accomplished just that joel embiidhe has a long career ahead of him to rectify this dubious honor.
