“Firstly, I want to congratulate Nikola. He deserved the award because he had a sensational season.”emphasized Embiid. “There were many candidates, so there was no right or wrong choice.

CHANNEL – ATHLETISTIC:
The Colorado team was defeated in the first round of the playoffs, by the Golden State Warriors. Although he recognized the great achievement of the number 15 of the Nuggetsthe athlete of Philadelphia did not hide his disappointment with the final result of the vote. “I’m not angry, after all. I put myself in a position to earn that recognition in the last two years, but it didn’t happen.”lamented.
“Last season, for example, I campaigned to win. I answered questions openly this year. I really don’t know what else I need to do to win this award before I retire.”. The pivot also criticized the body of people responsible for voting and deciding the winner of the award, which includes members of the American mainstream media:
“I remember a podcast where a press voter said something like, ‘Fuck Jalen Green‘. It certainly sounded like he had some personal rift with the player. If you allow that person to vote, it won’t be fair. What if that athlete was in the running for an award or an All-Star? I don’t think it’s fair, because I don’t think something like that is right.”.
