Criticism
“Hello, call Batman, Joker is robbing people again,” was one in a series of tweets Dwight Howard posted on the social media platform “X”, but he didn’t stop there:
“First Joel Embiid, now Shai Gilgeous-Alexander? Don’t get me wrong, Jokic played well this year, but Shai was killing it.”
“However, since he was skipped over the year before, he had to start all over again, work hard, which is really tough. It’s not easy to win the MVP award. Look, even Kobe Bryant was overlooked for MVP twice. At that time, he was averaging 35 points. He lost one of the titles to someone who only averaged 15 points, which is why he ended his career with only one MVP trophy. Jokic now has three, and he’s in the top five centers of all time.”
Compliments
“I saw that video about Superman, and I had to delete all my messages because I can’t be like that. I’m proud of Jokic. I just wanted to say that everyone now has to talk about him as a top five center of all time. Three MVP titles? Shai had my vote; he’s a killer. I know he’ll be motivated next season.” – wrote Dwight Howard.
