Lakers Take Game 1 Over Warriors On The Road

After finishing runner-up the past two seasons, Philadelphia 76ers star center <a href="https://www.numberfire.com/nba/players/joel-embiid">Joel Embiid</a> finally broke through Tuesday, being named the NBA&#8217;s Most Valuable Player for the first time in his career.
Embiid won the award in a landslide, garnering 73 of a possible 100 first-place votes, besting Denver&#8217;s <a href="https://www.numberfire.com/nba/players/nikola-jokic">Nikola Jokic</a> and Milwaukee&#8217;s <a href="https://www.numberfire.com/nba/players/giannis-antetokounmpo">Giannis Antetokounmpo</a>, who finished second and third, respectively.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t even know where to start," said Embiid. &#8220;It&#8217;s been a long time coming, a lot of hard work. I&#8217;ve been through a lot, and I&#8217;m not just talking about basketball&#8230;it feels good. I don&#8217;t know what to say. It&#8217;s amazing."
The 29-year-old averaged a league-high 33.1 points while contributing 10.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 66 games.
