Embiid finally broke through the barrier that Giannis Antetokounmpo and Nikola Jokić had built, beating both two-time NBA MVPs to win the first trophy named for Michael Jordan. Embiid, who finished runner-up to Jokić each of the past two seasons, received 73 first-place votes and 915 total points.
He led the league in scoring for a second straight year, averaging 33.1 points per game while adding 10.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2.7 combined blocks and steals in 34.6 minutes a night.
Unfortunately, his season ended in seven games at the hands of the Boston Celtics after the 76ers held a 3-2 series lead.
