Ryen Russilo on Embiid's mentality when it comes to MVP: "He does care, and you should care. I want guys to care about this stuff...The only thing with Embiid that I don't like and I think it's more the people around him that get in his head about how everyone is against him."

Russilo continues: " Honestly dude for someone who doesn't have that much playoff success he actually escapes the kind of criticism that we would have for a player that is his level. Normally this guy is getting shit on at this stage of his career and I don't think that happens from a national or neutral level."

Thought that since that sub has been getting bombarded with MVP posts that this was a valuable look into the psyche of Embiid and his burning desire to be the best.
