00:00 So now we go into the MVP award market where after a 70 point 18 rebound
00:10 performance last night in Philadelphia, Joellen bead once again is booked as the
00:15 favorite to win the NBA MVP. Of course the reigning MVP award winner who has
00:21 really jockeyed for position with Nicola Jokic throughout this NBA campaign. But
00:27 you'll see on the far left Joellen beads price just over a week ago to win that
00:32 MVP award at 9 to 1. Why was it plus 900? Joellen bead has already missed 10
00:38 games this year for Philadelphia. Not much more room for time to be off the
00:45 floor for and bead 9 to 1 just over a week ago Donnie and beat is the favorite
00:51 once again following a historic performance at plus 130. Yeah and also
00:56 rightfully so it's almost like what have you done for me lately which in beat has
01:00 been great the entire season but if we go back since December Ben how about
01:04 averaging 40 points a game 12 rebounds and 5 assists this is a center we're
01:10 talking about these doing things that we've never seen before which always
01:13 adds to it but also let's remind ourselves take away the 70 point game
01:17 last night which again was a big bump in his MVP odds but they played the Denver
01:21 Nuggets and the Coleo kitch head-to-head and they won that basketball game and
01:25 then bead went off in that game so you're having one of the more
01:27 sensational week and a half runs you can possibly have and again dating back to
01:31 December 1st he is the best player in the NBA but also in the biggest moments
01:36 where the national media is watching like a game against Jokic where that
01:39 might decide the MVP he had a wonderful game here and then tax on 70 points last
01:44 night and also this isn't one of those things but it's like hey I get 22 23 20
01:48 70 he's been dropping 30 plus points every single night and also you take a
01:54 look at the NBA landscape as it is do you think teams are coming in like hey
01:57 you know just let you all get his points and we'll defend everybody else like no
02:00 your one goal going up against the 76ers is stopping Joel Embiid and he
02:04 doesn't care his game is so fluid on the offensive side it's incredible here and
02:09 he's showing everything at the right moment now he's been incredible
02:14 (upbeat music)
