Named MVP Finalist for the third straight year, with back-to-back scoring titles in tow, Joel Embiid has finally earned his first NBA Most Valuable Player award.

For the team as a unit, the 2022-23 season has always been, and continues to be, a “We Season.”

In their own words, here’s what Embiid has meant to that collective “we”:

“Joel has just been dominant. He came into training camp extremely focused. I think it’s the most focused, in my last three years, that I’ve seen him - and that’s saying something, because he’s had career years every year that I’ve been here. He’s stepped it up a notch. This year just seemed different. He’s extremely focused. And his leadership went to another level. I’ve always talked about what he’s done for me, and for a lot of different guys, as far as drawing in the defense, getting better at passing out of double teams, making his teammates better. He’s just been dominant - defensively, offensively, and leadership-wise.”

“I think what separates Joel is his ability to protect the rim on defense, and switch in real-life situations in the game, keep guys in front, and make them take tough shots. When he’s locked in on defense, he’s just that much better. And then his dominance on offense, literally being able to destroy everybody all year, I think it’s an easy decision. He’s the MVP for sure.&nbsp;

You just haven’t seen a big be able to dominate the way that he does, really shooting the ball - where it’s not back to the basket, it’s facing the basket. Really demanding a double every play. There just hasn’t been bigs like that in a long time. He’s one of one.

“I don’t think he necessarily did anything drastically different - I just think there’s more recognition towards his deserving of the award. As someone who’s been with [Joel for four years], to see the progression in his game, to see the progression in his leadership, and to see how hungry he is to win, and do whatever it takes to embrace all his teammates, I think that speaks volumes. He’s super deserving of it. I’m proud, I’m happy.

His game has just evolved, being an offensive specimen out there - somebody who can pick apart other teams’ defenses. He’s changed his game in a way that he’s become more and more unguardable, year after year offensively. And then on the defensive end as well - just doing amazing things to help the whole group.

“When I think about this award, I think about all the different things that MVP means. It doesn’t mean that you’re just great. It means that you’re great amongst all the great players that play in the NBA. That’s pretty special. It doesn’t just mean scoring the basketball. Obviously you have to do that, but you have to do so many more things. You have to rebound, you have to play defense, you have to be a great teammate, you have to make your teammates better, you have to work on your game, you have to be coachable, and you have to win. [Joel] is doing all those things for us.”

“Joel is the MVP because he’s a professional, first and foremost, how he carries himself. He doesn’t say too much, comes in, gets his work. In the game, he’s totally different. Joel is a monster. Unstoppable. 7-something, big dude, you can’t stop him. And he’s got a midrange game - what big guy can shoot the middy like that? And threes? And he can handle the ball? I don’t know.”

“The way he came out and just dominated. His style of play - he can score from the perimeter, he can catch on the elbow, shoot over defenders - even when he catches it on the block, he can just bruise, and get layups after layups. His ability to score at a high rate is really special at his size, too.”

“I mean everything. Everything is different for Joel. I’ve seen him grow as a player, as a man, as a human, and now he’s winning MVP, finally. He deserves it. I’m really happy for him, to see this growth. I’ve spent six years with him, so it means a lot also for me. I’m super, super happy about it. Congrats, Joel. He’s changed a lot. He talks more, and we can discover him more. He’s changed a lot, on the court and off the court.”

“He’s second to none. He’s one of one. And he continues to get better. We’re all finally witnessing Joel Embiid - who I think everybody thought he could potentially be, some years ago.”

“Welcome to the club, well-deserved. I’m so proud, [he] had a hell of a year. Should’ve gotten it last year too.”

“Man, it’s crazy. I feel like I’ve seen Joel perform at an MVP level for at least the past three years now. To see his growth this year, especially when it comes to trusting us teammates, and then just seeing him put in the work day in and day out, showing up every game ready to compete. Above all else, he wants to win. And I think that’s what really separates him.”

“Joel’s shown pure dominance this year. It’s his second consecutive year of averaging 30 points, and continuing to lead us to wins. When you have a center, in this day and age, when centers aren’t really used like Joel is used, and he can do that on a night in, night out basis, and still find ways to be effective - he’s clearly the Most Valuable Player.”

“Joel is an absolute bucket getter. I think the whole league knows that. Just giving him the ball and letting him go to work, every play, he’s dominating, every game. That’s MVP worthy. Not only does he dominate the game on the offensive end. Something I admire about his game is he puts his life on the line. He’ll go and try to block somebody from dunking the ball, and not be scared to get dunked on - things like that, I admire, because I’m also a big. I’ll be like, ‘Dang. He’s got heart.’ I feel like that’s MVP-worthy stuff right there.”

Our MVP: Joel Embiid, in the Words of the 2022-23 Philadelphia 76ers

Matt Murphy

The wait is over. The Philadelphia 76ers (54-28 regular season, No. 3 in the East) tip off the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Boston Celtics (57-25, No. 2 in the East) Monday in Boston. Game 1 is slated for 7:30 p.m. ET on TNT and 97.5 The Fanatic.

The Sixers completed their first four-game sweep since 1985 in the first round against the Brooklyn Nets. They were the only team in the NBA to sweep a series in the round. Game 4 – a 96-88 result – was April 22.

“As [P.J. Tucker] says, the playoffs start now,” Tyrese Maxey said immediately following the sweep. “I guess they didn't start this series. But he said it starts now.”

Maxey is averaging a team-high 21.8 points per game (15-30 3fg, .500) in the playoffs.

The Celtics needed six games to defeat the seventh-seeded Atlanta Hawks, 4-2. Boston dropped Game 3 on the road and Game 5 at home. The series-clinching Game 6 took place Thursday in Atlanta with a 128-120 final score.

Jayson Tatum led Boston with 27.2 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game in the series. Jaylen Brown averaged 26.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 3.0 assists against Atlanta.

On the injury report, Joel Embiid (right knee sprain) was listed as doubtful as of Sunday night. Danilo Gallinari (left knee ACL repair) remains out for the Celtics.

The Sixers dropped the four-game regular season series with Boston (3-1), but won the most recent meeting on April 4, 103-101. The two games in Boston both took place prior to the All-Star break, with the first being NBA opening night way back on Oct. 18. All four meetings were single-digit margins.

On that Tuesday night in South Philadelphia in early April, MVP favorite Embiid dominated, with 52 points, 13 rebounds, six assists, and two blocked shots. He shot an extremely efficient 20-for-25 from the field and 12-for-13 from the free throw line in his 39 minutes of play. It was the NBA scoring champion’s third 50-point game of the campaign.

“I don’t remember him missing a shot,” teammate James Harden said of Embiid. “That’s one of the most efficient 50’s I’ve seen.”

With the April 4 game tied at 89 with 3:14 remaining in regulation, P.J. Tucker went on to make three critical 3-pointers for the Sixers at the 2:53 (92-89), 2:03 (95-89), and 0:53 (101-95) marks. Harden posted 20 points, five rebounds, 10 assists, one steal, and two blocks.

Harden averaged 25.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 9.0 assists against the Celtics this season.

“I think it's good,” Tobias Harris said of the extended time off between playoff series. “We were able to get guys rested. We were able to sweep the first round. We handled our business. Every day we come into the gym, we've still got to handle our business in the best fashion that we know.”

Harris sits just behind Maxey (21.8 PPG) for playoff scoring at 20.3 points per game (8-14 3fg, .571).

Following Game 1 Monday, the teams remain in Boston for Wednesday’s Game 2 (8 p.m. ET). The series then shifts to Philadelphia for Games 3 and 4 (Friday, 7:30 p.m. ET and Sunday, 3:30 p.m. ET, respectively).

Monday is a 7:30 p.m. ET start in Boston.

The Sixers scored 58 more second-chance points than the Nets in the first-round series. According to ESPN Stats & Info, that marks the largest scoring differential for the category in any NBA playoff series throughout the play-by-play era (1996-97).

76ers Head Coach Doc Rivers on this year’s team:

“We’ve got a bunch of guys that aren’t scared of the fight. They actually go towards it.”

76ers Visit Boston Celtics for Game 1  | NBA Playoffs Gameday Report

The 76ers (3-0) have a chance to sweep their first round matchup with the Brooklyn Nets (0-3) in Saturday’s Game 4 matinee in Brooklyn..

Doc Rivers called Thursday’s Game 3 the epitome of a team win - after the Nets outscored the Sixers, 35-18, in the third quarter, the Sixers bounced back for a 26-15 fourth period.&nbsp;

“That was called a win,” Rivers said postgame. “We didn’t do a lot of things right, a lot of things didn’t go our way, and we just hung in there and won the game.”

In a tense affair that included a pair of ejections (James Harden and Nic Claxton), Rivers credited his team for keeping its cool down the stretch.

“We executed down the stretch. Got great shots. We moved the ball, and played right.”

Tyrese Maxey led the way for the Sixers, scoring 15 points in the first half and 10 more in the game’s final - and pivotal - minutes.

Over the course of the series thus far, Maxey has averaged a team-high 23.7 points, plus four rebounds and two assists. The third-year Sixer is shooting a massive 53.8% from 3-point territory.

“I’m always trying to get him activated,” P.J. Tucker said of Maxey postgame. “He doesn’t need a lot to get going. He can just run them off, and take over the game. He’s that good.”

Mikal Bridges had another big night for Brooklyn, finishing with a game-high 26 points, six rebounds, five assists, a steal, and a block. Spencer Dinwiddie added 20 points, three rebounds, a team-high seven assists, and two steals.

As of Friday evening, the Sixers will be without Joel Embiid (right knee sprain) in Game 4.

Saturday’s Game 4 is a 1 p.m. ET tip in Brooklyn.

76ers Seek to End Series with Nets in Game Four | NBA Playoffs Gameday Report

76ers PR

The 76ers defeated the Brooklyn Nets, 96-84, in Game 2, taking a 2-0 lead in this best-of-seven series.&nbsp;

This marked Philadelphia's sixth consecutive playoff victory over Brooklyn, good for the team's second-longest playoff winning streak against any opponent.&nbsp;

Philadelphia outscored Brooklyn, 52-35, in the second half, marking the first time that the 76ers have limited an opponent to 35 or fewer points in the second half of any playoff game since May 4, 2012 vs. Chicago.&nbsp;

The 76ers held Brooklyn to 84 points on 37.5% shooting, marking the first time since May 12, 2019 (at TOR) that the 76ers held an opponent to 90-or-fewer points while shooting under 40.0% from the field. It's the team's seventh such game since the 2011 NBA Playoffs, good for fourth-most in the NBA over that span.&nbsp;

JOEL EMBIID&nbsp;finished with 20 points, a game-high 19 rebounds, and seven assists, marking his second career playoff game with at least 20 points, 15 rebounds, and five assists (4/20/19 at Brooklyn). He joins&nbsp;Hall of Famers&nbsp;WILT CHAMBERLAIN&nbsp;(20),&nbsp;DOLPH SCHAYES&nbsp;(5) and&nbsp;CHARLES BARKLEY&nbsp;(5)&nbsp;as the only players in franchise history with multiple such games in the postseason (Stathead).&nbsp;

Embiid's 20 points tonight moved him past Chamberlain for the 10th-most points in 76ers playoff history (NBA Courtside).

Fifteen of Embiid's 19 boards came in the first half, marking the most rebounds by a 76ers player in a single half of a postseason game over the last 25 seasons (ESPN Stats & Info).&nbsp;

JAMES HARDEN&nbsp;(942) tonight passed Hall of Famer Bob Cousy (937) for 16th&nbsp;all time on the NBA's playoff assist ledger.&nbsp;

TYRESE MAXEY&nbsp;scored a game-high 33 points on 13-of-23 shooting, including a playoff career-high six three-pointers. Maxey is the first 76er age 22-or-younger with 30-plus points and at least six made threes in a playoff game (Stathead).&nbsp;

Sixers Take Game 2, Beat Nets Monday Night

The No. 3 Philadelphia 76ers took a 1-0 series lead over the No. 6 Brooklyn Nets in the Eastern Conference First Round with a 121-101 home victory on Saturday afternoon.

The Sixers connected on a franchise playoff-record 21 3-pointers (21-43, .488) and never trailed in the contest.

“I've been in the playoffs a couple times,” said first-year 76er De’Anthony Melton. “But the Philly crowd is different.”

“It was a good feeling,” Paul Reed said of hearing the crowd chant his nickname ‘Bball Paul’ during a pivotal second-half stretch. “It was a special feeling. It let me know... They like me a lot.”

As of Sunday evening, the injury report for Game 2 once again listed one player as out: Brooklyn’s Ben Simmons (back; nerve impingement).

In Saturday’s win, Philadelphia corralled 14 offensive rebounds and put up 21 second-chance points. The home team committed only nine turnovers, compared to 20 turnovers for the Nets that led to 31 points.

Offseason acquisition P.J. Tucker grabbed five of those offensive boards for the Sixers.

“Playoff basketball is just about every possession,” Tobias Harris (21 points) said. “And P.J., he gave us more possessions out there. Crashing the glass, being physical, his presence defensively... Five steals, five offensive rebounds - that's huge.”

76ers Head Coach Doc Rivers credited his “energy guys” – including Tucker, Reed, Melton, and Jalen McDaniels – after the game.

“I thought Paul Reed and [P.J. Tucker] had an amazing impact on the game. P.J. was great… I thought our energy guys played a big part in our game. Those guys had a huge imprint on why we won.”

MVP finalist Joel Embiid delivered a team-high 26 points in the face of countless extra defenders sent his way.

“He's gonna get us buckets no matter what,” James Harden said of Embiid. “That's how good he is.”

Harden drilled five of his seven total 3-pointers – which tied a playoff career-high – in the game’s first half.

Mikal Bridges scored 23 of his game-high 30 points for the Nets in the opening half.

The Sixers swept the regular season series from Brooklyn, 4-0.

Monday’s game is a 7:30 p.m. ET start in South Philly.

Another notable stat line is that of veteran starter P.J. Tucker, who played his 92nd career playoff game and first as a 76er. Tucker contributed six points on a pair of threes, plus seven rebounds, two assists, and a playoff career-high five steals.

P.J. Tucker on giving some constructive criticism to Paul Reed at halftime of Game 1:

“I felt like he didn't have the energy. Then he came out in the second half and responded. So I told everybody I'm gonna curse Paul out every halftime... We need him, and I'm gonna always stay on him.”

76ers, Brooklyn Nets Meet Again Monday for Game 2 | NBA Playoffs Gameday Report

The Philadelphia 76ers took a 1-0 series lead with a 121-101 win on Saturday in Game 1 of their First Round series against the Brooklyn Nets.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The 76ers have won each of their last five playoff games against the Nets dating back to April 15, 2019. There have only been three longer playoff win streaks against a single opponent in team history (Elias Sports Bureau).&nbsp;&nbsp;

Philadelphia’s 21 three-pointers in Game 1 represent a new franchise record for three-pointers in a playoff game (18 3FG, twice).&nbsp;&nbsp;

Philadelphia shot 48.8% from three (21-43) and 100% from the foul line (16-16), marking the second time in franchise history that the team shot at least 45.0% from deep and 100.0% from the free throw line in the postseason (May 16, 2001), per Stathead.&nbsp;The 76ers turned 14 offensive rebounds into 21 second-chance points, outscoring Brooklyn, 21-3 in that category. Five of&nbsp;P.J. TUCKER’s seven rebounds were offensive boards.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The 76ers swiped 14 steals in Game 1, their most in a playoff game since the team tallied 15 steals against Detroit on April 25, 2008 (Stathead).&nbsp;

JAMES HARDEN&nbsp;finished with 23 points and a game-high 13 assists, marking his third 20-point, 10-assist playoff game as a 76er. These three games are the fourth-most by any player in franchise playoff history (Stathead).&nbsp;

Harden’s seven three-pointers (of 13) match his career high for made threes in a playoff game. He is the fourth 76er ever to have at least seven made threes in a playoff game (Stathead).&nbsp;

JOEL EMBIID&nbsp;produced a team-high 26 points (7-15 FG), marking the 19th 25-point game of his playoff career. That is the seventh-most by 76er in team playoff history (Stathead).&nbsp;

Sixers Take 1-0 Lead Over Nets With 121-101 Win Saturday

In a special miniseries from the 76ers Insiders podcast ahead of the 2022-23 NBA playoffs, Sixers players joined the show to help you get to know them better before the journey begins.The in-depth interviews cover a variety of topics ranging from their own sports fandom to how they want their careers to be remembered. Listen to the full episodes on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts for more subjects, such as dream dinner guests.

Below are some excerpts from the conversations:

P.J. Tucker: “My wife’s second wedding ring. I designed it and went through this whole thing – yeah, it was a big deal. The first one was really modest because I was young. I was 23 or 24, so it was nice, but it wasn’t great. So the second one – ten years later – was a big deal in designing it and the whole process. She was almost crying when I gave it to her, after we had already been married for a long time. That was pretty cool.”

Paul Reed: “I got my mom a house. I think that’s my greatest gift so far.”

Shake Milton: “Maybe just like a little piece of art that kind of is like an inside joke, or something like that. I feel like I would say that, yeah.”

Most memorable sporting event you’ve been to as a fan?

Tyrese Maxey: “Last summer, I went to watch the first round of Serena [Williams] at the US Open. That was my first time at a tennis match ever in my life. For it to be so inspirational that I come home and I start playing tennis, and was actually sitting on my couch at 2 a.m. watching the [semifinals] – women’s and men’s – that’s like second-to-none. That’s amazing. That it can change somebody like that. I had never watched a tennis match ever in my life. I go to hers and watch one first round of the US Open, and now I’m watching tennis and going to play tennis on off days with Shake Milton and [76ers skill development coaches] Tyler Lashbrook and Spencer Rivers. That’s really cool.”

Georges Niang: “My senior year of college, I signed with an agency that was in LA and I got to go to Kobe Bryant’s last game. It was poetic. I think he shot 70 shots and every time he got the ball in the second half, it was like a pickup game. It was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen.”

De’Anthony Melton: “It would have to be one of the USC [football] games. I remember first getting there, you get to do a little tailgate and they walk you through the school. I got to do that, walk through all of the students and stuff like that. Then go onto the field and see them dudes warm up. USC it’s like – it’s pros, so you’re seeing these dudes, they’re big, they’re ready. So it definitely had to be one of those USC games. Those were fun. Got to stand in the stands with the fans and students, do the cheers, all that.”

Reed: “I went to a WWE match recently and that was kinda lit, no cap. In Philly. I think that's the most memorable so far.”

Milton: “I remember when I was little, my pops used to take us to the Texas Longhorns games. So we went to one at Oklahoma State and in the second half, Vince Young came out and ran like 80 yards for a touchdown. That was really cool.”

What is something you think is misunderstood about you by the public?

Tucker: “I think, more times than not, they almost get everything wrong about me… I think I’ve done almost too good of a job of how I present my play and what I do on a night-in, night-out basis, rather than people really seeing the way I change the way I play based on who we play and what we need to be able to win.”

Maxey: “I’m a human being, so everybody struggles. Everybody goes through their moments, whether it’s behind closed doors or on the court. But, for the most part, this is who I am. I don’t smile because it’s fake. I smile because I really enjoy being out there, competing, and playing at the highest level. That’s fun to me.”

Melton: “I’m a quiet person until I really get to meet you. And then I’ll be joking a lot. Probably on the court, people don’t see me show as much emotion. I would probably say that. But I think most of the time [off the court], I’m laughing, joking, playing around.”

Milton: “That everybody thinks I’m just so quiet. Like, yeah I’m laid back and calm, but I feel like everybody in my circle be telling me to shut up more than anything else.”

When you retire, what do you want people to say about you?

Tucker: “I want [teammates] to say that I was the hardest working, most unselfish player they ever played with.”

Maxey: “When I retire, I would hope people would say Tyrese was somebody who outworked a lot of people, who earned everything that he got – all of the accolades he got in the league. There was nothing given to him. And that he somehow got one percent better, literally, every single day and found ways to reach the maximum level of his potential.”

Niang: “I’ll be serious for one time in my life. I think just [for] people to respect the hard work that I put in every single day. I may not have been the fastest, jumped the highest, but at the end of the day I came in and gave my all. Affected the game in a positive way and affected my teammates in a positive way. I think the biggest thing for me is I like to be a team guy, get along with everybody, and make sure the vibes are always up. De’Anthony can attest to this, I probably talk too damn much, but just someone that is always trying to bring energy. Came in and did his job to the best of his ability…and a 3-point sniper.”

Melton: “Man, that he was a real one. He got it done. Nah, I’m playing. Somebody that worked. He ain’t have nothing handed to him. I had to go get everything and I did it my way. I didn’t have to change up or nothing like that. The same person from the time I got into the league until the time I leave.”

Reed: “I want people to say that he is one of the best players to ever play the game. I want people to say that he is a great human being off the court, as well as on the court. One of them dudes that just gives back to his community and really changes people’s lives.”

Danuel House Jr.: “That this guy gave us more life than you can ever imagine. That whatever you think or say about him doesn't really matter because I know the real him.”

How The 2022-23 Sixers Want to Be Remembered: 76ers Insiders Interviews

With just three regular season games remaining, the 76ers (52-27) will play their final home game of the regular season Thursday, hosting the Miami Heat (42-37).

Thursday’s meeting marks the third and final in-season meeting between the Sixers and Heat, after the teams split their home-and-home on Feb. 27 and March 1, with each club winning their away game.

The Sixers won the March 1 game, 119-96, fueled by a standout night from the Tyrese Maxey-James Harden backcourt unit (Joel Embiid - left foot soreness - did not play).&nbsp;

Maxey finished with a game-high 27 points, plus four rebounds and a game-high seven assists, and Harden added 23 points, seven rebounds, and five assists.&nbsp;

Paul Reed notched a 16-point, 14-rebound double-double in the win, leading the bench unit and finishing at a game-best +26.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the Sixers continue to hold the No. 3 seed in the East, 2.0 games behind the No. 2 Celtics (54-25). The Heat hold the No. 7 seed, 1.0 games behind the No. 6 Brooklyn Nets (43-36).

Both the Sixers and Heat will play two more regular season games following Thursday’s matchup.

The Heat are 6-4 in their last 10 games, most recently beating the Pistons, 118-105, Tuesday.

Jimmy Butler leads the Heat in scoring this season, averaging 22.9 points per game. He also leads Miami in assists (5.3 apg) and steals (1.9 spg). Bam Adebayo leads the Heat in rebounding (9.3 rpg).

After his 52-point, 13-rebound outing in Tuesday’s win over Boston, Embiid continues to lead the league in scoring, averaging 33.3 points per game. Harden leads the NBA in assists, averaging 10.8 assists per game.

Embiid now has three 50-point double-doubles this season, more than any other NBA player this season.

Thursday’s matchup is a 7:30 p.m. ET tip.

Joel Embiid on improvements to be made and takeaways from Tuesday’s matchup ahead of the playoffs:

“Just stay together. Defensively, like I said we had a lot of breakdowns, starting with me. I’ve got to be better. And then offensively, just got to keep playing together. Tonight, we had a lot of wide-open shots that we missed. Some nights you make them, some nights you miss them. You can talk about how much we tried to lose that game at the end, but you know we also fought through, being down and coming back, and taking the lead even though offensively that wasn’t one of our best nights. So that’s a positive. So you look at the positive and you just find ways to get better.”
