The MVP thing is boring at this point since the Sixers actually have playoffs games. Embiid was never going to win once analytical writers claimed Jokic was good on defense right before he was subbed on defense in the playoffs.

As far as would Ben Simmons be booed if he returns, we know the answer is 1) yes and 2) loudly. We also know that if he plays his game plus shoots jump shots like a real basketball player, all Sixers fans would cheer and forgive. It has always been 100% on Ben and ONLY Ben
