So this is it.

The Joel Embiid rule.

I also remember the 65 game rule first got announced.

Everyone was celebrating and also using it to shit on Embiid.

Now all of a sudden people are realizing the rule sucks and it's hilarious.

Okay.

People were seething when Embiid won MVP and when the 65 game rule got put in place.

I think people were seething that Joe Embiid won the MVP because Jokic was better.

But when the 65 game rule got put in place, a lot of people acted like it was the best idea in the world.

And that would really show those load management players.

The glaring issue with this rule are finally showing and everyone's surprised that players actually get injured while playing a vigorous 81 game where they sprint up and down.

Okay.

So again, what?

But he played 66 games.

I think they're mad at the rule, not at Joel B. I think that's where you're confused.

I think I figured it out.

Okay.

Max is mad because the rule is kind of silly in that guys actually get hurt.

SGA actually got hurt this year, right?

So it's weird to put an arbitrary number on like, hey, if SGA actually gets hurt and he plays 62 games, but he's the best player, he should still win MVP.
