Joel Embiid's Big Hand
Interestingly, the timepiece gifted to Embiid by Harden did not fit his big hand. However, Harden promised to provide him with additional links to adjust the watch's size to fit him perfectly.
Embiid was full of praise for Harden, whom he considers the best playmaker he has ever played with and one of the best in the NBA.
He believes that Harden made it his goal to help Embiid become the MVP and has been instrumental in improving his game on and off the court.
Embiid's teammates also celebrated his achievement, and they were given minutes to do so before shifting their focus back to their playoff series against the Celtics. They all had a great time celebrating, and Embiid even shed some tears of joy.
Even before Harden joined the organization, Embiid had been a candidate for the MVP award for the past two years. However, he finished as the runner-up in those seasons.
With a full season playing alongside Harden this year, Embiid emerged as the NBA's leading scorer with an average of 33 points per game.
In the meantime, Harden led the league in assists with an average of 11 per game.
Embiid has added the MVP award to his resume, and he received a shiny gift from his top playmaker to accompany his trophy.
