"Monday night, a photo of Jokic in a Denver Nuggets sweatshirt when he was about 5 years old went viral on social media after it was shared on Instagram by Serbian agent Misko Raznatovic.
"Back in 2000, when this photo was taken, he is wearing a Nuggets sweatshirt -- not because he loved basketball or even knew about the Nuggets -- but because he got it as a present. Chances of a kid from a small Serbian town having a sweatshirt from a lesser-known American team back in 2000 were minimal," Raznatovic wrote. "But chances of that same kid growing up to play basketball and achieve his career high, win two MVP titles and sign a historic agreement with the same club whose sweatshirt he wore at age 5, were -- zero."

Joel Embiid’s 2022-23 NBA MVP Case Is Unassailable
youtube
The 2022-23 NBA MVP race has been among the most interesting in years, and this MVP certainly ushers in and serves as acknowledgement of the international wave that the league is in right now.
All 3 of these candidates offer a good reason to believe in them individually as the NBA MVP. Nikola Jokic’s numbers, Joel Embiid leading the league in scoring and Giannis Antetokounmpo’s case as the best player on the most dominant team in the league this year, have all contributed to creating an atmosphere of fervent debate surrounding the winner of this year’s award.
Starting with my pick for the 2023 NBA MVP, Joel Embiid.
At 33 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists, Joel is leading the league in scoring as a center.
Aside from how historic that is, and the fact that he’s doing it for the 2nd time in a row. The last centre to lead the league in scoring was Shaquile O’neal in the 1999/00 season. Before that was David Robinson in 1993/94 and before that Kareem Abdul Ajbbar, Bob McAdoo and then Wilt Chamberlain.
The point is, having a center that scores as much as Joel Embiid, and in the way that Embiid does in as unique as anything in basketball and yet there are some in the NBA media that seem to think different.
Tumblr media
The more concerning narrative to me though, is how the media have chosen not to make a story of how far back Nikola Jokic has fallen in the MVP race.
The Denver Nuggets still lead the conference, but I dare you to tell me that this is a strong Western Conference. The Clippers are now dealing with a new injury to Paul George, Steph Curry and the Warriors have been off-the-pace this season, while the Lakers are scratching and fighting for a play-in spot.
So Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets are essentially the leaders of a Conference whose 2nd and 3rd best teams are made up of young players, because the Western Conference is aging. While Ja and the Grizzlies are the most interesting story in the West as far as the media are concerned, it’s an aging Conference in which most of the best players are in the 30+ age range, if not out injured, as is the case with Kevin Durant and LeBron James.
Former Denver Nuggets head coach and known hater of players that are good at scoring, George Carl, attempted a lazy critique of Joel Embiid by mentioning Embiid’s body language, but it’s just pure hogwash, and George Carl is not an honest narrator.
It became so glaring that Denver Nuggets head coach, Mike Malone, struggled to mount a convincing argument to defend Nikola Jokic’s backslide in this year’s race, and the he actually tried the “everyone’s a winner” excuse, which even if he feels that way will not stop the nitpicking and chatter over this year’s MVP
youtube
The guy that should be in consideration far more than what Jokic is, is Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Aside from his team having the 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, coupled with the most wins of any team in the league, Giannis is averaging 31 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists per game but Giannis not being mentioned as the MVP candidate that he is, which falls right in line with a continued refusal on the part of the national sports media to acknowledge anything that the Milwaukee Bucks have done this season, and that’s a trend that goes back to well before all-star weekend.
The American media have pretty much decided not to talk about Milwaukee. They might have them high up in thier power rankings, but that’s not the same as actually providing coverage/talking about a team or player. 
The Bucks have the longest winning streak this year with 16 wins, the no 1 seed, the first team to clinch a playoff berth and Giannis is arguably the most dominant player in the league. All reasons to talk about the Bucks and yet, the media have given them little to no coverage.
youtube
76ers head coach weighed in with his opinion on April 5th, and just because his opinion is biased doesn’t mean that he’s wrong.
At this point the race should really be over, and as far as I’m concerned Joel Embiid is the 2022/23 NBA MVP, now whether the voters see it that way is a whole other issue.
I will conclude with this.
The NBA MVP is not awarded to the best player in the NBA or the player with the best numbers in the NBA, or even the player with the most wins.
It is the Most Valuable Player award.
And based on that metric, value as I am choosing to understand it, means this player’s team simply cannot win without them playing above average.
In 2022/23, that player is Joel Embiid.

Blog Post 10: The Narrative Structures And Steph, Both Are Underrated
Stephen Curry : Underrated (2023) is a documentary directed by Rick Reilly, gives us an insiders perspective to Steph's life. Steph is a NBA champion, Mvp etc but like typical documentaries of players like him this documentary does not focus on this. It talks more about his journey from an underrated high school prospect to one of the biggest figures in sports. So what is the narrative structure of the documentary and how does evolve the way documentaries are made by focusing on the emotional, psychological and societal challenges that were on his path.
Tumblr media
The narrative structure of this doc does not follow a single timeline, it keeps switching between the life of a young Steph to current day Steph. It does not follow the traditional timeline of rise to fame, instead it keeps switching back and forth and also adds in personal stories from Steph himself, interviews from family, coaches and teammates. It makes us see Steph not only as an athlete but also as a normal human going through complexities of life and emotional arc. This nonlinear way might feel like it is all over the place but gives us more personal insights to the character and in a more holistic manner (Bordwell, 2005).
One of the documentary's main focus is on Steph's foundation years, referring to his College basketball days in Davidson. It is used to draw a parallel between the similar kind of adversities he is facing now vs back in college. These adversities combining with the underdog theme add layers of emotional depth to piece. It also sheds light on a very important social problem; how a person's ability can be underestimated because of views of the society, race or background. It is not about what Steph has achieved but more about how and what he has been through to achieve it. Putting his personal struggles on display and making him feel more like a relatable human allows us as viewers to connect with him on a deeper emotional level (Choi, 2019).
Tumblr media
When showing the adversities, the documentary provides narration from Steph himself which brings in elements like reflection and introspection. The audience at times dehumanise these figures due to their success and status but hearing the self-doubt, insecurity and frustration that Steph went through makes it authentic for the viewer. Letting the subject pave the way for the message and emotional tone through his own voice plays, making the voice an important factor (Denzin, 1997).
Conclusion :
Underrated is one of a kind sports documentary, not only because of the status of Steph and his achievements but because of the unique narrative structure. By blending in the 2 timelines and switching between them, this unique way of storytelling that highlights his lowlights like personal problems and brings in introspection, adds layers of depth to the content. This challenges every other documentary to not only focus on the surface level but also take deep dive into the athlete's life.
