Joel Embiid's 2022-23 season was one of the best by a big man in modern NBA history. He won his first MVP, averaging a league-leading 33.1 points along with 10.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.7 blocks on a career-high 54.8 percent shooting. He beat out Nikola Jokić and Giannis Antetokounmpo and became the first center to repeat as scoring champion since Bob McAdoo in the 1970s. He had three 50-point games, 13 games of 40 or more, and a career-high 59 points against the Jazz with 11 rebounds, eight assists, and seven blocks, the first 50-10-5-5 game in NBA history. He led the Sixers to 54 wins and was the best player in the league for the whole season. When Embiid was at his peak, nobody could guard him. Where does Embiid's MVP season rank among the best by a center in the last 20 years?
