While many consider it a common flaw in the selection process, Analyst Bill Simmons believe otherwise.

Can Embiid Become an All-NBA First Team?
Embiid has formed four All-NBA Second Teams at this point in his career, but has never been to the All-NBA First Team and lost to other centers. In the 2019-20 season, he lost to Anthony Davis and three times (2018-2019, 2020-21, 2021-22) to MVP Nicola Jokic.
While there was a lot of clamor for Embiid to be MVP this year, the award went to Nicola Jokic, who also won the previous season. Embiid has not yet made it to the first team or is losing to Jokic for the prize. He was a great player and made the Sixers a contender for the championship. If he continues to play well, a final Team One selection is a surefire deal for the Process.
