Joel Embiid wears his heart on his sleeve.
Embiid has also said before his son Arthur is his motivation and his presence spurred him to MVP heights this season.
Combine those two and you get an unforgettable moment when Embiid called Arthur out to be next to him at center court.
This moment with Joel Embiid and his son Arthur is just so special 😭💙 pic.twitter.com/utjnTnsIbW

This is a well-earned MVP award for Embiid, who finished second in the voting the past couple of years and raised his game — and carried his team at points — this season to earn the award. Embiid’s rise from the NBA’s Basketball Without Borders camp in Africa years ago to this moment is incredible.
It’s a moment he can and should cherish.
