Joel Embiid says he 'should be Defensive Player of the Year' but acknowledges Ben Simmons is deserving as well

Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons are in a somewhat rare situation. Despite playing for the same team, they are competing for the same award. Philadelphia has the NBA's No. 2 ranked defense, and both Simmons and Embiid are Defensive Player of the Year candidates as a result. Obviously, only one of them can win it, and Joel Embiid made it clear who he'd like to walk away with the trophy on an appearance on the Lowe Post podcast.
