If anyone has made a case stronger than Giannis Antetokounmpo to be an early favorite for MVP, it's a list you might be able to count on one hand, if not one finger.
Averaging 25 points, 14.2 boards, 5.7 dishes and 1.7 steals per game so far in this early season sampling, few if any players can claim the same level of impact Giannis has had on-court so far. So when news came of the Greek Freak's concussion playing against the Orlando Magic this weekend, one might think the league's last remaining undefeated team might be an easy out for the Boston Celtics, who face them this Thursday.
