The NBA Awards have finally concluded. Giannis Antetokounmpo has won the NBA MVP award.
Now at the end of the day, there’s going to be a large consensus that is in total agreement that he deserved the award. You’ll have your skeptics here and there, but 27.7 points, 12.5 rebounds and 5.9 rebounds per game while leading your team to a 60 win season is pretty deserving.
Now, with that being said there is something to be said for players in smaller markets on teams struggling to find identities. The unsung players who battle night in and night out while receiving a fraction of the recognition.
