At the 2019 NBA Awards Show, Giannis Antetokounmpo completed his rise to stardom when he was named the 2018-19 NBA regular season Most Valuable Player.
Some would argue that this rise started around two seasons ago thanks to Kobe Bryant.
In the summer of 2017, Bryant was giving out ‘Mamba Challenges’ to numerous athletes and celebrities in all walks of life. Antetokounmpo wasn’t part of the original group but asked Bryant multiple times for his own ‘Mamba Challenge’ which was ultimately granted, imploring him to win the award.
