If Giannis Antetokounmpo were like Game of Thrones’ Daenerys Targaryen, he could have a whole slew of titles that follow his name each time it’s mentioned. Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Greek Freak, All-Star starter, All-NBA second teamer, All-Defensive second teamer, Most Improved Player, first of his name (in the NBA) and leader of house Bucks.
So far, though, the most coveted NBA award has escaped the Milwaukee Bucks’ brightest young star. MVP is the highest individual honor an NBA player can receive, and one that Giannis obviously wants and has thought about. Why is it obvious? He’s said as much.
