The early months of the NBA season began with a bang for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Gaudy box scores, hyper-efficiency, and big time plays in the clutch generated some very early buzz for the Milwaukee Bucks star as an MVP candidate.
Now, the BMO Bradley Harris Center crowd routinely showers their star player with MVP chants. Giannis figures to receive some first place votes, but for him to win requires him to be better than the already impressive season that he’s put together.
This wouldn’t be just a great player winning a prestigious award, but a storybook-like destiny.
