I know, I know, just call Giannis Antetokounmpo the face of the Milwaukee Bucks and move on. He is only the third NBA player after fellow Bucks leader Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and superstar LeBron James to win back-to-back NBA MVPs before turning 26. He’s also the third NBA player behind Michael Jordon and Hakeem Olajuwon to win both the MVP and the Defensive Player of the Year in the same season. On top of that, he just led the Bucks to the first NBA title in forty years. Seems like a shoe-in.
Except for John McGlocklin.
Not Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (I know, he’s been slighted twice and he’s one of the all-time greats).
