There’s one player in NBA history who has averaged more than 30 points, 10 rebounds and five assists per game while making more than 60% of his shots. He did it last season, and he’s doing it again this season.
He plays Thursday night, in a marquee matchup between two of just 11 players ever with multiple Most Valuable Player trophies and an NBA Finals MVP on their mantels.
He’s the one who enters that nationally televised tilt with basically no shot at winning MVP again this season.
“At this point in my career, I had the conversation with my brother — I was like, ‘Man, it’s crazy to me,’” Giannis Antetokounmpo told Yahoo Sports senior NBA reporter Vincent Goodwill back in December.
