Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks

Paul George and James Harden are both having exceptional seasons, but if there’s one man that’s going to get between them and an MVP it’s the Greek Freak. Giannis Antetokounmpo is a generational talent.

Captain of the All-Star game, 27.2 points, 12.7 rebounds, 6 assists per game, and 58.1% from the field this season, all at just 24 years old. To top it all off, the Milwaukee Bucks are first in the east with the best record in the league.

Players like Giannis only come around once every decade or so. He’s having the season of his career and he isn’t even entering his prime yet. The Greek Freak is going to be a huge problem for years and years to come let alone the second half of the current season.

If it all ended today Giannis would be the Most Valuable Player and if he remains at the caliber he’s playing at right now he’ll continue to be the clear frontrunner.
