NBA MVP candidate: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Milwaukee Bucks
Can Giannis Antetokounmpo pull off the trifecta by winning a third consecutive NBA MVP award? The only other players to pull off this feat were Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, and Larry Bird. Only 26 years of age, Antetokounmpo still has plenty of great seasons ahead of him as one of the most gifted and athletically talented players in the NBA.
Antetokounmpo just signed a supermax extension worth an estimated $228 million for five years as he would want nothing more than to bring a title to the city of Milwaukee while winning another MVP trophy in the process.
Giannis Antetokounmpo should be in the best position to win the award as the Bucks front office main focus was to build the team to suit his strengths in order to take the pressure off of him.
