3. Giannis Antetokounmpo (Milwaukee Bucks)

The former NBA Finals MVP and a two-time NBA MVP, Giannis Antetokounmpo is proving yet again why he’s a top candidate for this season’s MVP. His combination of size, athleticism, and skill has revolutionized the game, making him one of the most dominant players in the league.

Giannis’ impact on the Bucks’ performance is undeniable. His ability to score in the paint, grab rebounds, facilitate plays, and play exceptional defense showcases his well-rounded skill set.

Not since LeBron James in his prime has the NBA seen such a dominant player in transition. With the ability to grab a defensive rebound, run the floor like a Cheetah, and slam the ball down with authority, it is almost impossible to stop the Greek Freak when he has a full head of steam!

Not only is Giannis a perennial MVP candidate but he is also a perennial Defensive Player of the Year candidate having already won the DPOY and the MVP trophy both in 2019-20!

What a year.

If he maintains his level of performance and keeps the Bucks in contention for a top seed in the Eastern Conference, Giannis will undoubtedly be a leading candidate for the MVP award.

Having acquired superstar point guard Damian Lillard in a trade, the Milwaukee Bucks are primed to have an unbelievable season and they should be considered one of the favorites to finish with the best records in the league.

Giannis and Lillard are a frightening combination that should have the rest of the NBA quaking in their boots.

With Dame Dolla by his side, the Greek Freak might claim his 3rd MVP trophy this season.
