Just like last season, Giannis and the Bucks have the best record in the NBA. Milwaukee is 32-5 and Antetokounmpo could very well win his second straight MVP award.
In 34 games this season, Giannis is averaging 30.4 points, 12.8 rebounds and 5.5 assists. The three-time All-Star is shooting 55.6 percent from the field, 33.5 percent from beyond the arc and 61.1 percent from the free-throw line.
Antetokounmpo has 30 double-doubles and three triple-doubles on the season.
For the Lakers, LeBron has been stellar all season. The King is averaging 24.9 points, 7.9 rebounds and 11.0 assists in 35 games and shooting 48.6 percent from the floor, 33.8 percent from the 3-point line and 67.7 percent from the charity stripe.
The Lakers are 29-7 on the season. They are in first place in the Western Conference standings. With James and Anthony Davis leading the way, the Lakers have a really good shot at winning the championship this season.
A lot of fans want to see the Lakers and Bucks meet in the NBA Finals. A series with James, Antetokounmpo and Davis in it would be really fun to watch.
Giannis and the Bucks defeated James and the Lakers on Dec. 19 by a final score of 111-104. The Greek Freak finished with 34 points, while LeBron poured in 21.
