“It speaks to how incredible of a player he is, how much excitement he creates for fans and people want to follow him and watch him and I guess vote for him in this case. For him to reach that status and that level I think it’s much deserved and I think it’s exciting for all us that are around him each day and get to see him work and the tone he sets for our organization, the teammate he is – it’s just well deserved.”

Antetokounmpo has been a rising star under his new head coach Buldenhozer. He's likely going to be the league MVP, as he's been so dominant for the Bucks. They're on pace to be first in the Eastern Conference and possibly even win 60 games as well.

So far this season Giannis has averaged 26.5 points, 12.6 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game while shooting 57.3 percent from the field and 20.0 percent from beyond the arc. Going forward, if he develops somewhat of a jump shot, he would be downright dangerous.
