In Jared Dudley's opinion, the MVP conversation ended after Giannis Antetokounmpo dominated the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday.

Dudley posted five emphatic words on his Twitter account on April 4.

Antetokounmpo scored 45 points, grabbed 13 rebounds, recorded six assists, and blocked five shots in the Milwaukee Bucks' 128-122 win over the Sixers on Thursday. With the win, the Bucks clinched the top seed in the Eastern Conference.

Antetokounmpo has taken his game to a different level in the 2018-19 NBA season. He can do just about everything on the court – score from anywhere, rebound, pass, and defend.

His stats this year have been staggering. It's not uncommon for Antetokounmpo to score 30 points, grab 15 boards, and block at least three shots on any given night. He even scored a career-high 52 points in a 130-125 home loss to the Sixers on March 18.

He's also the main reason why the Bucks are title contenders this year. Milwaukee has been an underachieving team in recent pass. With Antetokounmpo at the top his game, the Bucks have won 59 games for the first time since the 1984-85 NBA season. With three games left to play, it's a sure bet they will win at least 60 games in 2018-19.

Many experts believe the 2019 NBA MVP boils down to Antetokounmpo and Houston Rockets All-Star guard James Harden. The former has been averaging 27.4 points, 12.5 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game. On the other hand, Harden has been averaging 36.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 7.5 assists per contest.

This is a tough call, to say the least. While Dudley made a case for Antetokounmpo, Rockets head coach Mike D'Antoni vouched for Harden. With the Rockets' injury and roster change issues, D'Antoni believes nobody has done more with less than Harden.

You make the call. For Jared Dudley, Giannis Antetokounmpo is the 2019 NBA MVP.
